Arenal's Authentic Organic Farming Experience & Night Walk Tour

We did both the organic farm tour and night walk with Jimmy and had a wonderful time 🙂 Jimmy was very knowledgeable and funny, and we loved having him as our tour guide. We sampled many organic herbs and fruits along the walk and had the best lunch prepared right in front of us! It was delicious, and we also loved getting to make our own sugar cane juice. On the night walk, we saw many interesting creatures including a butterfly and a tree frog up close! Both tours were fantastic and we would definitely recommend!

If you love to cook, get your hands dirty or want to get a better understanding of where and how some Costa Rican staple foods are made then come on this tour. We spent about 3 hours walking through the different parts of the farm (which grows food for the restaurant and hotel here) learning about organic farming. Don’t be afraid to ask them to help out or get your hands dirty digging in the dirt. If you’re looking for something different for your trip to the La Fortuna area this was an unexpected highlight of our trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, it was interesting to learn about the crops / plants on the farm and how it is managed organically. We got to try some of the produce which was great and experience traditional methods to help make a Costa Rican snack with coffee - which was delicious! I would like to know more about the native herbs / spices. However, the tour guide Jimmy was very knowledgeable and friendly, all the staff were helpful and attentive. Some really thoughtful touches, we highly recommend this tour.
