La Fortuna perfectly balances adventure with romance, offering intimate experiences immersed in Costa Rica’s natural beauty. As a locally owned, family-founded company with over 30 years of experience, Blue Pass—formerly known as Aventuras Arenal—specializes in creating seamless adventures for couples seeking both relaxation and excitement.
Based on years of experience with honeymooners, here are our most beloved couples’ experiences:
1. Drift Along the Peñas Blancas River on a Private Safari Float
Why honeymooners love it: Peaceful, intimate, and teeming with wildlife.
Glide down the Peñas Blancas River, where nature takes center stage.

The slow-moving water allows you to soak in the scenery and each other’s company—pure serenity in the heart of the jungle.
While we offer regular safari float tours, we recommend our private option for honeymooners.
