Three Volcanoes, Arenal Volcano Tour

Experience the majesty of Costa Rica’s volcanic giants in a way few ever do—soaring above them in comfort and style. Embark on an extraordinary aerial journey with HeliJet’s Three Volcanoes Tour, a premier helicopter experience that showcases Costa Rica’s most iconic volcanic landmarks. Departing from San José’s Tobías Bolaños Airport, this tour offers an unparalleled perspective of the country’s diverse landscapes, from towering peaks to lush rainforests.

Irazú Volcano

Your adventure begins with a flight over Irazú Volcano, the highest active volcano in Costa Rica, standing at 3,432 meters (11,260 feet). Known locally as “El Coloso,” Irazú boasts a dramatic main crater and the striking Diego de la Haya crater, which often contains a vivid green lake. On clear days, visitors can witness the rare phenomenon of seeing both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans from its summit.

Poás Volcano

Next, soar towards Poás Volcano, renowned for its massive crater—the second widest in the world—measuring nearly a mile in diameter and over 900 feet deep. This active stratovolcano features a highly acidic crater lake that emits plumes of sulfuric gas and water vapor, creating a surreal landscape. The surrounding Poás Volcano National Park offers rich biodiversity, including cloud forests and unique flora adapted to the volcanic environment.

Arenal Volcano

The final leg of your tour brings you to the picturesque Arenal Volcano, a perfectly conical stratovolcano rising to 1,657 meters (5,437 feet). Though currently in a resting phase since 2010, Arenal was one of the most active volcanoes in Costa Rica, with a notable eruption in 1968 that reshaped the surrounding landscape. Today, the area is a hub for eco-tourism, offering hot springs, waterfalls, and rich wildlife, all set against the backdrop of this majestic volcano.
