6.Arenal Volcano Expeditions Walk with Optional Hot Springs

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 41 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $58

Walk a volcanic-rock trail near Arenal Volcano with a guide who explains local plants, wildlife, and geology. The 4-hour outing includes park fees, transport, water, and fruit. Add about three hours at a hot spring for an extra fee.

“This tour was a bit disappointing. We were actually expecting much more than what we got. It only consisted of us walking down a trail, reaching a viewpoint and returning back to the van. The price we paid was way too high for just that. We didn't even get the Hot Springs Option. Do not get me wrong... the tour guide and driver were SUPER nice and knowledgeable but I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Heads up: You can actually just pay the park entrance fee and walk the trail on your own. You do not need a guide. Once I found this out, I was upset.”

14.From Kraków: Slovakia Treetop Walk and Thermal Baths

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · from $214

Travel from Kraków to Ždiar in Slovakia for a 600-meter treetop path, mountain views, and an optional slide. Then spend the afternoon at Chochołowska Baths, with warm outdoor pools, whirlpools, water games, and paid sauna areas.

“Wasn't quite what we had hoped for. We only had an hour for the treetop walk, which means that you can start walking almost immediately and come back down quickly. You have to buy a ticket upstairs for the slide. Then to the Thermal Baths. It was VERY busy here because of the holidays. Really not recommended during the holiday period. The provider cannot do anything about it. Therefore we did not go to the salt cave or sauna. More the vibe of an ordinary swimming pool than a thermal bath. There is a bar in the outdoor pool where alcohol is served and loud music is played, not really…”
