    Staying 3 nights at the royal corin, with my mom. We would like to do hanging bridges, waterfall, volcano hike, zip lining and hot springs. Wondering since we’re staying at royal corin is it necessary to do the hot springs. Also we’re going to Manuel Antonio for 4 nights would you recommend zip lining in Arenal or Manuel Antonio?

      October 26, 2019

      As you’re staying at hot springs, I wouldn’t go to another resort, the Corin has really nice hot springs and it’s not really worth to spend a lot more money to visit another resort in my opinion.

      You can zipline at both places, Arenal does have a lot more options than Manuel Antonio, especially if you want to do a more extreme ziplining, the Sky Trek in ARenal is amazing.

      Hi Tamer! You can check out Sky Adventures, they have hanging bridges and a really fun zipline. At Mistico, they have a nice hanging bridges and canyoning, if you want to do that. You can do it in the afternoon, try to do it asap because it tends to rain more in the afternoons. Then you can go to any of the hot springs around, you can check our post here for options: Best Arenal hot springs

    Hi there –

    Do you know if it’s possible to do the Hanging Bridges tour and the Slothies and Birdies guided walk on the same day? We’re only in the area for one full day, so would love to do both!

    If so, would we take the transportation back to our hotel (Tabacon) in between the two or just stay somewhere in the Arenal area? And do you have a recommendation on which we should do in the morning and which in the afternoon?

    Thank you!

      Hi Phillip!

      Sure you can do that, they are both a couple hours walk so one in the morning, one after lunch. I would go with hanging bridges in the morning and slothies and birdies in the afternoon.

      Jacamar can drop you off back at your hotel or if you want to get dropped off in La Fortuna, that is fine too. You can write that in the special comments and they’ll coordinate it.

    Hi Lara!

    Jacamar does have a minimum age of the tour which is 5, for a family with a 3 year old they can do a private tour so they can have more flexibility in case something happens with the young child. This is because on an open tour, they are on a strict set schedule and there are other guests. The whole tour is a full day, with pick up around 730 AM and ends around 530 PM or so.

    If you have more questions you can email us at services@mytanfeet.com

    We are looking at the Hiking Lovers tour. We’d be coming from the Playa Hermosa area and would be driving ourselves to the Jacamar office by 8 AM so we know it would be an early morning for us. We have 3 kids: ages 6, 8 and 3. It says the minimum age for the tour is 5: does this mean the 3 year old would be free, or would he not be allowed on the tour? He’d likely be in a hiking backpack. Also, how long is the tour? We’d be driving back that same day and are trying to decide if it’s doable and what time we’d be heading home. Thanks!

    My hubby is a bigger guy. About 6’0, 280 lbs. What is this company’s weight limit for ziplining?
    Thanks!

      Hi Sarah! That’s awesome, glad it’s been helpful!

      The zipline that Jacamar offers (the tour company we work with to give discounts) has a very nice beginner family oriented zipline, beautiful views and fun but nothing crazy high or fast.

      As for your husband, as long as the harness can fit him he can do it. The biggest it goes is 42 inches. In the booking form, you can request the zipline and put a note in the comment section that you’d like to do hanging bridges and which hot spring you’d like to go to (Baldi/Tabacon/Ecotermales) and we can do a combo day tour for your family with the discount 🙂

      Let me know if you have other questions!

    Hi,

    We will be at Los Suenos and adding on two additional days to see the Arenal area in March. Is there a combination tour with the bridges and horseback ride that we could do in one day?
    Thanks

      Hi Amy!

      Yes you can definitely do that. You can fill out the request for the hanging bridges and write a note that you’d like to do the horseback riding in the afternoon on the same day and we can get you booked for that.

    Hi! so much great information on this website!
    If I want to book a tour (eg. Penas Blancas River Float) but we already have our own car is there a discount since we won’t be needing the transportation?

    Thank you!

      Hi Melina! For the safari floats, Jacamar recommends to take their transportation since it is easier. If you want to drive, you can meet at the jacamar office in the morning and follow their shuttle to the river. They can bring you back to the start point. There is a small discount for it (I think around $5-10, I will have to check with them to make sure exactly how much).

    Hi! Love your site. So much helpful information.

    Is there a combo tour you’d suggest if we want hot springs, hanging bridges, La Fortuna waterfall and the Arenal Volcano hike? We have a full day.

    Also, If we are staying at an air bnb, what is your suggestion for getting to/from the pickup location? We do not plan to rent a car bc there is 6 in our group. Are taxis reliable ? Will they fit all of us? Any suggestions would be very helpful!!

    Thanks!

      Hi Tina! Yes that one is called the Arenal combination tour and you can choose which hot spring you want to go to. You can find it in the drop down list.

      Roundtrip transportation is included in the price but they can only pick up from hotels, so if you could include a map of where your Airbnb is, we can find the best pick up location for you.

    Hi Sammi,

    Actually, I have 1.5 days at Arenal, 2 nights. Sorry it wasn’t clear. So I was wondering if there is a combo tour of zip line and Cannyoning? Or is it possible to sign up for both these tours Pure Trek Canyoning and Arenal Canopy Adventure and tarzan swing on the same day?

      January 15, 2019

      Hi Leo! Sorry I misread! Yes you can definitely do Canyoning and Arenal canopy + tarzan swing in one day with Jacamar! 🙂 You can do either one in the morning or afternoon. Let me know if you have other questions! You can make two separate requests for the same date and just indicate if you’d like AM or PM tour for both.

    Hi, Thanks for all the information on the blog. We also booked our car rental through you and was happy to see you also have discounts on tours. We only have a day an a half in Aerenal so have to squeeze everything in. Is there a combo tour of zip line and Cannyoning? Is it possible to do both these tours on the same day?

      January 15, 2019

      Hi Leo! For a half day, you wouldn’t be able to do both. Canyoning is a half day completely and ziplining is around 2 hours so you’d have to do one or the other if you only have a half day.

      October 8, 2018

      Hi Heather! Due to time, you can’t do all the activities. You can do 2 out of the 3 so hanging bridges, national park and hot springs or canyoning, hanging bridges and hot springs. It’s because the canyoning is an entire half day and the volcano hike is a bit longer too.

      Pure Trek canyoning is a half day and they have it in the AM and PM. If you do AM, pick up is around 730 AM depending on your hotel and return is after lunch time.

    Hi! My boyfriend and I are planning on staying at Tabacon Hot Springs Resort for a week in July 2019. How can we create an itinerary for that week without doing too much in one day? Also, since we’ll be staying at Tabacon already and I see that some tours include hot springs day passes, I assume we don’t need to pay for those day passes? And another very important question, we both have Celiac disease so our diets are completely Gluten Free. Would it be possible that the meals that come with certain activities be gluten free?

    Reply
    • Sammi says

      October 8, 2018

      Hi Syeda, my recommendation would be to dedicated a few days to tours and alternate so you have one day tour, one day relax. Since most of the activities are not very far away in La Fortuna, you can do multiple activities. The combination tour is a great one but because you’re staying at the Tabacon Resort, you can do the hiking lovers tour (hanging bridges, La Fortuna waterfall and volcano hike). That alone will get you some good hiking in and a lot of nature. Then another day you can do an adventure like canyoning, rafting or ziplining if you’re interested.

      For the meals that’s totally fine. Most of Costa Rican food doesn’t have gluten and the meals they serve for lunch is typical Costa Rican so that’s rice, meat, salad and beans but when you make the reservation, write a note so that we can pass it to the tour company just to be 100% sure.

      Hi Pooja! This one is a bit longer, it’s like a 2/3 day trip because the drive is around 1 hour from La Fortuna to the river. They pick up around 730-8 AM and return is around 2-3 PM. If you’d like to do a shorter one, the Penas Blancas is only about a 20 minute drive from La Fortuna and is a half day.

    Hi Sammy

    Love your blog , lots of helpful information, special for me first time travel to Costa Rica. My question can be a little tricky … we are a group of 4 adults and we want to do the Combo tour in Arenal , as we are staying there just for 2 nights. I read a lot of tripadvisor reviews to select with whom we will do the tours. Although Jacamar have very good reviews , for the Combo tour I only found 2 , normally I choose when there’s a significant number of reviews . So I am stuck deciding the tour. I have seen others and they are much more expensive. In fact Jacamar is very attractive in terms of price, and I know you recommend, but this is one of the most expensive tours , one opportunity and I need to increase my confidence . can you help us…

      Hi Ana, the combination tour Jacamar offers is a full day. The Jacamar Arenal combination tours consists of the Mistico Hanging Bridges, La Fortuna waterfall, lunch, Arenal Volcano hike and hot springs. I wrote a post about it you can read here: Arenal Volcano Tours

      Jacamar offers several different combination tour options but the only difference is the hot springs. They have tours with these different hot springs: Baldi, Ecotermales, Tabacon and the Springs (order from cheapest to most expensive) and you can choose which one you want to go to. You can read about the differences here: Best Arenal hot springs

      In the form on this page, we offer the Baldi, Ecotermales and Tabacon with prices listed so you can see how much the price difference is and choose from there.

    1. When the page lists the prices for groups of people (like a group of 5), is the price for everyone in total, or is that price per person?

    2. Also, can we pay for the tours in Costa Rican colones at the office instead of U.S. dollars?

      Hi Eve, they do require the tour to be pre-paid so you can pay for the tour once you get to La Fortuna. You just have to go to the Jacamar office and pay there and they take credit card and cash. You can fill out the form and make the request now and I’ll put a note that you’ll pay at their office. It does need to be before the tour though so August 7 or before.

    Hi Lisa, are you talking about the Mistico Hanging bridges? You have to book the tickets ahead of time at the park. The discounts we have are for guided tours only so if you want to do a self guided hike, you need to go to the Mistico hanging bridges website and book it yourself there. If you want to see the La Fortuna waterfall, you will have to go on your own because the tours we offer in this deal are for guided tours only. You can do both the hanging bridges and La Fortuna without a guide though, it’s more for people who need transportation and would like a guide to learn more about the nature and wildlife. La Fortuna waterfall is easily done without a guide since it’s just a walk down to the waterfall where you can swim or relax.

    Hello! Do you need to book the self-guided tickets ahead of time or do you purchase them when you arrive at the park? If you need to purchase in advance, how do you do that? I only see the option for guided tours. We have a rental car and plan to drive to the park from the Royal Corin. Also, if you do the self-guided hanging bridges, does that allow you to see the waterfall as well? Thank you so much!

      Hi Jill, there aren’t any rafting tours that are a full 8 hours of rafting (that is way too long, you will be too tired). Full day rafting tours are generally 3-4 hours plus travel time and half days are 2-3. For class 2 and 3 rapids, there is the River Balsa from La Fortuna or Sarapiqui for Class 3. Pick up is around 9 AM and you will return around 2-3 PM for the Balsa and around 4 PM for the Sarapiqui since travel times are longer.
