Arenal Tours Discount FAQ

Which tours do you recommend to do?

The Arenal and La Fortuna area is best for hiking, outdoor adventure and wildlife.  For specific recommendations, you can read our favorite things to do in Arenal post.

A few of our favorite activities are canyoning, the river safari floats and the Arenal Volcano hike.

I’m traveling alone. Can I still get the discount?

If there is already a tour running, you can join as a solo traveler. Most tours have a minimum of either 2-4 people so we will check availability and let you know. If it isn’t available, we can keep checking or give you other options. Otherwise, you will have to pay for the minimum amount of spaces in order for the tour operator to open the tour.

For example, if a tour requires at least 2 adults to run and there isn’t anyone else booked, you will have to pay for 2 spaces to run the tour as a solo traveler.

It says tours include transportation. I have my own car, can I drive and meet the group?

If you have a car, you will drive to the tour operator’s office in La Fortuna to meet the shuttle for pick up. There is no discounted rate for it.

The tour operator provides transportation from hotels in downtown La Fortuna to Tabacon. If your hotel is outside the free pick up zone and has an extra fee, we will let you know. These are hotels like Arenal Observatory Lodge, Chachagua Rainforest Lodge and Lost Iguana. We will send you the location of the tour operator’s location and parking lot when your reservation is confirmed so you know where to go to meet the group.

I’m staying at an Airbnb/vacation rental. Can I still get picked up?

No, transportation is not provided from Airbnbs and vacation rentals. You will need to go to the closest hotel for pick up and drop off or if you have a car, you can meet the group at the downtown office.

Can I pay in cash or credit card?

The invoice we send you can be paid via credit card.

    Hi

    If we had to pick between “Hanging Bridges – waterfall-volcano hike” vs “safari float-waterfall-volcano hike”, what would you suggest? Kids 9 and 13.
    Between the hanging bridges in arenal and the ones in Monteverde, if we had to pick one, which would you suggest?

    Reply
    • Sammi says

      November 14, 2022

      It depends what you guys want to do, hanging bridges involves hiking, safari float is no hiking, you’ll probably see more animals on the safari float than the hanging bridges but hanging bridges lets you get higher up in the rainforest.

      Both Arenal and MOnteverde hanging bridges are good but Monteverde has higher ones in elevation if you want to experience more of the cloud forest.

    Hi there,

    Can you tell me why this combined Waterfall and Mistico tour is not available for children under the age of 5 when both places allow young children? Is it because they are free and therefore the tour company doesn’t want to allow them? We are travelling with our 3yr old son and want to do both. Do I have to purchase separate then?

    Reply
    • Sammi says

      November 10, 2021

      Our tour partner runs open tours so they take as many guests are booked for the day, for children under 5, they recommend a private tour in case the child gets fussy or something happens as not to disturb other guests and also because on an open tour, they cannot stop, wait or make changes in the plans in case the child wants to leave or something occurs. Open tours can have 10, 15, 18, (a lot of people) on the tour that they have to stick to a schedule and stay on.

      I would say both but if you really can only do one…I’d go with the hanging bridges, you will miss a lot if you go on your own since there aren’t any signs really or information throughout the park. At the Manuel Antonio national park, there are many signss with information in the park and wildlife is easier to see there than the hanging bridges (also if you see groups of people in the national park looking up and pointing at something, it’s easy to check out what they’re looking at).

    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.

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

    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?

      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.

    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!

    How long of a ride is it from La Fortuna if you want to do the Class 3 & 4 white water rafting trip? I’m trying to decide between the two different trips and the shuttle ride to/from might the deciding factor.

      That one has a pick up time around 8 AM and is about a 1 hour ride. The Balsa river that is Class 2 and 3 is about a 30 minute drive.

    Hi there! Your recommendations have become my go-to for planning our family’s trip to Costa Rica after Christmas! Quick question, our family of 4 would love to do the tamest, beginner (hahaha) zipline, hanging bridges, and a hot springs. Is there a 3-1 with that?

    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 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).

    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!!

      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 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.

      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.

    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.

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.

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.
