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 the cooking class, the night walk, 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/debit card or Paypal.

Pooja says
Hi Sammy, how long is the Pure Nature Safari float? Thanks for all the wonderful info you provide!
Sammi says
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.
Pooja says
Hi Sammy, For the combo tour that includes lunch and dinner, are there options for vegetarians? Thanks for the awesome blog!
Sammi says
Hi Pooja! Yes you can definitely get a vegetarian option. The dinner is a buffet so you can choose whatever you like and they have plenty of vegetarian options. Lunch is traditional Costa Rican and we can put in a note for a vegetarian option.
Ana says
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…
Sammi says
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.
Latania says
Hi there,
My boyfriend and I are planning are trip to Costa Rica in October and I would like to confirm the price for the guided tours combination of arenal volcano, hanging bridges, and waterfall. Is the total price for two $136.80 or is it $136.80 per person?
Sammi says
Hi Latania! It is $136.80 per person with the 10% discount. Let me know if you have other questions!
Latania says
Hi Sammy, thank you for the reply.
Annie says
Hello there,
Thanks for the info!
I have 2 questions:
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?
Thank you!
Sammi says
Hi Annie! The price is per person and you can definitely pay for the tours at the office instead of US dollars prepaid. We just ask that you still fill out the form so that we can have a record of your tour request on hand so Jacamar can temporarily hold the spot for you until it is paid.
Eva says
Hi! I’d love to book this for 8 Aug; (family of 4), unfortunately i dont have paypal (bad experience-was hacked so i stopped my account). However, i do have credit card. Is there an alternative possible?
Sammi says
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.
Naomi says
Hi mytanfeet,
I put in a request for PureTrek Hanging Bridges and Canyoning. How long does it take to get an acknowledgement email? or confirmation?
thanks.
Naomi
Sammi says
Hi Naomi, it should be right away. Did you receive an automatic email confirmation? If not, then all the required sections in the form were probably not filled out, when you complete the form you should see a big “Thank you for booking your tour, We will get in touch with you shortly” note. Can you try again and make sure all the sections are filled? You will instantly get a thank you email from us if the form went through.
Amy says
Hi samatha, I was wondering what the difference is between the Arenal hike + hot springs tour vs the combination + hot springs tour? The general information section doesn’t have anything for the combination tour. Thank you, I love your blog!!
Sammi says
Hi Amy! The combination tour goes to the Arenal hanging bridges, La Fortuna waterfall, lunch, Arenal 1968 volcano hike and then hot springs. I wrote a post you can see it here: Arenal Combination Tour and the Arenal hike is the Arenal 1968 reserve and hot springs.
Frank says
Hello Mytanfeet, we’re planning to be in the Arenal region at the end of July and we were wondering if we really have to book the Safari Float at Penas Blancas in advance, or if this is something we can plan once we are there. We prefer going with the flow, especially with our two kids, as we never know in what mood they will be… Thanks!
Sammi says
Hi Frank! You don’t need to book the tour weeks in advance, but to get the discount through us we do need the request at least 24 hours before so we can process the payment and make the reservation so you can see how your kids feel the day before and let us know! 🙂
Frank says
Awesome, thanks for your quick reply and all the useful info on your blog!
Lily says
Hi,
We would like to book the pure nature tour on the rio frii but do not have (nor want) to get a paypal account. Is there another way to pay? We would live to get the discount as we are travelling on a budget!
Thanks,
Lily
Sammi says
Hi Lily, the tours have to be pre-paid to get the discount so you can go to the Jacamar office in La Fortuna to pay with cash or credit card before the tour date. You can submit the request and I will let the Jacamar team know.
