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.

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
Amy
Sammi says
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.
Christa says
Hi!
My boyfriend and I are interested in a combo tour that goes to the hanging bridges and ecotermales hot springs. We are staying at arenal observatory lodge. Do you have a recommendation?
Thank you!
Sammi says
Hi Christa, you can request for the hanging bridges tour and put a note you’d like to go to Ecotermales Hot springs and we can arrange it for you with Jacamar.
Melina Chow says
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!
Sammi says
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).
Tina pittore says
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!
Sammi says
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.
Leo says
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?
Sammi says
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.
Leo says
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?
Sammi says
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.
Wendy says
What is the cancellation policy for booking the Pure Trek Canyoning?
Sammi says
Hi Wendy, cancellations or no shows the day of is 100% no refund. If cancelled before 5 PM the day before the tour, the refund is 100% of the payment.
Pamela Thomas says
Can we book these tours on christmas day? (dec 25/18)
Sammi says
Hi Pamela, yes definitely, the tours will be running.
Heather says
Hi,
Is there a combo for
The hanging bridges trail
The national park hike
Hot springs
and Cannyoning?
If not, how long is the Pure Trek Cannyoning tour?
Thank you!
Sammi says
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.
Syeda says
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?
Sammi says
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.
