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 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.
Lara says
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!

Hi Sammi
iCan you do most of these tours self guided? Like hikes to the waterfall, Rio Celeste, hot springs, hanging Bridge and to the Volcanoes.
Thank you
Sammi says
Yes you can definitely do them self guided!
Jeff Gossman says
Hello,
Any tours to Rio Celeste from Arenal area?
Sammi says
Hi Jeff! Yes! Jacamar runs a Rio Celeste tour (one day) from La Fortuna. You can find it in the drop down list of tours (Rio Celeste and Tenorio Volcano Hike)
Kathy says
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.
Sammi says
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.
Susan says
Do you have excursions to the cloud forest and Monteverde?
Sammi says
Hi Susan, I just sent you an email about it 🙂
Evan says
Do you have a combo pure trek canyoning tour with wave expedition class 2/3 rafting tour for a family of 5?
Sammi says
Hi Evan! We do! When you fill out the form, just write a note in the comment section that you’d like to combine the two tours and we can get you set up for both.
Sarah B West says
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!
Sammi says
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!
Mercedes Rico says
