Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

Drop off at the Arenal-La Fortuna centrally located hotels are available. Please note that if you choose this option, dinner will not be included in your tour because it’s done in a restaurant on the way back. Also, there is an extra charge for drop-offs with luggage, but in the case of this tour, it doesn’t apply because the cost of the dinner will cover the drop-off charge. If you wish to take this option, you must let us know at the time of booking.
