Will we see animals on the [Manuel Antonio, Monkey Mangrove, Crocodile, ATV, Zipline, Carara, etc.], tour?

While we do not guarantee that you will see animals on any of the tours we offer, our tours have been designed to maximize your chances by putting you in the right place at the right time. The animals you might see on the tours we offer are wild. Although we make no direct promises, we enjoy a rich variety of wildlife in Costa Rica, so seeing animals and/or rare birds while you are in the rainforest is subject to the whims of nature. This applies to our tours of Manuel Antonio National Park, The Monkey Mangrove tour, Crocodile tours, ATV's, Zipline Canopy tours and any other tours that offer the chance to see flora and fauna in the wild.

?

Can we wear sandals on ATV tours?

Closed-toed shoes are highly recommended on our ATV tours to protect your ankles and feet from any debris that might fly up while you are driving your machines through the rainforest. Ultimately, you must sign our waiver that absolves us of any potential liability and as such, you can make the determination for yourself.

?

How far is it from Jaco to Arenal / La Fortuna?

Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna are approximately 3.5-4 hours from Jaco.

?

Are there hot springs in the Jaco/Los Suenos area?

The short answer is ‘no.’ Hot springs are formed when rocks and other matter deep within the Earth’s surface become heated. These heated elements force water below the surface up, creating hot springs. In order for this phenomena to happen, there has to be a suitable heat source. In the case of hot springs in Costa Rica, more often than not, that heat source is volcanic activity. Since there are no active volcanoes in or around the Jaco / Los Suenos area, we do not have hot springs available here. The closest volcanic source for hot springs is Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna, which is approximately 3.5-4 hours from Jaco.

?

Do you offer airfare?

We do not offer airfare for purchase. We recommend using whatever source you typically book your air travel through.

?

Our vacation packages do not include airfare - you will need to purchase airfare separately. Once you have purchased your tickets, update us with your flight info so that we can make the necessary arrangements for pick up and drop off back off at the airport in accordance with your flight times.
