Where will we meet
We will meet at Alajuela Province, La Fortuna, Costa Rica - Pick up at your hotel and from there the experience will start.
Waiting time is 10 minutes maximum after the pick up time.
Transportation is included only from hotel in La Fortuna area, any hotel located outside of La Fortuna will involve an extra fee for pick up.
Tours can be cancelled by our guide if there is lighting, only if the tour is cancelled by the guide you will receive a full refund.
We are in the rainforest, so a tour will not be cancelled if it's raining, it is important that people always bring a poncho or rain jacket.
Do I need to be in shape for this experience?
Not entirely, the walk on the bridges is soft and goes at an easy pace so you can learn and see as much as possible of our rainforest. The length of the tour on the longest trail is of 3.2 kilometers (2 miles) and lasts 2 to 2,5 hours to complete. The same will apply when visiting the volcano national park. The hike to the waterfall though is a hike down on steep stairs, 520 stairs to be precise and then back up. Is worth the adventure, kids and people of all ages can do it.
Is lunch included?
Since this is a full day trip, we recommend you have a nice breakfast at the hotel, often while on tours some snacks, fruits, water will be provided, also a delicious Costa Rican lunch after the second activity and to end up a great dinner is also included at the hot springs resort.
What clothing and shoes should we wear?
Hiking shoes or sneakers will be ideal for the hikes as well as comfortable clothes: shorts, t-shirts, tank tops. A change of shoes and clothes may be also required if you plan to go for a swim to the refreshing waterfall! Don't forget a bathing suit, there will be changing rooms before starting the hike down to the waterfall if needed or after the hike and at the hot springs resort. Bring also mosquito repellent and sunscreen and a raincoat in case of an usual rainshower.
Do you offer private tours for groups?
Yes, please contact the blackvoyageurs team via the contact form.
Should I bring a phone or camera?
Sure, keep in mind it will be under your supervision and we highly recommend a waterproof case.
