        Hi,
        I had a few questions about the Sky Trek Canopy Tour (Ziplining). I wanted to be sure that this is the one in Arenal (La Fortuna) and is the one where you take the gondola up the mountain to start the adventure.
        Also, if the time that we book is for 9am, is that the pickup time or the time we arrive at the facility? If it is when we arrive, then what time would pickup be?
        Last question, we are staying at Lost Iguana Arenal, is there pickup available from this hotel?

        Thank you so much!

          Hello Ally!

          Let me answer your questions for you! 🙂

          #1. Yes! The Sky Trek Canopy Tour is the one where you take the complimentary gondola (called the Sky Tram Aerial Tram Ride) up to the start of the forest where the first zip-line cable is located. The tour is run by Sky Adventures, which has two adventure parks in Costa Rica (excluding their third park, which is a hot springs park over in the Rincon de la Vieja area of Costa Rica): one adventure park in the Arenal region (about a half-hour drive west of downtown La Fortuna) and one adventure park in the Monteverde region (about a 10-minute drive north of downtown Santa Elena). These are links to our discounts for the Sky Trek Canopy Tour in either place:

          Arenal Sky Trek Canopy Tour (adult): https://puravidaeh.ca/discounts/sky-trek-canopy-tour-ziplining-adult-la-fortuna-sky-adventures/
          Monteverde Sky Trek Canopy Tour (adult): https://puravidaeh.ca/discounts/sky-trek-canopy-tour-ziplining-adult-monteverde-sky-adventures/
          *If you need them, links to student and child discounts for the Sky Trek Canopy Tour are provided on the adult discount pages listed above.

          Assuming you’d like to experience the La Fortuna/Arenal tour, not the Monteverde tour, you’ll want to place an order for the discount advertised on the first of the two pages linked to above.

          For more information about both tours, don’t miss the articles we wrote on our Costa Rica Travel Blog:

          #2. For the tour times mentioned on our website, these are typically tour start times. When a hotel pick-up is provided by the tour operator, it’s usually set for a time before the tour start time. The exact pick-up time depends on a few factors, mainly the hotel you plan to stay at, and it’s sent to us by the tour operator when they confirm a tour. Usually, depending on the tour operator, pick-up times range from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours prior to the tour start time. Since you’re staying at Lost Iguana, this changes things a bit because the hotel doesn’t fall within most La Fortuna tour operators’ normal pick-up zones. For Sky Adventures, this tour operator can provide transportation to/from Lost Iguana, but only at specific times of the day (right now, they’re running transport from Lost Iguana at 7:00am, 8:15am, and 2:15pm), and depending on availability. If you’ll have your own rental car, I’d recommend driving yourselves to/from the Arenal Sky Adventures Park to save yourself some time, as well as the tour operator’s transportation fee. (If you drive yourselves, you’ll be asked to arrive at the park 15 minutes before your tour start time, so if you choose the 9:00am tour, you should plan to arrive no later than 8:45am.) If you won’t have a rental car, though, that’s okay—you can have Sky Adventures plan to provide transportation to/from the hotel, it just may require an earlier morning start.

          Pura vida! 🙂
