Wonderful tour, skip dinner 😉
We had a great experience with our guide Mario. Not only he took us to see beautiful landscapes and animals, but he also took time to share experiences and knowledge that enriched our tour. If you're planning to go to the Baldi hot springs don't forget to bring a change of clothes. Also, the lockers at Baldi are quite small, we advise you to bring a small backpack/bag. At the Baldi hot springs you can have a drink while in the water, the bar is inside the pool, so maybe bring a plastic bag to keep the money (you can only pay cash). The package includes the dinner, therefore we were expecting something special. Unfortunately, the dinner was a buffet, not many choices, close to zero veggie options, soft drinks and alcoholic beverage not included. We'd preferred to have just the Baldi entrance included and left the choice to stay at the restaurant (yes, there's a nice restaurant in addition to the buffet) or to eat somewhere else. All in all great tour, don't include the dinner.

1 Day Arenal Experience
Our tour guide Mario was absolutely amazing!! Very knowledgeable and has a wonderful sense of humor!! I would definitely book this tour again!

Great value for 12 hours of adventure
Always go for a guided tour when visiting La Fortuna. Not only do you have a better chance to see wildlife (the guides tell each other where they've spotted different animals) but the amount of information on everything from flora and fauna to local recommendations makes it even more worthwhile! Mario was very professional, and had lots of fun stories and wasn't afraid to joke around at our expense (in the best way!) He also kept the mood lighthearted when the rain came in, which lifted everyone's soggy spirits.

Arenal Highlights (arenal 1 Day) + Baldi Hot Springs & Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Arenal Highlights (arenal 1 Day) + Baldi Hot Springs & Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Arenal Highlights (arenal 1 Day) + Baldi Hot Springs & Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Arenal Highlights (arenal 1 Day) + Baldi Hot Springs & Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Arenal Highlights (arenal 1 Day) + Baldi Hot Springs & Dinner?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Arenal Highlights (arenal 1 Day) + Baldi Hot Springs & Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Arenal Highlights (arenal 1 Day) + Baldi Hot Springs & Dinner?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Arenal Highlights (arenal 1 Day) + Baldi Hot Springs & Dinner start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, North Fields Cafe: Craft Specialty Coffee and Chocolate Tour, Canyoning Adventure Rappelling Waterfalls in Arenal Volcano. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
