Keymaster1Hi Sdonovan27!
This is great to hear! It’s always a treat to meet travelers who plan to do and see a lot during their visit.
Re: the Sky Trek and Sky Tram tour in La Fortuna/Arenal. Great choice! Don’t miss our discounts for that tour here:
Adult discount: https://puravidaeh.ca/discounts/sky-trek-canopy-tour-ziplining-adult-la-fortuna-sky-adventures/
Student discount (for the 13-year-old in your group): https://puravidaeh.ca/discounts/sky-trek-canopy-tour-ziplining-student-la-fortuna-sky-adventures/
Child discount (for the 8- and 11-year-olds in your group): https://puravidaeh.ca/discounts/sky-trek-canopy-tour-ziplining-child-la-fortuna-sky-adventures/For helping you decide whether you should do the hanging bridges at Sky Adventures or the Mistico Park, please see this detailed article of ours: Mistico Park or Sky Walk/Adventures: Which Arenal Hanging Bridges Are The Best?
Regardless of whether you choose Sky Adventures’s Arenal Sky Walk Hanging Bridges or the Arenal Hanging Bridges at the Mistico Park, we have discounts for the hanging bridges. You can find them here: https://puravidaeh.ca/product-category/activities/hanging-bridges/
For canyoning or rafting, why don’t you do both? Two operators in town provide this full-day combo; one of them (Pure Trek) has a tour that’s suitable for children, so your 8-year-old can participate: https://puravidaeh.ca/discounts/canyoning-tour-and-balsa-river-rafting-tour-adult-la-fortuna-pure-trek/
To confirm, you can fit everything you mention into 2-2.5 days in La Fortuna, plus have every evening free to enjoy the hot springs at Tabacon. The combined canyoning/rafting tour would take one day. The other three adventures (the Sky Trek Canopy Tour, the Sky Walk Hanging Bridges OR the Mistico Park Hanging Bridges, and a visit to the La Fortuna Waterfall) are each less than a half-day experience, so you could combine all three into one day, or else do two on one day and the third the following morning.
Lastly, a week at Las Catalinas is plenty of time to do all of the activities that you mention. 🙂
