There is no better way to explore Costa Rica than with your own private driver for the day. Your private chauffeur in Costa Rica is not like other cruise ship shore excursions, our private drivers can take you just about anywhere you would like to visit that your cruise ship itinerary allows. The price of the van and private driver is the same whether it is one person or 14 people. You can make this shore excursion in Costa Rica intimate and book the van for just you and your loved ones, or get together a group of friends and save some money. Either way, you are in full control of what you want to do, not stuck to a set itinerary that your typical cruise excursions in Costa Rica offer.
For those cruise ship passengers who want to explore more beyond the port cities of Puntarenas or Port Caldera, our Arenal Volcano Express Tour is a wonderful option to visit Costa Rica´s youngest and most active volcano! This full-day shore excursion in Arenal affords you incredible views of the mountainous region of the Alajuela Province, the Arenal Volcano, and the lovely town of La Fortuna. The best part is you can choose where you want to stop along the way!
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the sites in our comfy air-conditioned 10 or 14 passenger vans. While other tour companies have a set itinerary that you cannot deviate from, The Real Deal Tours puts you in charge of how much time you´d like to spend in each town, and allows you to choose where you want to eat along the way! We recommend trying one of Costa Rica´s famous "sodas" (small, family-owned simple restaurants) to immerse yourself in local customs. Once you arrive at the Arenal Volcano National Park, it is entirely up to you how much time you would like to spend there!
Spanning nearly 30,000 acres, the Arenal Volcano National Park actually boasts two volcanoes: Volcan Arenal and Volcan Chato. The latter has been inactive for over 3,000 years, and its collapsed crater is now a beautiful lagoon. Aside from exploring Arenal National Park, there are tons of optional activities you can add on to your tour in Arenal. Enjoy hiking the area, take a guided tour, or relax in the nearby hot springs. What else can you do on our Arenal Volcano Express Tour?
La Fortuna Waterfall
Hot Springs
Venado Caves
Butterfly Conservatory
Lake Arenal
Arenal Hanging Bridges
Canopy
Horseback Riding
