The activities in Arenal you can't do in Samara. I agree with vg that's too much to cram into 4 days

Need help planning these activities. budapest cheap hotels Four full days in Arenal area. Want to do the following and not sure who to book with, how many can be done in one day,. and whether it's best to do while in Arenal or Samara. Help!
Then we want to do during other 3 days: Sky Trek, Hanging bridges, Cano Negro, budapest cheap hotels Penas Blancas by canoe and boat tour (half our group), Tubing at Springs Resort, Tenoria Rafting, Proyecto Asis Animal rescue, and Canyoning with La Roca Tours.
Rincon de Le Vieja and Hacienda Guachipelin, Ostional Wildlife Refuge, Barra Honda Cave, Tamarindo (Guaitil Pottery), Corobici Safari Float, Palo Verde National Park (cave? boat tour), tortuga Island.
Wow, that's a lot of activities for Arenal. Too many to do I think. For example, Cano Negro takes all day, so it wouldn't really allow you to do anything else that day. Sky Trek took us about four hours, rafting is usually an all day tour as well. I think you're going to have to narrow your list down.
The activities in Arenal you can't do in Samara. I agree with vg that's too much to cram into 4 days. You can do the early hanging budapest cheap hotels bridges toiur, then the 2 hour (or so) tour of the volcano base and then afterwards do SkyTrek, since the three are (relatively) close to each other. Then wind down at night at one of the hot springs. For the boat tours I would do Cano Negro or Penas Blancas, not both. That's another full day there. As for the rest, I would just book the day before for what you feel up to. I've found in traveling, and especially in CR, that it's best to just have some ideas in mind and go from there. Some days it may be raining, some days you may be beat from the day before and want lower impact activities, etc.
Thank you Tully - I did want to go to Rincon budapest cheap hotels for 2-3 days but my family loves the beach and don't want to change accomodation to much (we are travelling with 80 year old grandparents also). I thought we could do a day trip to Rincon (it will be a long day with driving). Not sure how easy the drive would be though from Samara to Rincon. There seems to be enough small day trip type stuff in Samara area though. Or am I wrong??
