We love pets at Kalu Yala and our valley is a dog’s paradise. We do require you to bring a crate for your pet to ride into the valley for safety purposes and for sleeping or keeping in a kennel at times. If you do not have a crate, we will rent you one for $5 per day. We also require a refundable damage deposit of $50 (including any injuries to our lovely chickens) that you will have returned upon checkout inspection. Lastly, dogs in Town Square need to be on a leash at all times.

Due to Kalu Yala’s remote destination and the logistical planning that go into making every experience for our clients as smooth as possible, we use scheduled shuttle times (usually 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM) to save you money and ensure you are happy. Because of this, we are required to charge a penalty fee if you are more than 30 minutes late from your scheduled pick-up time at our Basecamp. 

The fee is $10 per person at the time you are late, which is the same rate we charge for a privately scheduled.
