- AVienna May Sauvage· June 19th, 2022This trip was the honeymoon for my partner and I that got put off for 2 years because of Covid. Waiting was hard but made it so much sweeter when we finally got to go on our trip. I was a little apprehensive about a group tour but we had so many opportunities to be with each other and make new friends along the way that I wouldn't trade it for anything! Costa Rica is absolutely stunning and we are so lucky to have had the most amazing CEO to guide us!Show moreTrip date: April 2022Review collected by G Adventures
- AJacqueline Giase· June 17th, 2022It was an emotional adventure. I was challenged physically, emotionally, and mentally. Despite our ups and downs, I would not change a thing. It was a journey of self-discovery, of learning about the world, and meeting people you never would have met otherwise. I am so grateful for this opportunity and want to keep the pura vida lifestyle in my heart and my everyday life.Show moreTrip date: April 2022Review collected by G Adventures

Asked on November 15th, 2025Looking for a trip for our high school seniors. They are 17. The package says ages 18+. Confirming that they would not be allowed since they aren't 18 yet.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025
Yes that is correct our tours are 18+ however we could put you in contact with our private groups team who could help find a tour that will work in that setting. We don't offer any customised tours, but we can run one of the tours selected from our website as a private departure for your group. Typical private group size is 8 or more.

Philip
Asked on October 31st, 2025How much extra is it to have a private room? Also if I want to stay 2 days longer somewhere on a beach how much would it cost?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
This tour is an 18-thirtysomethings tour which uses Hostels (Mutlishare) for most nights, single occupancy is not an option for this tour. If you would like to stay extra nights near the beach, you would need to book this on your on as this tour ends in San Jose and we can only offer additional nights booking at the ending hotel in San Jose.

Sherry
Asked on October 1st, 2025is this suitable for 10 year old and 61 year old is there any tour starts Nov 23
- G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025
The 'Costa Rica: Ocean Waves & Sunsets' tour is part of the '18 to 30 somethings' travel style so all travellers booked on these tours must be between the ages of 18 to 39. We do have two family tours in Costa Rica that we can recommend!

Linda
Asked on September 28th, 2025I am 32 and looking for a trip with people similar in age late 20's to late 30's to explore Costa Rica. I am looking for right around Christmas and into the first week in Jan. Dates are flexible.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025
Usually for our Journeys style tours the travellers tend to be in their 50's-70's. I did see we have the December 18-31 departure which currently has 4 people confirmed on it who are all in their 40's, but we could have more travellers book on it who are in different age ranges. If you were wanting to travel with people in your age range I would recommend the 18-thirty somethings tours which are for travellers from 18-39, I would recommend the Basic Costa Rica: Coastlines & Cloud Forests tour.

Linda
Traveler•Written September 2025I would be interested in the clouds and coastline tour for December with the 18-30s age range. I am 32, do you see it being more 18-20s?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025
Generally speaking on 18 to 39 yrs old tours, we do have many travelers in their 20s, more than in their 30s (generally 60/40 percent) We could also check the demographics for a specific departure and give you an idea of the travellers signed up, before you book

Asked on June 6th, 2025First question it says to age 39. I'm 40 so is that ok? Next question if I book and need to change dates (not cancel ) for any reason can I without a charge?can I do single room ? Last question can I add a tour later?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2025
This tour is a part of our 18-30somethings travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 39 to book onto. A 20% deposit is required to confirm a trip. This deposit is non refundable, however, if the tour is cancelled it becomes lifetime deposit on file for future use. If you decide to change the date up to 30 days prior to departure, we can cancel and book on the new date, and use the lifetime deposit towards it, so you will not lose it. You can book your own room for an additional charge. There are a few optional activities that can be pre booked, and it can be added later.

Asked on February 12th, 2025how strict is this tour age wise? I'm 59, but I'm pretty active.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025
the tour is specifically designed for 18 - 39 year old travellers. As you don't fit within that age bracket we won't be able to book you on this trip.

Lindsay
Asked on February 10th, 2025is it possible please to add an extension on the beach at the end of the tour for a couple of extra days?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025
Unfortunately, there is no way for us to customize the tour. If you wanted to stay in Montezuma longer, you would need to sign off the tour and make your own arrangements back to San Jose. You would not be reimbursed for the unused services.

Lynda
Asked on February 9th, 2025Can I get an exception for that trip? I'm 41 currently and the tour is for ages 39 and under.

Our 18-to-30 Somethings tours are designed for travellers aged 18-39 years old wishing to form interpersonal connections with travellers around their age.
