      TravelerWritten November 2024

      Beaches and Nature with Santa Teresa: How many people on the tour? Is it a bus or a van? All of the "Others" are included? eg. Hotel Taxes. We will already be in Costa Rica ahead of the Jan 8/25. How does pick up work? What if the tour is not full?

    • Destination Services Costa RicaOperatorWritten November 2024

      We cannot guarantee that you are going to be traveling with a group. If you book the package and nobody else booked on the same travel dates, we are going to schedule just for you all the activities. For sure you will meet more people on the shared transportation services and in all the tours. Just for Tortuguero area you will be traveling in a big bus, the rest of the trip will be by van. Hotel taxes, yes are included. You can let us know the name of the place you will be staying to coordinate the transfer service, or we can let you know the name of the first hotel, and you can arrive by your own.
