    How many people are usually in the group and are we guaranteed good quality hotels as mentioned?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten November 2024

      We specialize in small groups of 5-8 people. All the hotels we use in all our tours are good quality superior hotels in the different areas visited.

  • A

    Anne

    Asked on March 15th, 2024

    Wondering why it's about $1000 more than other Costa Rica tours of the same length. Also the itinerary descriptions are really limited and generally just about meals. Do you have a better description of the itinerary?

    Tour Details
    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten March 2024

      This program has more inclusions than other programs of the same length, besides we use Superior class Hotels.

  • D

    Don

    Asked on February 5th, 2024

    I am interested in booking the 9-day Costa Rica tour. Could you give more overview on what the tour entails (e.g. attractions, sites, visits)? Or will the tour only drive us to certain places?

    Tour Details
    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2024

      This tour will visit 4 beautiful areas of Costa Rica: San Jose, Arenal Volcano, Monteverde Cloudforest and Manuel Antonio National Park. The tour includes visits to attractions like Sarchi oxcart factory, hot springs, hanging bridges, zip lines, national park, and beach activities.

    • D

      Don

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Do you offer a similar tour that stretches over 10 days? Is it possible to change the drop-off on the last day of the tour?

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2024

      We have two 13-day programs similar to this one: Naturally Costa Rica and Best Sport of Costa Rica. You can change drop off to a different place or hotel and modify transfer date.

    • D

      Don

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      When you say the program can be personalized and extended, does that mean we would be able to add another extra day to the 9-day tour?

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2024

      You can add an extra night to the 9-day program to fit your itinerary.

    • D

      Don

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Could you be more specific about adding an extra day? What would the added cost be? How can I arrange an additional day? Can the additional be added to any of the visited locations?

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2024

      Extra cost depends on the area. Extra day can be added to San Jose, Arenal, Monteverde or Manuel Antonio. I can make a quote and update the price for you to book.

    • D

      Don

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Would like to add an additional day to visit a beach. Do you think adding a day to Manuel Antonio makes sense? What would the additional cost be? How many people would join the tour?

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2024

      Adding a third night in Manuel Antonio is a good choice. Extra night in Manuel Antonio beach is $230 for double room with breakfast. This is a semi-private tour with maximum 10 people.

    • D

      Don

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Would you be able to prepare a final quote for the modified program so that we know the overall cost?

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2024

      Modified 9-night program total is USD 2400 x 2 = USD 4800. The tour will finish on April 06th.

    Gary

    Asked on April 2nd, 2022

    Will I be able to get my airport transfer both ways, just on a different day? I am coming as a solo travel but don't want/need a private room. Is it possible to not book the single room option (so I could share with another solo traveller)? Can you tell me the age range of others booked on the 9 or 10 April tour? Couples, Families or other solo travellers?

    Single supplement
    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten April 2022

      The program you are interested of is available for the dates requested, however we do not have any other single traveller to share room with you. It would have to be booked as a single traveller. Regarding the extra night, it can be confirmed at any of the areas that the program will be visiting and the airport transfer can be done in a different date without any problem.

      Gary

      TravelerWritten April 2022

      Can I confirm, you can pick me up on 9 April at airport and take me to San Jose even though my tour doesn't start until 10th?

      TravelerWritten April 2022

      Is there anything you can do on price? It's a lot for a solo person!

    Tammy

    Asked on February 8th, 2022

    Do you require passengers to show proof of COVID vaccination? Are there any COVID precautions taken during the trip?

    Travel Support
    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2022

      To enter Costa Rica it is not necessary to have the vaccination certificate, however to enter tourist places, hotels, restaurants and most public places, it is required to have the QR or complete vaccination certificate. In Costa Rica, in the whole country and much more in the tourism sector, the same precautionary measures are still being taken since the beginning of the pandemic. The use of masks is mandatory, constant hand washing, taking temperature, disinfection of vehicles, social distancing.

  • R

    Ross

    Asked on February 7th, 2022

    If I wanted to stay an additional day at any location is that an issue? I would be happy to simply join the same tour the next day and follow on with them but I can imagine there may be a location or 2 where that might be what I wish to do perhaps making the tour a couple days longer which I would of course be happy to cover

    Tour Details
    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2022

      Regarding your inquiry, it is absolutely possible to extend your stay in any of the areas you are going to visit, there is no problem. Only that as March/April are high season months, we would need to know in which of the areas you would like to stay more nights, so that we can book in advance.

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2022

      If you like nature - Arenal volcano .. there are many things to do and see in this place. If you are a beach person - Manuel Antonio definitely would be the place.

    • R

      Ross

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      Do you have a suggestion or recommendation? Is there someone who knows the places well I could speak to for some advice?

    • R

      Ross

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      I like to be able to go to local markets and meet the people in villages as well as taking pictures of sights and any exotic animals so would leave it to you to suggest where spending an extra day would make sense.

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2022

      You will have some free time on your own to visit Local markets, meet people, eat at local Tico Restaurants, etc. Definitely I would recommend the extra day in Arenal or Manuel Antonio beach.

    • R

      Ross

      TravelerWritten February 2022

      So if I did an extra night in each leaving 31st returning 9th to San Jose (or 10th in time for 3pm flight) what would that make the final price?

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperatorWritten February 2022

      If you add an extra night at each place (2 nights total) .. this would be the final price for 1 person traveling Solo USD 3050
