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

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.

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?

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

is it possible to change the hotels in the Costa Rica travel?

Do you mean all the hotels during the tour or just the first hotel?

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

  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?

  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.
