      Tyler

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      Would the tour still be on if there are only less than 3 people in the group? Or will there be flexibility to change it if the number is too less?

    • T

      Tyler

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      As I require a visa to travel, is there a way to hold the reservation for a few days and confirm once the visa is approved?

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      Our next two trips to depart both have 12 pax booked on though, so this should give an estimate.

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      Should there only be one or two guests booked onto your departure, we will normally get in contact to offer an alternative departure date with more guests, should you want to do that. This is very very rare though. All departures are guaranteed to go ahead though, regardless of the amount of customers booked on.

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      At this stage in time, you've got plenty of time to confirm your visa and then make your booking.

      We have a minimum age of 18 on our tours, and a maximum age of 45. I noted that you said it was 2 adults and 1 children, which makes me believe you may be outside of the age range for this product.

    What time on november 6th do we have to meet for the one nov 6-15?

    Tour Details
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten September 2025

      The only activity on day 1 of tour is the welcome meeting / dinner which is held around 6-7pm. As long as you arrive before then you are all good! I would recommend arriving around early afternoon to give you time to check in and chill before meeting the group.

    Asked on September 7th, 2025

    Are you able to let me know what the driving time is each day just so I have a better gauge of the amount in total for the trip.

    Transport
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten September 2025

      Travel times can vary depending on traffic, road conditions, and the specific itinerary. While there are sections of the trip that involve travelling by minibus, we do our best to keep drives comfortable, include regular stops, and balance travel time with plenty of activities and sightseeing.

    Helen

    Asked on May 7th, 2025

    Is there a way for us to get transportation back to san jose after the tour?

    Flights / Transfers
    Transport
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten May 2025

      The tour ends in Santa Teresa, the nearest airport is Juan Santamaría International Airport, San Jose (SJO.) There is a shuttle bus that goes form Santa Teresa to San Jose (SJO) airport. This costs around $50. The Shuttle runs from 06:45am arriving at 2pm and at 2.45pm arriving at 9.30pm. Therefore we recommend not booking a flight earlier than 5pm. This can be booked via your guide once on tour.

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten March 2025

      If cancellation occurs due to emergencies like unplanned surgery, it would result in a 100% loss unless covered by personal travel insurance.
