    Asked on January 6th, 2024

      Traveler•Written January 2024

    • D

      Donald

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      How are the roads on this journey? Are they all paved? & also, I see a different price on this website and trip adviser, are they the same?

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperator•Written January 2024

      the roads on this journey are all paved. This program has the same price in other websites. If you see a difference, for sure it is because something is not included. This one is complete in every sense. Example, not all fly and drive tours include full cover insurance or second drive for free or some park tickets.

      Traveler•Written January 2024

      The flight home will be leaving San Jose early so we would need to be back in the area the night before. Would this change the cost as we wont be having breakfast? & also is there a sat nav in the 4x4?

    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperator•Written January 2024

      We just switch the night on the beach for the night in San Jose for the last night near airport. As for breakfast we can give you a credit for that in the final price. As for the Sat Nav in the 4x4, the car rental company provides that service for an extra charge of $8 USD per day approx.

    We are interested in doing this tour, starting 13 March 2023, or around that date. Can you please confirm availability, and that we would definitely have a place if we book online (2 people)? Also, approx. how many people would be on this tour?

    Price / Availability
    • Destiny Travel Costa RicaOperator•Written February 2023
