      Do the optional activities change depending on the time of year? I have been on other tours where the optional activities got canceled because the water level was too high or it was too windy and then I was left with nothing to do that day. I want to make sure that won't happen on this tour.

    Asked on July 25th, 2025

    We would like to do the 3 day Tortuguero tour provided by your company that being the Tortuguero Jungle Expedition. We would like to start this tour on 28.1.26 the day after our return to San Jose from Treasures of Costa Rica instead of going to the airport. We don't want to return to San Jose at the end of the Tortuguero tour but want to go to Puerto Viejo for 5 or 6 nights which we are happy to arrange ourselves. Is this possible?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Destination Services Costa RicaOperatorWritten July 2025

      Of course, we will be happy to work on a quotation for the 3-day Tortuguero Jungle Expedition starting on January 28th, 2026, right after your return from the Treasures of Costa Rica tour. It's absolutely possible to end the Tortuguero tour in Guápiles instead of returning to San José, so you can continue on to Puerto Viejo. We can arrange the drop-off accordingly, and since you mentioned you're happy to organize the rest of your stay in Puerto Viejo independently, we'll simply make sure you're in the right place to continue your journey smoothly.
