Asked on September 25th, 2025Is it possible for us to go straight to Tortuguero that day or do we have to move it to the next day?
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written September 2025
The most scenic option is by boat, but it's important to depart at 6:00 a.m. in order to arrive in Tortuguero around midday. The flight option needs to be checked in advance to confirm availability for that day and whether your arrival time allows for the flight connection.

Traveler•Written October 2025Is it possible to do a trip to Monteverde cloud forest and after finishing tour going straight to Tortuguero?
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written October 2025
A one-day tour to Monteverde is not feasible, as the journey takes approximately 5 hours each way, making it impossible to continue with the itinerary to Tortuguero, which departs at 6:00 a.m. the following morning.

Asked on December 2nd, 2024Can I get transport from airport to hotel before my tour starts on January 18th? Do you have a transport voucher for the earlier date?
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written December 2024
You can coordinate transportation to the hotel before your tour starts, but you'll need to arrange movement to the first hotel by yourself. We don't use vouchers - you'll only need your passport ID for hotel check-in. Tour providers will find you in the hotel lobby, and we'll send a confirmation services letter with detailed information.
