I am looking for departure dates for the Premium costa Rica trip in early January 2024.

Trip that starts on Saturday, Jan 6, 2024 and Ends on Sunday, Jan 14, 2024 is AUD $6,350 per adult in a twin share room. Trip that starts on Saturday, Jan 20, 2024 and Ends on Sunday, Jan 28, 2024 is AUD $6,115 per adult in a twin share room.

How big is the tour group on the Premium Costa Rica tour? And what type of transportation is used to go between locations?

The group has a max size of 12 passengers. This trip includes time spent travelling in a private vehicle (think mini coach bus) with your group. It's all part of the adventure and a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. You will make stops at interesting locations to break up the longer drives. There are only 4 spaces left for our January 7, 2023 departure on a request basis only.

Can you tell me where we would be eating for the lunches and dinners that are not included, how much they would cost and whether vegetarian food is easily available

Meals included: 8 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners. For meals not included you will be able to visit local markets, cafes or restaurants. Your local leader will be able to make recommendations based on dietary restrictions. Fruits and vegetables will be widely available so finding suitable vegetarian meals should not be a problem.

A wonderful way to explore Costa Rica. The hotels all had amazing views from the balcony, and the food was really tasty.

I would 100% recommend this tour - a wonderful way to explore Costa Rica. Our guide was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the country and wildlife. The hotels all had amazing views from the balcony, there was a good mix of included and optional activities, the food was really tasty, and we had a really nice group of 8. Everything is well organised and explained clearly along the way - I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the wildlife and different regions of Costa Rica - you'll learn and see a lot :)Show more

As first time Intrepid travellers we weren’t sure how we would like the small group tour. We were so happy we decided to try it. Costa Rica is a beautiful country with unbelievable scenery and lovely people. But what really made this trip special was our tour guide. His passion and knowledge of not only the flora and fauna but the history of his country was so incredibly rich. I came away with such a great appreciation for what this small country has achieved. He made sure all of our fellow travellers felt comfortable and I think since we were all like minded we had a great time together. The excursions were fun and again educational. The accommodations were in beautiful settings. What’s not to love? Pack your bags and enjoy! Show more
