We are considering your "Amazing Costa Rica" tour. We would like to do the "Catamaran Adventure" and the "Jungle Night Walk Manuel Antonio" (days 10-11). Are they both on the same day? Is it possible to do the both?

The Catamaran Adventure and the Jungle Night Walk in Manuel Antonio are typically scheduled on the same day (Day 10). The catamaran tour usually takes place during the day, while the night walk begins in the evening, so it is possible to enjoy both on the same day, depending on availability and timing. Alternatively, we can also arrange one activity on Day 10 and the other on Day 11, if you prefer a more relaxed pace.

Myself and two friends are interested in taking this tour at the end of February, we like the itinerary and the reviews are very good. We did notice that the last review was from August 2023 - can I check this tour is still active and available for booking? Also what is the nature of the tour, is it tour guide led or is it more independent travel style (based on one of the reviews I saw)? Will there be other people that will likely book on, and if not, is there a minimum number before the tour will operate?

This adventure has received great reviews from our guests on TourRadar, and we're excited to let you know that it's currently active and bookable for all available departures. Rest assured, all our adventures are guaranteed, and we adhere to the highest health and safety standards. We operate with experienced English- and Spanish-speaking local guides for scheduled activities on specific days (Day 2-4, 6, 8). You'll be joined by local guides during activities, but please note, you may not be part of the same group throughout the entire adventure.

Do you have any more recent reviews that you could share with us for the Amazing Costa Rica tour? There are only two reviews, and the last one was over two years ago.

Are you able to confirm which hotels will be used in January & February of next year and whether we will be in a single group travelling together or sharing transport as we move from destination to destination?

Are there optional tours for Arenal waterfall, hotsprings, Monteverde Cloud Forest entrance & hike, Manuel Antonio National park entrance fee and mangrove kayaking? What are their prices?

Yes, it is possible to add an extra night in Manuel Antonio. We require shared transfers from Monteverde to Manuel Antonio, and from Manuel Antonio to San José. Your departure flight from Costa Rica must be after 4:00 p.m. We also offer a similar package called Essential Costa Rica with Manuel Antonio that might suit your plans better.

How much does a single room cost please

The cost of the single room: Single Room | Standard Hotel Category 1 Adult x $3,583.78

Do the double rooms have 2 beds? My travel companion and I don't want to share a bed.

If you need two beds, just let us know when you confirm the booking to do the request to the hotels.

Can you please indicate if all hotels will have AC in the room ? that time of year is very hot and humid and im concern if there is no AC.

No, not all the hotels will have AC. Tortuguero area only have lodgment Lodge style. Monteverde area is cloud forest and the weather use to be cloudy, cold and rain. Unfortunately we can't guarantee you will have AC during the whole trip.

Are single rooms available? If os, how much?

We just update the rate for single supplement per person

Can this be booked as a solo traveller? Also, is there an option to book into a shared twin room with other solo travellers?

Yes, you can book as a solo traveller, the shared room is not an option.

Are passengers required to be vaccinated? Do you accept an exemption letter? What would the price be for a private tour? Can we modify the itinerary to make it longer?

Rates for January are not available yet. You can review them around October. Itineraries can be modified according to preferences (beach or mountain days) for an additional package cost. Some hotels and restaurants prefer guests have a complete vaccination schedule.

Our trip to Costa Rica (Amazing Costa Rica with Destination Services) was a fantastic experience. All the transport arrangements, hotels, and included tours exceeded our expectations. There is a lot of travelling time but if you want to see several different areas in one trip I would recommend this tour. We had a few extra days, one at the beginning, three at the end, and Destination Services were very helpful in adding this to our itinerary. With hindsight I wouldn’t have had an extra day in San Jose ( not that much to see, not that much to do), If we go back to Costa Rica we would not hesitate in using Destination Services.Show more

Amazing Costa Rica - it was exactly as described! So well organised and excellent value for money. The tour isn't a group tour - you share transport between destinations, however it is very much your own holiday and you can do whatever you wish outside of the organised excursions. The hotels were all great and exceeded our expectations. 10/10 would recommend. Everyone in Costa Rica have been super welcoming and friendly. We are both veggies as well and never went hungry!Show more

We have just returned from Costa Rica having had an amazing tour with Destination Services Costa Rica. The hotels were good especially Las Lagos and Poco a Poca and Pachira Lodge which were excellent and far better than we were expecting. Torteguero was our favourite place and we loved the boat journey. The guide Leo was excellent and friendly and very knowledgeable. The organisation was phenomenal. Every journey the driver was there on time. My only tiny Cristian would be that the timings of the journeys between each hotel were very optimistic and always took a lot longer than advised. I would have preferred to know the worst case scenario and then been pleasantly surprised if we got there earlier. Overall though the service the guides the hotels were excellent.I felt we got great value for money. The country is beautiful the wildlife amazing and I would highly recommend this tour and this company to others.Show more

  Are you able to confirm which hotels will be used in January & February of next year and whether we will be in a single group travelling together or sharing transport as we move from destination to destination?
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written October 2025
  There is no group departure for this tour. It begins at the airport, where you'll be picked up and taken to your hotel in San José. Transfers between destinations are shared, operating door-to-door between hotels. The only part of the tour where you'll be accompanied by a guide is in Tortuguero, where you'll stay 3 days and 2 nights at the lodge. It's possible you may coincide with other travelers during your stay, but this is not guaranteed. The hotels included are those suggested in the package, or similar in category, depending on availability at the time of booking.
