I am a 46yo mom and my son is 14. We would like to join this tour as it fits our budget. We are quiet, friendly, adjusting travelers. Please let me know if you can make an exception for us for this tour.

Please note that this trip falls under the 18 to 35s travel theme, and therefore we are unable to accommodate any requests that fall outside the age limit for this departure.

I'm 42 years old. How strict are you with the age range?

This specific trip is specially designed for travellers within the 18 – 35 age range. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept bookings outside of this limit.

If anyone come to pick us up at the airport?

We have two travelers interested in this tour, however, they are slightly over the required age range. Could you kindly consider making an exception for them?

I'm 53 yrs old; is this tour only for 30-somethings? How do I choose and pay for the Optional Tour choices like the La Fortuna Waterfall Hike?

This trip falls under the 18 to 35s travel theme, and therefore we are unable to accommodate any requests that fall outside the age limit for this departure.

Do the kids (12 and 10 years old) pay for this trip?

Our One Week in Costa Rica trip is an 18 - 35's trip so all travelers must be within that age range to book on. If you are looking for a Family trip in Costa Rica we do have 2 options available: Costa Rica Family Holiday.

I'm older than 35. I'm in my 50 but I'm fit, lots of fun and very young at heart. I love hiking, biking and any type of outdoor activities. Is it possible to join this group or do you have a similar group for mature adults I can join in March 2026?

The selected trip departure is specifically designed for travellers aged 18–35. We do have a similar trip with the same itinerary called 'Costa Rica: Hike, Bike & Raft', which accepts travellers aged 15+, so you would be welcome to join this departure.

On the days that we are choosing what activities we would like to do, are we given a list of activities and specific vendors and transportation to select from or do we have to arrange our own transportation and can select any vendor? For example, is there a specific zip lining company in Monteverde we have to use?

On free days, your group leader will usually suggest popular optional activities and trusted local vendors, and can help arrange transport if needed. You are also welcome to book independently if you prefer, there's flexibility. For something like zip-lining in Monteverde, there may be a recommended provider, but you are not limited to it. Just chat with your leader at the welcome meeting, and they will help you plan based on what you're interested in.

What accommodation is designated for this tour and does it have internet?

Accommodation will be on twin share basis and solo travelers will be paired up with another traveler of the same gender. A single supplement is available at an additional cost of $370 if you prefer not to share a room on this trip. Accommodations include: San Jose - Casa Orquideas, Monteverde - Hotel Atardecer, La Fortuna - Arenal Rabfer, Puerto Viejo de Talamanca - Cabinas Los Almendros.

Do you have a strict age limit on this tour? I am 37 and this was one of the only tours that would fit my current travel plans and budget. Do you have a list of hotels you usually use? How many people are already booked on this trip date?

The One Week in Costa Rica trip is specifically designed for travellers between the ages of 18 and 35, and unfortunately, we are unable to accept travellers outside of this age range. We'd be happy to recommend an alternative option: Costa Rica: Hike, Bike & Raft, which would suit your travel plans and budget.

In this package there is no hotel category shown please advice

For this trip you can expect the accommodations to be at a local 2.5 star rating, very simple and clean.

This was the best trip of my entire life, and I travel a lot! From the guide to the other participants and the destinations, everything was absolutely perfect. There were so many activities to choose from, and the guide always did everything she could to make an activity possible, even when you were the only one interested in it. I truly felt like I had found a new family. A year later, we’re still all talking in our WhatsApp group and even planning to meet again in another destination. I would love to experience this trip all over again. And the jungle… it gave me chills! An unforgettable experience that will stay with me forever. ❤️Show more

We're thrilled to hear your trip was such an unforgettable experience, and that it brought together an amazing group of people who are still in touch and planning future adventures together. That's exactly the kind of connection we hope travel can create. We're also delighted that your leader helped make every moment count and that the jungle gave you those once-in-a-lifetime memories. We hope to see you on another Intrepid trip soon!
