    Carla

    Asked on November 4th, 2025

    For the included meals throughout the trip and the cooking experience on Day 1, will there be vegetarian options? On the last day, if I get a transportation back to San Jose, after what time should I plan my international return flight out of Costa Rica? Is there an option for a physical SIM card instead of e-sim? Will shared rooms have separate beds?

    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025

      Yes there are vegetarian meal options available on this trip. You can depart Manuel Antonio at any time on the last day. If you are departing from San Jose Airport, you will need to leave enough time to get yourself to the airport - Suggest late afternoon flight. Im sorry I believe that only Esims are available from Tour Radar. Yes shared rooms will have separate beds.

  • B

    Brenda

    Asked on September 23rd, 2025

    If I (female) am travelling alone and inviting a friend of mine (male) arriving separately and we do NOT wish to room together, should I book for two of together, or book as two separate purchases? Could you explain the cancellation policy for this particular tour more fully? I read the general cancellation policy but found it rather confusing.

      Brenda

      Traveler•Written September 2025

      How does the ESIM work? Does it provide a local Costa Rican number or what kind of telecommunications access does it have? Is there a way to see more reviews on this particular trip? I see only three reviews and it looks like they may not be for this trip specifically. And then, is it possible to get a bus from Manual Antonio to the airport at a lower cost than the private shuttle?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      Solo-ish tours are specifically designed for single travelers who don't know each other (even if you are not going to be rooming together with a friend, the trips are only meant for people traveling by themselves so they can meet new people and make friends! Up to 30th day prior to departure: Your 20% non-refundable deposit is saved on your file as Lifetime Deposit towards a future tour with G Adventures. From 29th day to 3rd day prior to departure: 70% of travel fare becomes non-refundable: 50% cancellation fee + 20% Lifetime deposit. From 2nd day prior to departure up to departure day or in case of no show : 95% of travel fare becomes non-refundable: 75% cancellation fee + 20% Lifetime Deposit. For more reviews you can certainly check directly on the G Adventures website. At the end of the trip if you preferred to arrange a local bus back to San Jose you can certainly arrange this directly through the bus company (or your tour leader can assist with this in destination too!)

    Luke

    Asked on August 14th, 2025

    I am a solo traveler, I would like to have my own room. Will that be extra?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025

      We believe that travelling by yourself shouldn't be more expensive. We treat single travellers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Don't want to share a room? No problem. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option—a single room all to yourself at a great G Adventures price. The "My Own Room" option for the Solo-ish Costa Rica starts at $300 *this price may change depending on the time of year and hotel rates.

      Luke

      Traveler•Written August 2025

      Another thing will the total tour be $1274 plus $200?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025

      Yes! It will be added to the tour cost. So $1274 + 299.00. Note again that it needs to be requested, if you decide to proceed, please start by creating a hold and messaging us from the booking about the single occupancy option and we can go over the requesting process.

    Asked on July 3rd, 2025

    I am interested in booking the Solo-ish Costa Rica trip for September 20-27, 2025. I see that the trip ends at Manuel Antonio National Park. I'm wondering if transportation can be arranged to the airport in San Jose on the 27th?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025

      Yes we can add on a shuttle to San Jose airport for 80 USD per person. We have two times available: 08:50 Departure / 13:50 Arrival and 12:50 Departure / 17:50 Arrival.

    Single supplement
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025

      My Own Room is currently sold out for this June 14th departure date, so we would have to request it with our local office. We would have to have a confirmed booking and then wait a few days to hear our local office's response. Is My Own Room a deal-breaker for you?

      Traveler•Written April 2025

      Okay I can get that refund without paying for premium protection insurance?
