    Looking to understand more about the hotels. I am not really looking to share a room with someone.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2025

      For the 18-30 somethings trips these will always be multi-share and no option for the My Own Room single supplement. We don't offer any of the Classic style Panama trips which have this option but you might want to review some of the other Central America trips (Classic Style trip option) as these will have the My Own Room option that you can pay extra for and then you would not be sharing with another passenger.
