  • V

    Vicky

    Asked on August 17th, 2026

    Is Costa Rica hiking friendly? If yes, do you also offer hiking itineraries?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2026

      We don't offer any customised tours, but we can run one of the tours selected from our website as a private departure for your group. Typical private group size is 8 or more. For most of our departures the minimum number of people required to run a private departure is 8 (with some exceptions). We can make some enhancements to some of our tours, but there are limitations and restrictions. If you don't meet the minimum of 8 travellers, we suggest to book on a public departure. Our public departures do not require a minimum number of travellers to run as we offer these as guaranteed departures. For private departures for groups with less than 8 passengers, the price will increase as the group size decreases.

    Rachael

    Asked on July 24th, 2026

    Is the hotel used on the 1st and 8th night still Hotel El Sesteo? I'm a solo female traveller and have read reviews saying this hotel is run down and in an area which is not safe for women on their own.

    Vincent

    Asked on July 9th, 2026

    Are most of the activities and daily excursions included in the price? We have been on a G Adventures trip to Peru before. Breakfasts were included with the hotel each morning. Is breakfast not included in this package?

    Meals
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      There is 1 Lunch meal included in the tour price. The day to day activities are included, apart from the optional activities. The trip will proceed as per usual on Christmas Day.

      Vincent

      Traveler•Written July 2026

      Will breakfast be available at each hotel?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      It will depend on the hotel. If they serving breakfast that you can pay for additionally then you do have the option to get some.

    • V

      Vincent

      Traveler•Written July 2026

      I want to make sure that most daily activities and excursions are included in the price. I know there will be some special add ons but I want to make sure. Some companies have a price close your yours but you have to pay extra for activities every single day.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2026

      All of the key highlights and included activities listed in the itinerary are covered in the tour price, so you won't be expected to pay extra for excursions every day.

      There are a few optional activities available if you'd like to add to your experience, but these are entirely optional. The tour is designed so you'll still enjoy a full experience without feeling pressured to spend more.

    Michelle

    Asked on May 5th, 2026

    Do you not supply breakfast in your hotels? Only one lunch included?

    Meals
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written May 2026

      The tour does not offer breakfasts at the hotels for many reasons. Many do not offer a breakfast in their night stays or offer a buffet breakfast included. If there is that you wish to have breakfast at the hotels, we recommend arranging this when checking in.

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2026

      Kindly note that this trip cannot be modified, as it is a standard group tour and not a custom private trip. It would need to be booked as it is. Alternatively, we can explore a custom private trip, but please note that these are typically more expensive than group tours.
