    Asked on December 18th, 2025

    Would Arrival and Departure Transportation can be managed as part of our tour?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2025

      Depending on the tour selected, an airport arrival transfer may or may not be included in the tour fee. For a Family travel style, it would be, but for the majority of our tours, the service is not included but could be pre-booked through us for an additional fee. A departure transfer is rarely included, however, it could be pre-booked through us.

    • S

      Stephanie

      Traveler•Written December 2025

      Could you please confirm whether the arrival transfer, kayaking, and all other listed services and activities will indeed be honored if we book your tour?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2025

      The arrival transfer is included if you arrive on Day 1 of the tour (or if you arrive earlier and are staying at the same joining hotel - Radisson San Jose). Anything listed in the full itinerary that indicates 'optional activities' would be an additional cost.

    Asked on November 29th, 2025

    A member of our party has a food allergy (celiac - allergic to gluten). Is this tour able to accommodate such food allergies with the tour-provided meals (mainly breakfasts)? For the meals not provided by the tour itself (most lunches and dinners) -- will the tour guide be able to suggest nearby places to eat that are safe (given the food allergy previously noted)?

    Meals
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025

      We can definitely accommodate that! When you make the booking please be sure to let us know so we can note it, and the guide will ensure there are options!
