I was planning for myself and my 2 daughters aged 16 and 17. Wondering if we would be in the same room or different rooms? Also, is it possible to also arrange flights?

You and your two daughters would generally share a triple room. If this is unavailable at a particular hotel, you may be accommodated in adjoining or nearby rooms. Regarding flights, TourRadar will be able to assist you directly.

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

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.

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)?

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!

Is there room on this tour for June 22-30 for one grandma and one child, age 10?

Yes we currently have 5 spots left on that tour

Can you customize the last day of the tour so I can fly back to USA on Sunday mar 23 rd in time for my child's school day?

You are more than welcome to sign off on day 8 of the tour, once the group gets back to San Jose and fly out that day. We can confirm the estimated arrival into San Jose on day 8 and let you know if you wish to look at flights.

What is the room accommodation arrangement for families?

Families can request specific room accommodations, such as triple rooms, to suit their needs.

What are the group size limitations for the tour?

Group sizes vary per tour to enhance the experience. Specific details can be provided upon inquiry.

Is travel insurance mandatory for this tour?

Travel insurance is mandatory for participation in our tours. Ensure your policy covers all necessary aspects.

How can I manage payments for my tour?

You can make payments for your tour using the secure ‘book now’ button on our website, ensuring your spot is reserved.

Are there any specific physical requirements for tour activities?

Certain activities may have physical requirements, such as minimum height and weight. This is for the safety of all our participants.

Our first adventure trip with G Adventures is definitely a blast. We went to Costa Rica in December 2015 for 9 days, in a group of ~20 including 4 families. Our tour guide Jeff Young is outgoing, caring, knowledgeable about local activities and food options, and above all genuinely enthusiastic about his work. We had tons of fun visiting waterfalls, soaking in hot spring pools, kayaking in Lake Arenal surrounded by lush forest, walking in a cloud forest, learning about coffee/chocolate/sugar production in a local farm, sailing on a catamaran in Manuel Antonio national park, and more. Having a Spanish-speaking guide who arranged the many activities and various transport/lodging logistics is indispensable for a packed but exciting vacation. Having flexible time at each destination allowed families in the same group to choose whatever they liked best. Group dinners together are good (and budget friendly). Overall we would highly recommend this tour to families and friends.Show more

  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.
