      From the customs checkpoint please continue to the airport exit doors and outside there will be a National Geographic Journeys representative waiting there with a National Geographic Journeys sign. In case you don't see the sign, don't panic, continue walking to the Malinche Restaurant.

    Asked on September 7th, 2025

    Would leaving the tour early and arranging alternative transport to the airport be a possibility? We would not then need the hotel for the final night.

    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      Please note that if you leave the tour early, you will be on your own in regards to arranging an earlier private transport back to San Jose from Manuel Antonio to make sure you are on time for your flight, the CEO can try and help with this while on tour, however, you will need to pay for it (no information on cost as this is not a service we book). Note that there is no refund for unused services, since this is sold as a package.

    Asked on July 22nd, 2025

    How much do I need to pay extra on top to the 2.729€ if I need to stay in a single room/my own room? And how much do I need to pay extra, if the plane starts on the airport in Munich. Will there be a direct flight from Frankfurt starting?

    Single supplement
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025

      The cost of 'My Own Room' is 1549.00 EUR but this has sold out on this departure, which means we would need to request more with our local office. Unfortunately flights would be booked separately by yourself as we are unable to book these for you. You would need to fly in and out of San Jose Airport (SJO).
