Guide

Our tour guides/drivers are licensed, speak English and know how to bring excitement to your day. What we deliver is the complete opposite of the cookie-cutting tours the big corporations offer, leaving you in complete boredom. Although our tour guides/drivers are attentive, accommodating and engaged, they also know when to give you your private space and free time. Itโ€™s a perfect balance. *Female guides are available upon request. Note that although virtually all activities on this multi-day tour are shared with other travelers, we can make the trip almost completely private, per your request, at an additional cost.

Accommodation

Below are the names of the hotels where we commonly have our customers stay. Note this is subject to availability. Nights 1-2: Tamarindo, Preferred Accommodation: Tamarindo Bay Boutique Hotel or Tamarindo Diria Night 3: Monteverde, Preferred Accommodation: Hotel Poco A Poco Nights 4-6: La Fortuna, Preferred Accommodation: Arenal Springs Resort or Mountain Paradise Hotel Nights 7-8: Manuel Antonio, Preferred Accommodation: Hotel San Bada or La Vela Boutique Hotel Nights 9-10: San Jose, Preferred Accommodation: Hotel Presidente This tour includes lodging for 1 night, specifically in San Jose. However, upon request, we can book accommodation for you for all nights at establishments that meet your needs. For years, we automatically included 5-star hotels in our travel packages. In the interest of our customers, we ultimately decided to reduce the price of our tours and encourage specifically those with higher expectations to simply request room upgrades. Why? Some of our customers want simple and clean but ultimately cheap rooms. Some of our customers want 4-star hotels and are willing to pay more. Others want nothing short of 5-star extravagance. There isnโ€™t a way to uphold ONE standard for hotels in our travel packages considering everyone has a different budget. What we CAN uphold are the standard and quality of our tours, all of which offer nothing short of a first-class experience. Again, upon request, we can upgrade your room type for the night included as well as book lodging for all nights on this tour. Let us know and we will provide you with pricing options.

Insurance

All participants are required to book travel insurance within 72 hours of booking this tour. At a minimum, such insurance must cover cancellations, medical expenses, evacuations, flight loss or delays and 24/7 assistance.

Flights

Although airfare is not included in the price, we will find you the exact flights you need. Just ask. If you cannot fly directly to Liberiaโ€™s Daniel Oduber Quirรณs International Airport, then you will need to take a connecting flight from San Jose or we will need to transfer you by land from the capital to Tamarindo.
