Is this a Private Tour or a Group Tour?

All of our tours are tailor made itineraries, customised for you - we can amend things to entirely suit you.

In Costa Rica transfers between destinations are mostly done by shared shuttle and most of the excursions are on a shared basis in a small group.

We can include private transfers and tours if you prefer - just let us know. Generally this will add quite significantly to the cost.

What are the departure dates?

Let us know your preferred dates of travel and we will find the best and most suitable flights to fit your itinerary.

As this is a private tour, there are no set departure dates.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to this part of the world.

Typically for Costa Rica, British Airways, KLM, American Airlines, United or Delta are among the airlines we use.

However, just let us know your preferred airline if you have one. We can organise flights from any regional destination in the UK.

British Airways fly directly to San Jose from the UK.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of hotels, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller hotels where we think these will be suitable.

Our local partner in Costa Rica keeps us very updated with any hotel developments.
