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.
