    · January 12th, 2022
    Oldemar was extremely responsive and able to plan our trip for us at the last minute. I highly recommend this tour as it is one of the few that takes you to Corcovado National Park in the south. Our 3 days in that region were our absolute favorite!

    Overall really good experience in wild nature and efficient support/transportation by staff. Especially Oldemar helped me to resolve problems and questions very quickly and kindly, it was very impressive support. If I have to mention something to improve, since most of daily schedule finished at early time in the afternoon, for active person like me, it was sometimes not enough. Actually, I added 7 local tours during this tour.

    I will be sending a detailed assessment to Destiny Travel in the near future. Overall excellent, with superior interaction with Destiny's staff during the course of our trip. All stays were interesting, we are considering a future variation on this tour, but well worth taking and enjoying this package.

      Donald

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      How are the roads on this journey? Are they all paved? & also, I see a different price on this website and trip adviser, are they the same?

    • Destiny Travel Costa Rica OperatorWritten January 2024

      the roads on this journey are all paved. This program has the same price in other websites. If you see a difference, for sure it is because something is not included. This one is complete in every sense. Example, not all fly and drive tours include full cover insurance or second drive for free or some park tickets.

      Donald

      TravelerWritten January 2024

      The flight home will be leaving San Jose early so we would need to be back in the area the night before. Would this change the cost as we wont be having breakfast? & also is there a sat nav in the 4x4?

    • Destiny Travel Costa Rica OperatorWritten January 2024

      We just switch the night on the beach for the night in San Jose for the last night near airport. As for breakfast we can give you a credit for that in the final price. As for the Sat Nav in the 4x4, the car rental company provides that service for an extra charge of $8 USD per day approx.

    Asked on February 25th, 2023

    We are interested in doing this tour, starting 13 March 2023, or around that date. Can you please confirm availability, and that we would definitely have a place if we book online (2 people)? Also, approx. how many people would be on this tour?

    Price / Availability
    • Destiny Travel Costa Rica OperatorWritten February 2023

      Currently there is space available for the dates of your interest. This tour departs daily and due that this program is with car rental, there would be only you 2 if noone one else sing up for the same dates.
