Show moreTrip date: January 2025 - ACatherine· July 26th, 2023I would 100% recommend this tour - a wonderful way to explore Costa Rica. Our guide was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the country and wildlife. The hotels all had amazing views from the balcony, there was a good mix of included and optional activities, the food was really tasty, and we had a really nice group of 8. Everything is well organised and explained clearly along the way - I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the wildlife and different regions of Costa Rica - you'll learn and see a lot :)Show moreIntrepid Premium commented on this reviewWe are so pleased to read that you would recommend this tour to others.

- AJanet· July 17th, 2023As first time Intrepid travellers we weren’t sure how we would like the small group tour. We were so happy we decided to try it. Costa Rica is a beautiful country with unbelievable scenery and lovely people. But what really made this trip special was our tour guide. His passion and knowledge of not only the flora and fauna but the history of his country was so incredibly rich. I came away with such a great appreciation for what this small country has achieved. He made sure all of our fellow travellers felt comfortable and I think since we were all like minded we had a great time together. The excursions were fun and again educational. The accommodations were in beautiful settings. What’s not to love? Pack your bags and enjoy!Show moreIntrepid Premium commented on this reviewHi there, thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us as first-time Intrepid traveler.

Asked on December 16th, 2022How big is the tour group on the Premium Costa Rica tour? And what type of transportation is used to go between locations?
- Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written December 2022
The group has a max size of 12 passengers. This trip includes time spent travelling in a private vehicle (think mini coach bus) with your group. It's all part of the adventure and a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. You will make stops at interesting locations to break up the longer drives. There are only 4 spaces left for our January 7, 2023 departure on a request basis only.
