    Is the age limit of 35 years set in stone? I am much older but am just wondering. I am fit.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      Yes, our age ranges are set in stone, these tours are aimed at first time travellers, who are looking to stay in dorm rooms where they can make friends around their own age, but we do have plenty of other tours to Costa Rica which are available to all ages.

    Timothy

    Asked on December 30th, 2024

    Is transportation to and from the airport included? If not, I noticed the tour ends in Playa Tamarindo but the airport I'd have to fly out of is in Liberia. How would you recommend getting back to the airport?

    Flights / Transfers
    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten December 2024

      It is highly recommended to take a flight that arrives at Liberia (LIR) Airport instead of SJO Airport. Once you arrive at Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR Airport) you will need to take a taxi to get to the hotel, which is around 15 minutes drive. So that will be both ways that you can take a taxi since we do not offer the transfer services.
