Traveler•Written August 2025Is this trip fully guided or are there moments where we are left to explore. This is my first solo trip. I just want to ensure my safety while also not missing out on too much.
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written August 2025
You'll have a Group Leader with you throughout the trip, but the itinerary is perfectly paced to give you enough free-time to relax and chill out with your new travel buddies too! Lot's of our Group members are travelling solo for the first time on our tours, so you'll all be in the same boat and safety is our top priority for all of our trips.

Nadia
Traveler•Written August 2025Are we connected to our group a few weeks before the trip to become acquainted? If so, how do I do so? I believe it was through and app if I'm not mistaken.
- INTRO TravelOperator•Written August 2025
You won't need any special equipment beyond regular travel essentials, but here are a few recommendations: Lightweight hiking shoes or trainers with good grip, Day pack for walks and excursions, Swimwear, towel, and flip flops, Quick-dry clothing and breathable fabrics, Sunscreen, bug spray, and a reusable water bottle, Rain jacket or poncho (just in case). To connect with others before your trip, you can join our Facebook group for Costa Rica. Then once your trip begins, your Group Leader will create a WhatsApp group chat for everyone in your group.
