    My time in Costa Rica was fantastic, from start to finish it was filled with thrilling activities, gorgeous wildlife and a wonderful group to share it with. Cesar our guide was knowledgeable and highly organised. I recommend this trip to anyone considering, if you're unsure, just book it, you wont regret it! I've got memories that will last me a lifetime. One thing that does need improving is the service pre-departure though. I couldn't login to my G Adventures account or app a couple of weeks before travel. I spoke to representatives on live chat multiple times, and no one was able to fix it, I was just told to keep waiting. They assured me that I didn't need anything on there, but on arrival in San Jose the bus driver needed to know what hotel I was going to, and because I couldn't access the app, I had no idea. This made the start of the trip considerably more stressful than it needed to be, and its still not resolved. I also missed out on the pre-trip group chat. So G Adventures- please fix this now, this is currently the only thing hampering my experience.

    The tour and the tour leader were excellent. We managed to see so much of Costa Rica and it's animals. Obtaining vegetarian food was harder than expected. If the meal contains ham or chicken stock, it is labelled as vegetarian. The additional activities were expensive but seemed standard for Costa Rica. However, a wonderful experience.

      Veronica

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      I'm now looking at booking the Sept. 6 departure, which currently isn't on-sale. I saw there is a spot on the booking page to indicate I'm a returning customer. Will the 5% discount be applied to the balance remaining after initial booking? I plan on paying the deposit first, then balance when due in July.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2025

      Yes we could apply your 5% evaluation discount to the September 6th date as it is not already on sale! It will be applied after the booking is made in our system so just make sure to check you are a return traveller and we will apply the discount!
