All three tours include pick up and drop off right at the San Jose International Airport (SJO) and all transfers by shuttle bus, Jeeps, river boats and lake boats in between.
All three tours leave the Adventure Inn front door every day of the year.
All three tours can be done forward or backwards, or if you want, we can customize a similar tour to meet your specific needs.
All three tours are structured but give you some freedom and relaxation time to stop and smell the flowers (literally!). Your party will probably be the only one following your specific tour itinerary, great for singles wanting to create and discover their own adventure, wonderfully romantic for couples, and just a lot of fun for mature families and groups.
Every morning on your tour you are served a full American/Tico breakfast. Plus we include some special lunches and dinners, but also allow you to pick your own places to dine in locations where it is convenient.
These tours must be paid in advance. We will send you a form to sign and fax back. No refunds with less than 72 hours, $100 service charge per person if canceled with more than 72 hours notice.
