Tour Tips
Meals
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. The above information applies to G Adventures group trips. Please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Optional Activities
Monteverde - Hanging Bridges Monteverde (35USD per person) - Santa Elena Cloud Forest Visit (25-50USD per person) - Ziplining (50USD per person) - El Trapiche Tour Monteverde (33USD per person) - Monteverde Horseback Riding (50USD per person) - Monteverde Coffee Plantation Tour (40USD per person) La Fortuna - Costa Rica Adrenaline Bundle - La Fortuna Waterfall Swim (20USD per person) - Kayak Lake Arenal (65USD per person) Arenal - Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge Tour (60USD per person) - Stand Up Paddle (Lesson and Tour) (65USD per person) - Gravity Falls Waterfall Jumping (125USD per person) - Lost Canyon Adventures Canyoning (90USD per person) - Los Lagos Hot Springs (41USD per person) Puerto Viejo de Talamanca - Snorkelling - Finca la Isla Botanical Garden Visit - Gandoca Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge Hike - Kayak in Puerto Viejo (60USD per person) - Bike Rental
What to Take
We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. A daypack is also essential for carrying everyday items. Space is limited on transportation, so there is a limit of one main piece of luggage per person. You will be responsible for carrying and handling your own luggage.
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders, a G Adventures representative, or an expedition team. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
