"We stayed 2 nights, one before an early morning departure to Turtuguero and then a few days later before an early morning departure to the airport. The hotel booked the Tortuguero trip for us, as well as took us to the airport when we left."

Since you typically spend two or three nights at Adventure Inn during your vacation, we don't add any additional price on top of what you would pay if you booked everything yourself directly with the tour companies and hotels. Most companies also give us a small commission for each booking, which gets shared among all of our staff members. This allows us to offer you direct booking rates while maintaining our service.
Our packages work for solo travelers, couples, families, and groups up to 12 people. Larger groups get custom pricing and may have additional tour options available.
Costa Rica is great year-round! Dry season (December-April) has less rain but more crowds. Green season (May-November) offers lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and better prices.
