Frequently Asked Questions

Are flights included in the all-inclusive Costa Rica adventure packages?

International flights are not included — packages cover everything once you land in Costa Rica (SJO or LIR). We're happy to recommend trusted flight options and coordinate airport pickup as part of your itinerary.

December through April (dry season) offers the best conditions for most outdoor activities. May–November (green season) brings lush landscapes and fewer crowds — many of our tours run year-round with minor adjustments.

It varies by package. The Tapir Trail and Corcovado treks are moderate-to-high intensity. Others, like wildlife safaris or hot springs visits, suit most fitness levels. Each package listing includes an activity level indicator to help you choose.
