✔️ Staying within designated paths or areas.
✔️ Listening to guides and following local regulations.

Failure to comply with safety rules may result in being excluded from the activity without a refund.

Costa Rica’s weather can be unpredictable, especially in rainforest and coastal regions. Always bring rain gear, extra clothing and sun protection to stay comfortable in all conditions.

7. Arrive on Time and Be Ready for Pick-Up

If your tour includes hotel pick-up, make sure you are ready at the scheduled time. Late arrivals may cause delays or result in missing the tour without a refund.

Some tours may require you to bring:

✔️ Valid ID or passport (for certain national park entries or border-crossing tours).
✔️ Certification cards (for diving excursions if you are already a certified diver).
✔️ Cash or credit card for tips, souvenirs, or additional expenses.

9. Respect Local Culture and Environment

We encourage responsible tourism and ask all guests to respect the local communities, traditions, and nature. Avoid littering, minimize plastic use, and follow Leave No Trace principles when exploring protected areas.
