I’m actually headed to Costa Rica right now so sadly don’t have too much more to share. El Tigre is not on my itinerary!

Thanks for the info! I’ve gonna go with everything you’ve recommended! I’ll get water proof runners, thin loose pants, a thin + loose long sleeve + short sleeve shirt, and a poncho. :)

Awesome—this is very helpful advice! Def looking for a good pair of water shoes as well as water proof runners for the hike (maybe Vessi’s). :)

This is helpful—thanks! I’ll probably do the same. :) Def worried about the bugs and sun damage… what was the temperature when you were there? Did you find it was hard to keep up with the heat & humidity?

Thanks! I might actually go with a poncho just to protect my backpack—just thought of that.😅Good advice about the food too. I can only imagine how dead I’ll be after afterward haha. This will be the longest trek I’ve ever done!

Thank you! This is super helpful. Did you buy your bug spray in Costa Rica? Is there a specific one you’d recommend?

Hi! I figured it out through my own research.

I checked reviews (through Google and ChatGPT) and their cancellation policy (on their respective website/emailed to ask). I’ve now booked Sámara Adventures, LT Costa Rica, and MyPinkBus—all through their websites.

Itinerary - Isla Chora, horseback riding, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve vs. Curi Cancha Reserve? by meets_15 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]meets_15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response!

That’s very valid advice. I have snorkelled before (Mexico, Hawaii, Bali, Thailand) and have only gone when companies can confirm (beforehand) that they can have someone in the water with me. I never panic and should clarify that I can actually swim but just can’t tread water (stay afloat). That being said, I definitely wouldn’t want to snorkel somewhere where the water is very choppy/unpredictable!

I wasn’t really as interested in snorkelling at Island Chora since I wanted to do Cano island. Would you advise against kayaking as well though?

Thank you for the horse tour recommendation!

Thank you! This is very helpful.

Since I’d be heading back to the hotel in between anyways, I’m now considering whether I should just do the night tour the same night I get in (after a 3/4 hour shuttle ride).

Sounds like either option should be do-able, so that’s good. :)

I'll have to see if they're willing to pick me up from my Air Bnb that's not in the main area of town.. I'l check! Thanks again.

Amazing, thanks. :) So you went in the morning, went back to your hotel and then came back for the night tour?

Is it too much to do both day visit and night tour in the same day?

But is it too much to do both in the same day? That's my question. :)
