If you’d prefer your own space, you can absolutely book a private room for an additional cost, depending on availability. Feel free to reach out before booking or note your preference when you sign up, and we’ll walk you through the options.

 Costa Rica’s weather is warm and tropical, with a mix of sunshine, humidity, and occasional rain—especially in the rainforest regions like La Fortuna. You can expect warm days and slightly cooler mornings and evenings, especially in La Fortuna.

Pack light, breathable clothing, a light rain jacket, comfortable hiking shoes, and activewear for adventure days. You’ll also want swimwear for hot springs and beach time, and a light layer for early mornings or evenings. The key is to be prepared for both sun and quick tropical showers!

I will be emailing you a Pre-Trip packet (which includes a full packing list) prior to the trip, so you don't have to wonder what to pack.

Registration will close 90 days before the trip, however these trips typically fill up fast. Please note that I only have 14 spots available.

If you are interested in going, I encourage you to sign up as soon as possible versus later. 

I require an initial deposit of $500 per person to hold your spot and then I offer payment plan options of either 2 payments of $1250 or 4 payments of $625 per person.

Your deposit is fully refundable for the first 30 days after booking. After that, if your plans change and you need to cancel, I will do my best to resell your spot. If I’m able to fill your space, you’ll receive a refund of your payments minus the deposit. While I’ve had a high success rate in reselling spots, it cannot be guaranteed.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included throughout the duration of the trip, except for lunch on Day 5 and 6 since there is free time in the afternoon those days.

We also have a budget for lunches ($15 USD per person) and for dinners ($25 USD per person). If you want to order more, you can certainly do that and then reimburse me the difference at the end of the trip.

Also, alcoholic beverages (or any specialty drinks) are not included in the trip fee. You will simply keep a tab and then at the end of the trip, you can pay me via Venmo or PayPal.

Your trip fee covers ALL accommodations in Costa Rica (private villas), ground transportation, guides, all meals, excursions, park entrance fees, mindfulness practices, and a gallery of professional photos.

International flights to and from Costa Rica are not covered in your trip fee. In addition, tips for guides and drivers, two lunches (on Day 5 an 6), alcoholic beverages, snacks, travel fees and incidentals are not included in your trip fee.

Lastly, additional surf lessons (on Day 7), the sound bath + meditation experience and the beach sunrise yoga session are optional and additional fees.

It is also required that ALL trip participants get travel medical insurance before the trip. This is very inexpensive (usually less than $100). Keep in mind that trip insurance is not included, but highly recommended.

You will receive an email confirmation after registering for the trip with more information on travel medical insurance.

You need to arrive in San Jose International Airport (SJO) no later than 12PM (local time) on January 22nd. For departures, you need to arrange your flight to leave San Jose after 33PM on Jan 29th.

Please keep in mind that if you arrive before Jan 22nd, you will need to arrange your own hotel and transportation. Ideally you will want to book a hotel near the airport.

We will eat a variety of different types of food including local cuisine, along with Western, Italian and Mexican.

If you have food allergies, we always accommodate you food needs and preferences. You will receive a survey prior to the trip for this reason, so we can plan our meals at restaurants that accommodate different food allergies and preferences (such as gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free).

Yes. If there are any activities you don't want to participate in (including the mindfulness practices), that is totally fine! This is your trip, after all! :)

In addition, if you just need a day of total rest and relaxation, you are free to skip out on the day's activities if you wish.

You’ll have 30 days after registration to cancel and receive a full refund of your deposit. After that period, all payments become non-refundable. That said, if you need to cancel, I’ll do my best to resell your spot and if I am successful, you will get all of your payments refunded, minus your deposit.

While I often have a waitlist and can usually find someone to take your place, this cannot be guaranteed. If I’m unable to fill your spot—and you’re unable to find a replacement—unfortunately, no refund will be issued.

This is why I strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance. If unexpected circumstances arise and you need to cancel, your policy can help reimburse you for your trip costs.
