I am thinking of booking the Costa Rica trip and note that 3 of the optional excursions can be pre-booked as a package for £110.

Please can you give me some information in respect of approx prices of the other excursions that are deemed optional, e,g, evening forest walk, canopy tour, horse drawn carriage ride and dinner, etc.

Thanks

Janet
