Reserve your spot through our website, which links you to our WeTravel registration platform. We require a 50% deposit with full payment due 180 days prior to the departure date. We welcome payments via credit card or debit with a flexible payment schedule.

Please keep your WeTravel reservation confirmation email to access your individual account information any time through the ‘Manage Your Booking’ button at the bottom. Everything regarding your trip – guest survey, waiver forms, visa/passport uploads, planning guide, etc. – lives here.

If you have ANY questions, we'd love to talk with you! Reach out any time through our Contact page.

A 50% deposit is due at registration, and balances are due 180 days before departure. If a cancellation is made prior to 180 days before the trip date, the entire deposit will be refunded no less than a $500 per person service charge. Cancellations that are less than 179 days prior to the departure date will be charged in full. Payment plans are available upon request.

Itineraries are subject to change depending on weather, availability of activities, unforeseen circumstances, emergencies, etc. It is highly unlikely that we will cancel a trip, but we do reserve the right to cancel due to weather, natural disasters, emergencies or a lack of sufficient reservations. If we cancel a trip, a full refund of the trip deposit and any final payment will be given.

Notification of cancellation must be received in writing via email to info@honestheartjourneys.com.

HHJ requires that you obtain travel insurance in case of unexpected medical circumstances. We also highly recommend you obtain cancellation insurance.

We want you to make a decision that meets your needs. If you don’t already have your own insurance source, you can now book insurance directly on WeTravel registration platform.

Once your registration is complete and your trip is paid in full, you’ll receive a detailed Planning Guide designed to support your preparation. This includes:

• A complete day-by-day itinerary

• A curated packing list tailored to your destination

• Hotel and lodging information

• Important travel tips and logistics

• An introduction to our selected trip book and related resources

• Additional materials to help you feel confident and prepared

At this time, we’ll also collect your emergency contact details, travel insurance information, and require signed release forms to ensure your safety and the smooth coordination of our journey together.

Getting to Costa Rica:
Fly in and out of SJO – Juan Santamaría International Airport (not SJC in San Jose, California).

Plan to arrive at least 3 hours before your departure. Your hotel offers airport shuttle service for convenience.

We intentionally create spaces that support presence, connection, and authentic joy. For this reason, alcohol is not served during group gatherings, though guests are welcome to purchase alcoholic beverages independently if they choose.

To support the safety and well-being of all participants, we ask that recreational drugs or mind-altering substances—including microdosing—are not used during our trips or group experiences. This helps us maintain a safe, grounded, and supportive environment for everyone.

United States citizens do not need a visa for tourism, typically for stays up to 90 or 180 days. Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay, with at least six months’ validity recommended beyond your arrival. A round-trip or onward ticket is required.

Please check your passport well in advance of your departure date and make sure that it is valid. Your passport must be: 

• Issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the 'date of issue') 

• Valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the expiration date).
