diving costa rica
If you decide to travel with a small group you will almost certainly find that you pack a lot into your days.
If you want to see and do the most possible things in the least possible time, then an organized tour may be your best bet. Just remember when you are scanning that impressive list of activities on the tour brochure that you will be locked into a pretty tight schedule.
Assuming that you make the effort (and shell out the cash) to choose a high quality tour, you will have round the clock access to someone who knows a great deal about the local environment, customs and infrastructure.
Guides and tours will almost never take you anywhere that people don't routinely go on their own, however a guide will spot wildlife and describe ecological phenomenon that most novices would simply pass by.
The Somebody Else's Problem principle is a great one to have working for you when you are traveling. If for example, the hotel you are supposed to stay in on Friday, washes into the ocean on Thursday, if you are on a tour, it's somebody else's problem.
A high quality tour operator will pay big bucks for someone to get to the location ahead of your small group, stay up all night making last minute reservations at an even nicer hotel, rearranging transportation and meals and making sure that the travelers never even know there was a glitch.
The cost of an organized tour can be either an advantage or disadvantage. Rental cars are very expensive in Costa Rica (4WD is recommended by almost everyone and costs upwards), guides are not cheap and you might have to rent a boat or charter a plane to get some places on your own.
So, if you are traveling alone or as a couple, it might end up being cheaper to join a group and spread the cost. However, if you are willing to ride local buses, fly on scheduled domestic flights, walk, ride a horse, ride a bike, or if you are traveling with four or more people, then a tour will almost certainly be much more expensive.
