honeymoon/vacation question

its been 6 months of waiting but on Monday DH and i leave for our honeymoon


we are going to Costa Rica for 2 weeks and have a ton of stuff already planned and paid for. I am wondering, when you ladies vacation do you tip your tour guides and if so, how much would you tip as a couple? Some activities we are doing are:
white water rafting
waterfall rappelling
zip lining
horse back riding

Re: honeymoon/vacation question

Yes, we always tip...
It depens...
Every thip is different...
If it was an awesome trip and the tour guide was very helpful n friendly, he gets a good tip... if not then they get $5...

Re: honeymoon/vacation question

We tipped some and not others. It all depends on how long some of the trips are, if they were good. We tipped from 0-$30 per guide. We didn't tip because it was necessary, we tipped because we felt they actually did a good job.

That's so exciting, you are going to have so much fun!! We always tip, the amount ranges based on how friendly they are and how much they actually do, I'd say anything from $5-$20.

Re: honeymoon/vacation question

oh i love CR! We did all of those when I went w/ my friends! the rapelling is such a thrill and the rafting is actually good rapids! as far as tipping, yes we tip and it varies from $5-20 depending on how long the excursion is and how good/friendly the guide is. have a great time!
