Reviews of Central America Family Tours
- Family Costa Rica Rainforest and Wildlife Adventure
All good, everyone had a great time and the whole package was great. One minor comment, and perhaps this is actually about CR itself, but none of the places we ate at seemed to do much in the way of kids portions. So, we seemed to waste a lot of food!
- Costa Rica Family Experience
Great experience! Packed a lot in.
- Costa Rica – Family Volunteer Adventure
This trip was Very Fine. The guide and driver were both excellent. All relaxing 'tour' days were very interesting (I got some great photos). The community volunteer activities were excellent and great learning experiences. The highlight for me was the elementary school visit (I'm a past Peace Corps English Teacher). We were very well received there even though it was a holiday time and they presented and excellent dance.

From coast to coast Central America delivers experiences that appeal to all ages. Families can walk through misty trails of Monteverde Cloud Forest with expert guides pointing out sleepy sloths and curious monkeys. The waterways of Tortuguero offer close encounters with colorful birds and sunbathing reptiles while the warm pools near Arenal Volcano provide a natural swimming experience. Manuel Antonio National Park combines educational nature walks with relaxed beach time. At places like Turtle Beach Lodge visitors regularly spot diverse wildlife right from their rooms.
