- Marc· June 16th, 2025I went on a self-driving tour with Destination Services Costa Rica, and it exceeded all my expectations. The operator was super responsive and provided amazing support. The local operator did a phenomenal job of putting together a custom package for me. Their know-how and guidance made it possible for me to explore parts of the country I never would have discovered on my own. Every recommendation was just spot-on, especially the hand-picked accommodation - the Drake Bay Wilderness Resort - a truly amazing resort right by the beach, great staff, delicious food, and a national park right in front of your doorstep. The absolute highlight of the trip was visiting Corcovado National Park. I was lucky enough to spot all four monkey species, a Tapir, Toucans and even a Puma. Because it was the rainy season, the tours were uncrowded, which made for an incredibly intimate and personal experience. Thank you, Destination Services, for an incredible adventure.Show more
- Cindy· June 2nd, 2025Overall the package was great and despite some constructive feedback, I do rate it as excellent/5 stars. - Package included breakfast and a few additional meals, but be aware that Costa Rica is pricey. You can find good deals/meals, but be ready. - Each day included a tour/activity, but found there was a decent amount of downtime that could be filled up with other activities, which again can be fairly pricey and it will add up quickly. - I wish I could have had an extra night in both Manuel Antonio and Monteverde. You lose some mornings due to travel and these towns deserve more time. La Fortuna and Tortuguero having 2 days was perfect. - All hotels were great, but with La Fortuna, it was located fairly far from the towns center and wish I had something closer. - All drivers, tour guides and hotel staff were incredibly kind. Tour guides were amazing at providing recos for both the town you were in and for spots in your next tour stop. All in all, got to see a good amount and left wanting to see more. Costa Rica is beautifulShow more
- LUCILLE· June 2nd, 2025Everything went as planned. The hotels and facilities were great. We even had upgrades at two of our locations, We had a great time. However... If there was a criticism it would be the Guided Hanging Bridges at Selvatura Park. The title infers that there would be a guide-there was none. The other critique, more importantly is the allotted time. By the time we arrived at the park after picking others up we were told that we had until 4:30. We were about 3/5 of the way through the park when we simply had to abandon looking at the wonder around us and walk as fast as possible-up and down inclines, stairs and of course battling heat and humidity. We were very fortunate that two groups who passed us up-informed the driver that we were hustling to get to the exit as fast possible. We were about 10 minutes late. It was stressful not knowing if there would be return transfer or not, since we were emphatically told at the entrance if we expected to be transported back to our hotel we had to be out by 4:30. We were grateful to our driver and the other guests who were patient and kind enough to wait for us. I would strongly suggest that pick up time and arrival at the park be a earlier so that all guests can make it out on time.Show more

Asked on March 6th, 2025I'm looking at organising a school trip to Costa Rica. 9-10 year olds for a week. Do you have anything you can offer?
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written March 2025
Based on the children ages, the Pacuare Rafting is not able for them, however, we can totally find the best option for them. Could you please let us know the exact dates you are planning to organize the trip? Also, any specific preferences about how to share the rooms?

Asked on December 13th, 2023Is there an option to extend this with a stay at a hotel beach?
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written December 2023
Yes, we can add a couple of nights in Manuel Antonio
- R
Robin
Traveler•Written December 2023Please can I ask for the Multisport Through Volcanoes & Rivers option is there a way to just change the last transfer to Manuel Antonio instead of San Jose so we could extend our stay there? If this is an additional cost, please can you advise how much this would be? Similarly, if we went with the other option you've shared and add an extended stay in Manuel Antonio (so book our own hotel for additional nights) could we still pick up a later transfer back to San Jose on a later date (likely 4 days after)?
- Destination Services Costa RicaOperator•Written December 2023
Yes, we can coordinate the last transfer according to the departure flight information
