  A great way to get a taste of Pura Vida! Our entire group became friends, and none of us were ready to go home. Our guide, Yoza, was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone considering visiting Costa Rica.

  Great trip and great tour guide (Tete) as well! Had a blast with meeting new people and the highlight for me was doing the repelling down the waterfalls. Would definitely recommend this tour if you're looking to see more of the local side of Costa Rica vs the super touristy side of it.

  Overall a great trip and good value for money. The optional activities were fantastic, especially the jungle hikes and adventures. It would have been nice to actually go into Manuel Antonio National park though. Absolutely no issues with transportation and all the meals were AMAZING. The accommodation was pretty average but clean and in a good location. In the end I would recommend doing this tour as an intro and then extending your trip to see other parts of Costa Rica.

  We really liked the tour, Emily was awesome. Reading the itinerary sounded like you were able to more then what you actually do. But I still would recommend it!! Pura vida

  My husband and I were looking for an adventurous tropical trip out of the country without the headache of planning and this was exactly what we wanted!! We did all of the optional activities and loved every one of them. It was so great having all the transportation and lodging arranged so that we didn't have to worry about a thing but were able to pack A LOT into one week. We flew from WI which was a 5.5 hour flight. We decided to arrive a day early in order to be rested and showered before our first day with the group and I'm so glad we did. Our guides Emily and Angelo were so friendly and welcoming. It really felt like they were just along on the trip with us. Highly recommend this trip - it was everything we were hoping for and more!

  This trip was hands down the best experience. The rooms were clean. Food was amazing. I recommend not opting out of any activities.it was affordable and was worth every penny. Jurgen was the most fun, energetic, friendly guide you could have asked for. Overall a trip of a lifetime. So much adventure with the right amount of leisure.

  Went on the Stater Costa Rica trip this time last year. I had never traveled solo, I had never been to Central America, and I had really no idea what to expect. This trip blew any expectations I had out of the water. Prior to the trip you get invited to a private facebook group with other members going on your same trip, this helped to ease nervousness I had about meeting a dozen or so new people. Jonno and Jurgen were phenomenal guides. They made sure that any question I - or anyone else on the trip had - was answered. They immediately felt like life long friends I had not seen in a while, rather than two tour guides I just met. When booking the trip I was curious why it was hard to find a set day-by-day itinerary for the trip, and that turned out to be because, there isn't one. Once on the trip it is highly customizable for what you do day-by-day and night-by-night contingent upon what the group - or a portion of the group want to do. The starter Costa Rica managed to combine the perfect ratio of relaxation and adventure in a vacation I was looking for. While on this trip we were offered the option of taking a yoga class with Luz at her and Matt's (the co-founder of U30x) home. They were beautiful, warm, inviting people who were genuinely interested in getting to know everyone they encountered. Once you return home from your trip there are lots of resources provided by U30x such as facebook groups and local U30x communities there to keep the adventure rolling and keep you engaged. This isn't just a tour company, but a company with a culture dedicated to connecting with its patrons and making them feel included and involved - both in "far away lands", and again once they return home. And that more than the trip itself is what will have me continue booking U30x trips.
