- Ronda· August 18th, 2025What an exciting adventurous trip. We hiked and went zip lining. We saw turtles lay eggs in the sand in the middle of the night. The hotels were nice, comfortable and the staff were amazing. Over all a great trip.Show more
- Phousonh· August 14th, 2025Great tour to see all most areas of Costa Rica. From the carribean side to the Pacific. Turtle hatching, volcano hike , waterfalls , and zip lining, to name a few. Adventurous and fun !Show more
- Lori· August 7th, 2025Overall this trip was amazing! We were able to see so many different parts of Costa Ruca. Itinerary was wonderful but very physical. I believe that most older people would struggle (I am 54 and it was challenging at times). Pack quick dry athletic clothing. Pack comfy hiking waterproof boots/shoes. Bring a lightweight rain jacket with hood. Cons: 1. Upgrade your hotels. Turtle Beach in Tortuguero was in an amazing location but VERY rustic. Screens in rooms and not windows. Bathrooms weren’t very clean. There was a dead worm in my shower the entire time and dead bugs. Buffet didn’t change much meal to meal. 2. Tour guide Melissa in tortugero wasn’t the greatest. She wasn’t available for most of the time. Said she would be “around” but was not many times. Communication for planned activities wasn’t great. Took us on a “walk around the property”. Didn’t tell us ahead of time that it would be almost 3 hours long. We didn’t bring water or sunscreen and were still wearing rain boots provided . Not ideal for a 3 hour walk. 3. Be prepared to carry and transport your own luggage at all times. PACK LIGHT! We had to carry our luggage through the mud at Tortugero transfer location. 4. Read what your hotel offers before booking additional activities. Our hotel in Arenal had hot springs on site but we had paid for ecothermales hot springs. (Ecothermales was incredible though) Pros: 1. All other tour guides were great. 2. Laundry services in Arenal are cheap and quick. A lot of my clothes were damp from Tortugero and I laundered everything. 3. The suspension bridges were AMAZING! Would have skipped the cloud forest walk if I knew how great the bridges would be. 4. Zip lines were great! Lots of steps and walking. Didn’t expect that. 5. Last hotel in Tamarindo was the best. We stayed at the Wyndham. It was a resort. Perfect way to end the tripShow more
