Was an awesome adventure with absolutely no issues, even customized flight/hotel for a day earlier so we had more time in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Excellent location, amazing service, beautiful scenery. Would be nice to pick and choose excursions, rather than just be signed up for. Really loved our vacation!
