    Overall, it was a brilliant tour and I'm very glad I booked this tour. It was a shame that it had to end, it went very quickly. Thanks to the tour guide Dorian for all of his help throughout the tour, he made the tour very fun!

    Amazing to do a stress free trip. Our tour guide made it very special and had incredible knowledge of the wildlife. He really loved and respected his country, and it was great to share that with him. Could have done with more diversity in activity options, some cheaper / with different and smaller companies.

    The Costa Rica Active Adventure was absolutely fantastic. I made friends from lots of different countries whilst also experiencing what Costa Rica has to offer. The trip offers a plethora of activities as well as capturing the very best of Costa Rican wildlife, definitely the highlight. I would thoroughly recommend this trip and G Adventures - ask for Marco!
