10 day Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, Arenal Volcano, Samara Beach with eco-Plus & Tico lodges
Jenny, it was fabulous! Better than I could have dreamed Costa Rica would be. We were on the fence about the whole guide thing but Kevin made the trip SO much better! I loved that we didn’t have to worry about all the logistics. He was just so patient, kind, informative and fun to be with. We were all sad when it was time to depart. One of the biggest highlights was whitewater rafting with him as guide and 2 others that helped take video and provided extra safety. We felt like royalty who later get dunked!

10 day Rainforest, Arenal Volcano, Cloud Forest with eco-Upgrade lodging
Many thanks again for arranging the most fantastic trip I’ve been on. Your hard work really paid off.
These are but a few suggestions that came to my mind. Though you specifically say print out the itinerary, please remind people to bring it with them to show custom authorities. In addition to their passport. They wanted your flight home where you’re gonna be staying, which is all in your detailed (provided, they have it on hand and readily available). Unfortunately, these requirements aren’t available to the public until you get pretty close to the customs, agent and people are starting

15 day Tortuguero, Sarapiqui Rainforest, Arenal Volcano, Monteverde Cloud Forest, Manuel Antonio beach with eco-Upgrade Lodging
Thank you for organising the most wonderful trip, we had such an amazing adventure!
Luis was an amazing guide and such a lovely, interesting guy to spend time with. We can’t thank him or praise him enough.
Overall everything worked really well and we were delighted with all of the accommodation and enjoyed all of our excursions.
The only real negative came after a wonderful couple of days in Tortuga Lodge when we received the bill for the trips we had done and it was more than three times the price we had agreed when we booked

12 day Sarapiqui Rainforest, Arenal Volcano, Monteverde Cloud Forest with eco-Plus and Upgrade lodges
We can’t thank you enough for the assistance GFA provided us in planning this trip. Diego was indispensable and went above and beyond to provide the best experience.
You provided us the perfect information in advance so that we could ‘go with the flow’ on the trip yet my ‘type A’s personality felt like everything was taken care of. We were able to experience so much more of Costa Rica’s culture than if we had booked our own trip at a resort.

9 day Arenal Volcano, Monteverde Cloud Forest, Manuel Antonio Beach
We had an absolutely fantastic trip! Thank you so much for everything.
You cannot get a better experience in Costa Rica with anyone else as your guide – Jose is the BEST!! He truly made our family vacation special and memorable. He is a very safe driver and highly knowledgeable guide. His vast knowledge of nature and wildlife was impressive. His passion for educating visitors about Costa Rica and its culture shines through every conversation. And the best part of all is his kind and patient approach to everything. Don’t make a trip to this beautiful country without

11 day Tarcoles, Manuel Antonio, Osa Peninsula, Dominical Itinerary with eco-Plus lodging
I wanted to let you know that we had a absolutely wonderful time in Costa Rica and felt that the entire process of setting this trip up was as easy as could be for an international trip. We felt that you were always helpful and got back to us very quickly with the phethora of questions that we had leading up to the trip. We planned this for my son’s graduation and birthday present and he couldn’t have been happier. He is an aspiring herpetologist so we are very grateful that you were able to set us up with Keep Reading →

10 day Arenal Volcano, Sarapiqui Rainforest, Playa Negra Beach with eco-Plus lodging
My family LOVED our trip to Costa Rica with Global Family Adventures. It was our first international adventure as a family, and GFA made everything comfortable, and an exciting learning experience.
We stayed at Silencio del Campo in Arenal, Selva Verde in Sarapiqui, and Playa Negra Guesthouse in Cahuita. Each unique accommodation was spacious, clean, and comfortable (with AC). Further, and most importantly to us, each place had beautiful grounds full of nature. We loved walking around looking for animals and playing in the pools surrounded by wildlife.
Our trip was also made comfortable by our driver and guide, Keep Reading →

8 day Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, Samara Beach with eco-Plus lodging
We had an amazing trip with Global Family Adventures. It was the perfect combination of nature and beach for 8 days in Costa Rica. Our guide, Dauren, was so good. At the end of our trip, I joked with him about wanting to hire him for all our family vacations in the future!!
We started at Rincon de la Vieja Volcano area with our first night at Buena Vista del Rincon enjoying the sunset on the deck and the next morning a tractor ride to the hot springs. It was this incredible oasis in the forest. The accomomdations are

8 day Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, Arenal Volcano and beach booked by fmaily with eco-Plus lodging
We had an incredible time in CR!
Both of the accommodations were excellent. I really enjoyed both of them. Hacienda Guachipelin was such an interesting destination. Clean and friendly. Great food. We took full advantage of the buffet and loved the open air dining area. Really enjoyed that it was so close to Liberia so that the first day, after arriving, we had only a short drive from the airport. Hotel Lomas del Volcano was lovely – the grounds were incredible. We had clear views of the volcano. We loved the pool area especially (and the piña coladas). It also
