We had a wonderful family vacation and the guides were truly incredible. It was such a personalized trip and we felt so VIP and taken care of. You have a wonderful team and support network down there.
I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much we enjoyed our time. Thank you for putting this all together for us.

9 day Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, Cloud Forest, Samara beach with eco-Upgrade lodging
We had an absolute blast! Thank you for planning such an amazing trip for us – it was really a dream come true.
The absolute highlight for us was
Jose Pablo. He was so amazing and absolutely made the trip for us. I never knew guides like this existing in Costa Rica, and he made the trip so much easier and far more enjoyable. He was extremely patient and entertaining with our children. I cannot speak highly enough about him. Thank you for connecting us with him for this trip.

10 day Arenal Volcano, Rainforest, Playa Negra beach with eco-Plus lodging
The trip was awesome. I wouldn’t say I’d recommend anything. The only thing I wasn’t prepared for was arriving early to Cahuita, not having a room ready and not having any thing easily accessible to walk to the beach or do something until our room was ready. I could have caught that also.
We had a great trip.
Luis is amazing, and I appreciate all of your help! We will be returning some day, and hope to work with you then as well.

9 day Arenal Volcano, Samara beach with eco-Upgrade lodging
We had an amazing trip — loved every minute.
We enjoyed SO MUCH of our trip, just as we did last time. This time around, we REALLY loved the ziplining tour through the canopy at Arenal. It was one of the most memorable things we’ve ever done, and my 7-year-old loved it as much as the rest of us. Walter took us to a wonderful place very close to The Springs that had a gorgeous view — but more importantly, the guides were extremely professional and GREAT with kids. We also had the best time exploring

14 day Tortuguero, Rainforest, Arenal Volcano, Cloud Forest, Manuel Antonio Beach with eco-Tico lodging
We had a WONDERFUL time in CR, thank you so much. Luis was great, very informative, very helpful and very accommodating. We couldn’t have done it without you. You provide a great service. Everywhere was a highlight…I really couldn’t choose one but if I had to I’d probably say Tortuguero.

15 day Arenal Volcano, Cloud Forest, Esterios Este Beach with ecoUpgrade lodging
Thanks, Jenny! We had a great trip and a really good experience with both Alice [babysitter] and Luis. Everything went smoothly – apart from our kids! – and we appreciate how well thought out all the details were.
And just a quick summary of a few of our trip highlights, as promised: hiking through the volcanic landscape around Arenal; touring the chocolate producer near La Fortuna (what an unexpectedly great and non-commercial-feeling tour!); relishing the dynamic views of the Nicoya Peninsula and local bird life from the Sunrise Room at Hotel Belmar; visiting the sloth sanctuary in Monteverde and

16 day Rincon de la Vieja Volacano, Arenal Volcano, Monteverde Cloud Forest, Samara Beach with Eco-Upgrade & Plus lodging
Thank you! We had a wonderful holiday.
Some highlights included a waterfall in Guachipelin and the chocolate tour in Arenal. Both stand out, especially the chocolate tour, which is great with younger kids. We also really loved spending time with Luis and had a number of fun hikes with him in various locations. Luis also made it really easy to find places to eat. We learned a great deal from him about the areas we traveled to and the nature we observed.
Overall I will wholeheartedly recommend you to anybody looking to travel to CR with a family.

10 day Rainforest, Arenal Volcano, Cloud Forest with eco-Plus lodging/ Upgrade at Arenal Volcano
We had a great trip. Thank you so much for helping us to organize it. Jose was wonderful, the kids liked him a lot and he was so knowledgeable and passionate about Costa Rica. We were so lucky with the weather…sunny almost every day! I feel like the kids are the perfect age for this trip, everybody was able to do all of the extreme adventure things that we did, and also appreciate all the beautiful surroundings and everything that Jose taught us.
Some specific feedback, which I only could appreciate in hindsight, of course!
