"From the moment we got into the airport and met the first bus driver we felt comfortable. The places we stayed at were great. Tropical paradise in La Fortuna and lots of monkeys and wildlife in Qepos, Manual Antonio. Everything was arranged well and we all will have lots of memories for a long time."

"We had an amazing time exploring the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. This trip ticked all the boxes... and the support of a local guide when we decided last minute to alter a trip and go zip lining! It was brilliant to be off the beaten trail and we saw amazing scenery and wildlife and of course the famous quetzal bird in the beautiful cloud forest... I would thoroughly recommend this as a memorable family trip."

“From the cloudy rain forests with their hanging walkways to surfing at Santa Teresa within three hours. All the logistics all worked - great drivers who transported us and told us about the country… The holiday was great because we saw a lot of the beautiful country, staying in six places… We loved every minute.”
