Mom of 9 & 13 yr olds, traveled with 2 families
13 day Arenal Volcano, Cloud Forest, Uvita, Osa Peninsula with combo of Plus and Upgrade lodges
It was a fabulous trip and I will say that it was absolutely flawless. Everything was very smooth and easy and Jose was incredible. We saw so many unique things and the different sections of the trip actually felt a bit like separate trips completely.
Highlights for me were a coffee/chocolate tour in La Fortuna and I LOVED Hotel Silencio and the hot springs and volcano right there. We also got to see a sea turtle rescue up close from our snorkeling boat one day in Drake Bay. They had to cut it out of a fishing net

9 day Rainforest, Volcano, Cloud Forest with ecoPlus lodges
We had a fantastic time in Costa Rica, and this trip has given us hope to go on many more adventures with our little ones in the future! My husband and I both liked it a lot more than just a beach/resort vacation as we got to see and do so much more. This has been a growing experience for all of us.
A big Thank you to Kevin for his knowledge, patience and kindness. We all loved him. My 5 year old said that now he has a best friend in Costa Rica named Camilla (Kevin’s daughter)

I just wanted to let you know it was a dream vacation!
Every lodge you booked for us was awesome, Luis was the best guide and the entire trip was very smooth.
I cannot thank you enough for your help!
We will be back and use your company (and recommend it to our friends)…
Pura Vida!

12 day Cloud Forest, Arenal Volcano, Rainforest, Playa Negra Beach with eco-Upgrade lodges
We had a wonderful visit!! Luis was a perfect host and everything went very smoothly! Such a beautiful country and we saw every animal under the sun!
I wouldn’t change a thing about our trip!
If I had one heads up, it would be the rooster at Campo Silencio (kind of ironic name, haha!) It crows from 3 am to 4 am and it’s right next to the family villas! Otherwise this was our favorite place, the kids by far since it had a trampoline which the LOVED! Leave it to kids, there are beautiful hot springs and their

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

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!

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

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.

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
