Tortuguero Turtles, Rainforest, Volcano, Cloud Forest

I wrote up some of my notes from the trip…Overall we had an amazing adventure and are serious about coming back again next March. I’ll be in touch!!

Hotel Buena Vista, Alajuela

Loved this hotel! It was a great place to start the trip. The people were so kind there and the food was excellent.

Tortuguero

I think this was our favorite location! (see photo above) Tortuga Lodge & Gardens was gorgeous and the accommodations were so nice. My only note with this property is the meals… 3 course lunches and dinners are time consuming and overall

10 day Volcano, Cloud Forest, Manuel Antonio Beach custom itinerary with Upgrade & one Tico lodging

Not sure where to begin, but the vacation was amazing!
First of all our guide, Jose!!! He was just wonderful. Knowledgable,
patient, and fun. Seemed as excited as we were by the incredible
landscape and animals and made great suggestions to make sure
we saw as much as possible without over taxing the kiddos.
Had a brand new 10+ passenger van that made
the long rough rides up the mountains quite tolerable. Found us
a doctor at 6am when the little one was up all night with a terrible
fever and

Antone and Lauren, honeymoon
11 day Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, Cloud Forest, Arenal Volcano

Lauren and I had a wonderful time and can’t thank you enough for your efforts to make our honeymoon the best vacation yet. Both Walter and Gil were excellent guides, completely professional, and were great at their job. Gil especially was amazing. His passion for the country and the wildlife that call CR home is contagious. All hotels were fantastic and easy to use. The locations were fantastic and we have no complaints with the facilities. And thanks for letting Hacienda Guachepelin know about our honeymoon. They gave us a bottle of wine, chocolate dipped strawberries and flower

10 day Volcano, Rainforest, Beach tour with eco-Plus lodging

Our trip was amazing. We have so many pictures and stories, I don’t know where to start. We really enjoyed Luis‘ company. A couple days after he left us, my youngest (Zach -5) said “I miss Luis” – he never said that about anyone before.

Our personal highlights were:

Me: swimming in the river while feeding the fruit-eating “piranhas” during our raft tour in the rain forest near Sarapiqui; having monkeys throw figs at me in the Cahuita national park. Also, I brought a blacklight flashlight with me on a night walk with Luis and Xavier in Sarapiqui

Leah, mom of 5 and 7 yr olds
12 day Cloud Forest, Arenal Volcano, Rainforest, Beach with eco-Plus lodging

Our guide, Gil, really made the trip so special. He was really wonderful, knowledgeable and patient with our children who weren’t always at their best! He always knew the best dish on the menu to pick, so “I’ll have what Gil’s having” was always a safe bet. He took wonderful photos of the wildlife we saw as well.

Other than Gil, highlights included the hot thermal pools in La Fortuna (Hotel Las Lagos), white-water rafting in Sarapiqui, and the volcano views from the Arenal lodge.

Definitely lots of memories for us all.

10 day Rincon de la Vieja Volcano & Samara Beach custom itinerary

We had a fantastic trip! So glad we choose to go to Costa Rica

It was such a stress free trip since Jenny did all the planning and Luis made it so easy. He is great. We felt like we made a new friend. We kept our trip relatively simple – Rincon de la Vieja for 3 nights and 4 nights at samara. We spent a night on each end at a hotel in Liberia and we enjoyed it also. We spent one evening walking around Liberia, nice park and church.

Hacienda Guachipelin was beautiful, the adventure center, restaurant

10 day Rincon de la Vieja Volcano, Cloud Forest, Dominical, Osa Peninsula itinerary with eco-Plus lodging (lodging only- no guide)

We had a fabulous time! I just posted on your FB Page.

I personally loved La Cusinga lodge for its beauty, and Drake Bay for the peaceful surroundings, but we enjoyed the entire trip. We also learned a lot about the areas we like and maybe not spreading ourselves too thin next time. But it was great to see more of the country, and as always, the people were so friendly and accommodating regardless of where we were. I’m sad to be home in the cold MD winter!! 🙂

Thank you so much for organizing our travels even though

10 day Arenal Volcano, Rainforest, Playa Negra Beach with eco-Upgrade lodging

Thanks for following up. We had a wonderful trip and are so grateful for all you did to help make it happen. Thank you. Here’s some quick feedback.

Highlights:

We loved Walter! He was a great host and the perfect mix of adventurer and grandfather. He was terrific with our girls and really shaped our experience. We highly recommend him!
The girls particularly loved the adventure activities – ziplining at la linda and white water rafting with green rivers. We felt they were both challenging and age appropriate. The guides were terrific and made us feel

10 day Volcano, Rainforest, Beach tour with eco-Plus lodging

It was great to meet your family while we were at Danaus. Leo was a great guide, very knowledgeable, a safe driver, and a wonderful person. We packed in a lot of activities and made many memories! Your pre-tour packet and the details on optional activities really helped us prepare for our trip. We were happy with the different places we stayed at, and all of the lodging staff made us feel welcome.

All in all, we had a great experience & we would use your services again.
