Central America Active and Outdoor Tours 2023/2024

“Fantastic trip for me as it had all my favourite activities - wildlife and birdwatching, archaeology/history, and water-based activities eg. canoeing, boat and lagoon trips, swimming and particularly fantastic snorkelling. We were very unfortunate with the weather at Placencia so all boat trips were cancelled. Wilfred decided to leave Tikal earlier to see if we could get earlier ferry to Caye Caulker - we didn't manage this but still managed to organise a 2 -hour snorkelling trip on arrival, which was great, and partly made up for the lost trip at Placencia. I don't understand why you shortened the trip at Caye Caulker, because the snorkelling and other boating activities there are superb. I was very envious of the 3 people with the extra night there. I realise you changed it because of some criticism in the past - but nearly everyone on our trip went specifically to Belize, rather than any other Central American country because of the excellent snorkelling. It is also not that unusual to have a spell of adverse weather so you need more than 2 whole days on trip for possible trips. There are also lots of boat trip potential even if you are not interested in getting in the water.”

“It was a fun tour put together. The name of this tour pretty much is what says, in which you see many different waterfalls and forest areas around the Ricon de la Vieja National Park, Monteverde, and Arenal volcano near La Fortuna. Many activities were arranged to which you see these waterfalls and forest environments such as horseback riding, nightwalk to see various animals insects and reptiles at night, hikes, and rappelling. When these activities were done usually by noon, you have the rest of the day to yourself to explore around other sites or to just relax at your hotel. I enjoyed the week I had in Costa Rica doing this tour, and I would recommend anyone who wants a bit of adventure and relaxation to go on this tour.”

“Everything about the trip worked out except for our pick up at the airport in San Jose. our flight arrived a little bit early and we waited for a half hour and did not find our transfer bus to the hotel. Come to find out it did show up later than we anticipated, but we had already left in a taxi to our hotel. It was provided according to the emails we received, but it was late. Someone should’ve checked that our flight was coming in early. All in all, everything ran pretty smoothly and our optional side tours were wonderful. The choices on this trip for side trips and activities were amazing! Even though the temperatures were very high, we enjoyed our night jungle tour! We saw kinkajous, a raccoon, scorpions mating, several tree frogs, three snake sightings, one of which was a poisonous viper, we saw a poisonous female bullfrog that was huge, several kinds of spiders, parrots and monkeys.”
