My first (and definitely not last) G Adventures trip was just incredible. It was great to experience so many different sides to Costa Rica, guided by an amazing CEO. The bang for you buck in terms of time and experiences is great for someone who's looking to take a back seat in the planning but still have an authentic trip which ticks all the must dos and then some. The connections and friends you make on the trip is the cherry on top, it was such a lovely mix of people who had great stories to tell. Already looking at booking my next one, pura vida!

Overall, I give this experience a 10/10. It was my first international trip solo and I had the best time ever. The option to stay an extra night on either end of the trip was perfect. The option for transportation to and from the airport was really appreciated, as I was by myself in a new country. I got to experience so many parts of Costa Rica in a two-week period that I would not have been able to do if I was alone. I am already looking for my next trip to book. I will be a G customer for a long time and recommend it to anyone who will listen!
