Arenal Volcano Tours in Winter

A brilliant trip that shows the diversity of Costa Rica. From lagoons to rainforests to dry forests and cloud forests and beaches we saw so much of this lovely country and its flora and fauna. Highly recommended.

The star of the experience was Gracie - how she made us a cohesive group. She kept everything on schedule. Gracie had a great smile and sense of humour. She was very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and we drove along on the bus she would give us information on agriculture, education, schooling, history of the country etc Great discussion on the challenges of the massive increase in tourism. Certainly would very much enjoy having Gracie as my CEO on my next trip

Costa Rica is a real adventure that our two teenage boys relished. A great mix of wildlife, adrenaline and travel that took us off the beaten track and gave us a taste of the real Costa Rica. My eldest son appreciated the fact we weren’t “stuck in tourist traps” but explored some of the history and culture of each region. Their highlights were the whitewater rafting, zip -lining, speed boat ride to Corcovado and hanging out in Dominical with the surf, monkey, iguanas and toucans. The hotels were really great quality and our guide was super knowledgeable on everything from wildlife to restaurant recommendations.

We had a wonderful and appreciated our CEO, Kim. She picked out good activities, helped us to think about when each type of activity would be best and how to weight the options. There were some tough personalities and she navigated those relationships with grace. We hit some major traffic and she remained calm. Kim set the tone for the week and her positive energy worked well with the kids to give them great experiences!

This exceeded our expectations. My wife and I are experienced travelers and this was the first ?real? trip experience for our kids. Having a family themed trip was wonderful, and the kids had a blast with their tour friends. The other parents were easy to bond with. Berny was a great guide, and we were very satisfied with the experience. Looking forward to another tour!

It was amazing! This tour was perfectly suited for families, and it was so lovely traveling with other people who understand the extra challenges of traveling with kids. Plus, the smaller group size made bonding easier, and travelling extra pleasurable. The nature was unbelievably amazing. The local guides were all enthusiastic and knowledgeable and there was a great mix of activities so that you could choose things that you were most interested in. I would absolutely go on another G Adventures tour based on this experience. Pura vida!
