Just finished my Costa Rica Trip and had the best time ever!! If you are considering it DO IT!!! I’ve been on many many group tours and this was by far the best I have done to date! The group leader - Elmer, honestly made the trip and just went above and beyond in every possible way to ensure we were having a good time! Will definitely be booking another Intro trip soon as it was the best two weeks ever!

Loved our tour manager Olman Vargas - he was very knowledgeable about Costa Rican culture and the wildlife. He went out of his way to accommodate everyone on the trip. We loved the boat cruises, ziplining, walking in the canopy, and white water rafting. There was a fair amount of bus riding, but Olman gave us opportunities to visit coffee, banana, and cacao planatations and stop for "*** ***" breaks. If I were to change anything, it would be the Marriott as a hotel choice at the end. I would have preferred to be closer to the national park (within walking distance).

It was fun, interesting and I learned a lot. While it is marketed as an 8 day trip, Day 1 and day 8 are a meetup and drive to the airport respectively. Therefore it’s really a 6 day adventure, however it was a marvelous 6 days. Everything was flawless.

I really enjoyed ziplining, white-water rafting and the cloud forest hanging bridges. But I also like the impromptu stop at the banana processing plant and the ox cart manufacturing facility. The coffee and chocolate tours were great. Martha was the best! I wish I could take another tour with her. She is so nice, knowledgeable, and just like a member of the family. Martha is the best guide I have ever had!
