Central America Volcanoes Trips

Weeks later and still speechless! This trip was so culturally immersive and well planned. Our tour manager was phenomenal and made such an impact on our family. This trip was so educational and my kids loved every single day. 10/10!

We were disappointed to find we were unable to travel to Delos and Mykonos because our tour was too early in the season. The Santorini evening caldera tour was also not available until May 1. Explore must be aware this issue arises with early season tours, and customers should be pre warned. We were not aware of how much hiking was involved in a Discovery tour, but were pleased we were able manage to achieve something well out of our comfort zone. Apart from the above issues, we were very happy with our tour.

This tour was amazing. Costa Rica is simply one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The tour director made us feel like family, and had so much enthusiasm for every detail. The hotels were deluxe and the food delicious. We learned so much from the tour director’s extensive knowledge which she was happy to share. You should be in good physical condition for this tour, and be prepared for a lot of local tipping. We did appreciate that most all the meals were included (Top Rate Meals), which meant very few extra expenses. My favorite tour to date. Has everything from deep jungle to ocean beaches.

I thought the hotel/resort in Monte Verde was beautiful and an amazing stay. The coach was comfortable and liked the WiFi and usb outlets. The itinerary was fun and I’m glad we had time to pick our own excursions or just chill if we wanted to. Horseback riding and catching the sunset was perfect and zip lining was super fun. The float on the river seeing so many monkeys in the trees was a perfect way to end the trip. Also the stop on the river for a snack and coffee was such a nice touch.

Great tour but too much free time in villages where there is nothing else to see or do. Our guide Aimee was very good and looked after us very well. Having local guides was interesting as you experience their view on the places you are visiting. Our request to hike to Mt Pinatubo was rejected. No reason was given and we were very disappointed as the group before us had gone.

Costa Rica surpassed all my expectations! I would have never thought there was a resort inside a jungle that takes one, a long boat ride to get to! The people I met, starting at the airports all the way back to the airport and all those in between were excellently trained, prepared and very knowledgeable! Very kind!!! I learned so much regarding natural resources and the environment. Learning about and meeting the good people who reside in Costa Rica! Thank you for offering a really detailed and informative tour!
