[Tour 6th Nov to 20th Nov'24] I've been on several Explore holidays, and this has been hands down my favourite to date. Costa Rica is amazingly beautiful, with so much to see for wildlife lovers, and activities to do such as zip-lining. The people are lovely, too! Our guide, Camilo, was outstanding: he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Costa Rica's flora & fauna, which he shared enthusiastically with us, along with a great sense of humour when discussing all kinds of topics. He constantly carried his spotting scope & tripod around on treks, so that those of us who didn't have binoculars didn't miss out on seeing the wildlife, and he took some amazing photos for us to enjoy as souvenirs. Our driver Miguel was also fantastic, handling the wet weather conditions on zig-zag roads very professionally, and keeping the bus spotless despite all the mud we couldn't help but bring back on our boots with the almost constant rain. I'd definitely recommend this trip to others, and would love to see more of Costa Rica: please add more itineraries, Explore :)

I would recommend this trip to anyone considering it! There’s no way I could have planned such an amazing trip and fit so much into 10 days! Our guide Jose has been amazing, he absolutely made our trip and I can’t imagine how it could have been improved. He is completely organised, considerate and brings a fun energy to the trip that made the whole experience an unforgettable one! He is so knowledgeable about all things Costa Rica and his recommendations were always fantastic. He absolutely went above and beyond to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime and I can’t thank him enough 🫶🏻

Discover incredible, lush Costa Rica and understand why this part of the world is called the ‘rich coast’. This 15-day adventure, beginning and ending in lively San Jose, is a journey through the jungles, farmlands, beaches and cities of a pure Central American location. Stay with a local family in Santa Rosa de Pocosol and help your hosts prep a traditional meal. Soak in springs that get their heat from an active volcano in La Fortuna and take on a huge array of nature-based optional activities in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Spot three-toed sloths in the thickets of the Manuel Antonio National Park, then relax beneath swaying palms on the nearby beaches.

Great trip. Full on pace, would have to skip activities to slow down! A cultural and nature trip. Guatemala was my favourite country; the Mayan history and culture. The archeological site at Copan adds to the diversity of experiences on this trip. As well the more recent history of regime change in Nicaragua. The Spanish colonial architecture was highlighted at all destinations, quaint hotels. Nature’s beauty and wild life was showcased throughout. Overall, a diversity of experiences filled the two weeks!

The timing, the excursions and activities, the restaurants, accommodations and travels were all so amazing, and there was never a dull moment. No wait I take that back. The dull moments is when we went to bed. I never wanted the day to end and I never wanted this trip to end. From the ceo to the new friends I made in our group, it was absolutely amazing. The wildlife, the beaches, the food, the parties, the home stay, I can’t even get started on the home stay. What a wholesome moment. The families were so sweet and welcoming. I wanted to thank G Adventures and I wanted to especially thank Aaron, our ceo for always being organized and making this tour educational and fun.
