We had the best time on our Costa Rica trip. I was worried about the coordination, but all went smoothly. The communication was fantastic and and when little things happened they were always available on Whatsapp for updates and reassurance. They were very flexible when I wanted to change things slightly at the last minute towards the end of the trip. I would highly recommend this company.

Picking up highlights of rainforest
All programs are set properly and each part of program is very punctual. We enjoyed to see many wildlife and plants throughout the tour. Tortuguero, Arenal, and Monteverde, each place varies of their weather, landscape, animals, and plants. So it is interesting to see these diferences.
