Costa Rica Magic Adventure

Each of the excursions on this tour was awesome in its own way--unforgettable! The guides were well informed and took care of us very well. But every day required waking up between four thirty to six thirty and 6-10 hours of transportation through horrible San Jose traffic. (The tour description estimated 3-5 hours per day). On the Tortuga Island day, we were not informed that the bus would pick us up at 5 AM and then spend TWO MORE HOURS picking up other passengers in San Jose before the 2 hour ride to the port and then 2 more hours on a boat. By the end, we were utterly exhausted. Then the driver to the airport didn't arrive so we had to scramble for a last minute taxi to make our flight. Dinner's not included and the neighborhood around our hotel wasn't safe to walk in, so we ended up needing to eat at the same hotel restaurant 6 nights in a row (more chicken fingers, anyone?) because we were too tired to Uber somewhere else. If you go to Costa Rica, I recommend finding a resort to stay in and then doing 1-2 excursions during your week-long trip so you aren't spending your whole trip in traffic.
