Family Costa Rica Rainforest and Wildlife Adventure

The trip was amazing - Best holiday ever. Our guide, Diego, went above and beyond to make sure that we had a fabulous holiday - keeping four teens from 14 to 20 entertained on a holiday isn't always easy but we all loved it.

Our guide Oscar was brilliant. We all had such a wonderful family-focused wildlife adventure. The trip was pretty pacey and tiring but also great to pack so many highlights into a fortnight. Also, recommend going in low season (August) as although it is rainy season, we were lucky to see green turtles nesting on one coast and baby humpback whales on the other.

We've just returned from an adventure of a lifetime in Costa Rica. Had the best family holiday and saw so much amazing wildlife. Zip-wired above the rainforest canopy, white water rafted along the Rio Balsa, climbed volcano trails, enjoyed a family cooking class in the cloud forest region, learned about local cheese and chocolate and enjoyed eating them, watched a turtle laying eggs in the dark of the night, saw a sloth swimming in the jungle waterways and watched humpbacks breaching in the Pacific on our boat journey to Corcovado National Park. Everyday was an exciting adventure with an itinerary that kept the whole family happy. Covering several different regions, each with its own unique climate, the wildlife trip really did show off the best of Costa Rica. We were extremely lucky to have the most fantastic guide, whose knowledge and enthusiasm made our trip the best it could possibly have been. Perfect holiday in every way.

The accommodation was just for sleeping in but much more than adequate. The itinerary was fantastic - every day had at least one highlight that we'll never forget. The Explore leader was exemplary: friendly, approachable, ultra-knowledgeable and was happy to go above and beyond to show off his country of which he was rightly proud.

This was a wonderful holiday, with something special happening every day. We saw amazing wildlife (humpbacked whales, nesting turtle, sloths, tapirs and so many birds), and a range of stunning scenery as we travelled coast to coast. We loved the whitewater rafting and ziplining too. Diego (leader) and Christian (driver) went above and beyond to ensure we were safe, informed, and entertained at all times - we will never forget the karaoke bus!!
