Highlights of Costa Rica + Beach Extension

It was a good introduction to Costa Rica although there were some very long periods spent sat on a bus. Some changes to the itinerary might improve this to break up the journeys. It was disappointing to not do the first day visit to the volcano national park and a walk around San Jose wasn't a particularly good substitute and a better Plan B needs to be put in place.

Transfers were longer than expected - close to all day travel. Would rather get to the next location rather than lunch stops. Aa already noted beach extension was inland and expensive to get to beach. Beach shuttle was not a beach shuttle. Overall trip to expensive for me - not an 8 day trip. It is a 6 day trip with 2 day beach extension. Not a patch on india explore trip in 2020 in value terms.

A fabulous holiday with a very knowledgeable guide. Accommodation great, a jam-packed holiday with very memorable animal sightings.

Terrific trip for a quick look at the wildlife of CR. The itinerary was not physically challenging and there was plenty of choice for optional activities. The tour leader, Luis Chavez, was outstanding, which always makes a trip. I took the "Beach extension" option which was a good decision, given the location of the Karahe Hotel, right on the beach and adjacent to Manuel Antonio NP. It might not be so much, in a different hotel.
