Costa Rica Tours in June 2027

My wife and I just returned from an amazing 11-day trip to Costa Rica. Yuliana helped us to put together a private tour designed specifically for us. No amount of time and effort would have let us do it ourselves. We were most interested in the landscape and animals, and our private driver was able to take us to fabulous sights. We stayed in unusual accommodations including a tree house in the jungle and a villa at the Arenal volcano. We recommend Yuliana and her agency very highly and also our wonderful guide and driver, Roy.

I spent 13 days in Costa Rica and did a self-drive everywhere from Liberia to San Jose while hitting places such as Rincon, Arenal, Monteverde, Samara Beach, and Dominical to name a few and I was able to do pretty much everything I wanted to do in Costa Rica thanks to Alex's brilliant trip planning! On top of that, the hotels that were booked for me were all top notch and there were plenty of opportunities to have lunch and dinner no matter where I stayed. If you plan to stay in Costa Rica anytime soon, I highly recommend having Alex to plan your trip with you!

Overall, we had the time of our lives. GAdventires and our CEO took care of everything so all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves. The memories we made will last a lifetime. We are already planning our next trip with GAdventures. There were some minor issues: The website was frustrating, and the app was found wanting in many ways. It would have been nice to have a little more clarity on how this style of group travel worked. For example, we booked many of our own excursions cause it was never made clear that our CEO could arrange those from day to day on the trip. The excursions listed online were limited and unclear when those would be taking place (all in one day? Spread over several days?) It would have been nice to know more of the timeline for departures, arrivals etc, online or on the app for each day, even if it was a rough estimate. Last but most frustrating was that the hotels originally listed on the online itinerary were all nicer, 4-star hotels so when it changed right beforehand to 3-star hotel/motel-like places, it felt a little like a bait-and-switch scam. The accommodations were fine, and we still would have come if the 3-star places were listed. It was the switching it to lower quality for the same price right before travel that felt suspicious. All minor things, but hopefully helpful feedback. There were so many more positive things than negative!!

Our CEO Nany made this trip something me and my family will always remember. It was filled with adventure and plenty of options for activities for people of all ages. We were CONSTANTLY on the go although if someone wanted more down time then that was certainly possible. All details were taken care of for us (except departure to airport) so we didn't have to worry about anything except enjoying ourselves.

Our overall experience was fantastic, we had a phenomenal guide, Rey Salazar. Rey's enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of the wildlife, flora, and fauna greatly enriched our trip. He ensured everyone spotted the wildlife, explained the history of each area, and translated everything for our diverse group. Despite some disappointment with the paved paths limiting our jungle exploration, we understood the conservation aspect. Our accommodations were excellent with Fleur De Lys Hotel in San Jose providing a central location and helpful staff, particularly Brian, and Pachira Lodge offering a delightful "glamping" experience with friendly staff and delicious food. Transportation was smooth, with a considerate bus driver and an incredible boat ride. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience.

Travelled first time with Exodus to Costa Rica and it was a very well organised and exciting tour of the beautiful country. Travelled to many different lodges and national parks. Arriving in San Jose we were welcomed by our wonderful tour guide Gwenda, we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide, so much knowledge about the country, culture and wildlife. Gwenda is truly an valuable member of Exodus along with Randall our amazing driver keeping us safe on our travels.
