Barry | Traveled in October
This was an exceptional trip, The itinerary, pace and tour leader made it one of my best trips yet, The only thing that distracted from this was the Whitewater rafting. This was included within the itinerary and the company had set an age limit of 65 for those who rafted on the main river. There was no discussion, If you were over 65 you went on a river, more like a stream which for me was a total waste of time. So people over 65, fit and with rafting experience were relegated to a small river whilst others with no experience rafted the main river. Rafting company nonsense rules. Would have been better if the company took notice of fitness and experience or allowed people to sign a disclaimer.

I did this trip in September 2025 and this is by far the best one I have done so far. This trip shows you how diverse the country is with its different ecosystems and wildlife. From the Caribbean coast over to the Pacific. Everywhere you look there is an abundance of wildlife from the colourful birds and larger mammals/primates right down to the tiny frogs and leaf cutter ants.
