It was a most enjoyable trip. Coming back home everyone was anxious waiting to hear about this trip. Costa Rica is a beautiful country, with friendly people, and clean delicious food. Incredibly fortunate I was able to have this experience. The Arenal volcano, the hanging bridges, the beach, it was great!!!

This was our first Collette tour and there is no reason we would not consider another. Our tour leader was superb and hotels and tours were great. I do not have a favorite experience as everything was varied and enjoyable.

Well, planned adventure trip for the physically fit. I was not able to participate in many of the adventure events because I have a mobility issue that cropped up right before I left. But overall, it was a great trip well planned well executed super good tour manager.

As an Exodus employee, this was my first Exodus trip and a fantastic way to experience Costa Rica firsthand. Our leader, Johnny, was outstanding throughout, and the combination of incredible wildlife, beautiful scenery and a welcoming group atmosphere made it a memorable experience. A great trip for solo travellers and groups of friends alike.

It was an amazing exprience. We could not have had a better guide. The time flew by with all the activities and eating. The trip to Tortuguero was way out of my comfort zone and I loved almost everything about it! Then from there it just got more fun. The weather for the most part cooperated. The hanging bridges, the zip lining, the white water rafting. I mean I loved it all. The food was also a big plus. Even with food allergies, there was always plenty to be had. Costa Rica is a beautiful country filled with wonderful people.
