Costa Rica Wildlife safaris and game drives Trips

Oh my gosh! I had the absolute best time in Costa Rica. Our guide Juan Carlos had ALL the knowledge. We asked him everything, history, culture, plants, animals, birds, trees, weather and he had all the answers. My favorite thing was his sense of humor. He always made us laugh and feel welcome. The drivers were amazing too! Ronny was able to spot all the wildlife without any binoculars. Christian was super friendly and engaging as well. My favorite was watching the Green Sea turtles nesting. Such a magical experience. The whale watching was incredible. Whitewater rafting was a blast and lunch was really delicious on the shore. So many amazing memories and such warm and wonderful people. I highly recommend this trip to anyone and demand JC as your guide. Just absolutely the best.

My experience with Explore was the best I could ever have. From the beginning of the organisation till the last day of the trip it was excellent. It was my first trip with Explore, but it will definitely not my last one. The group was great, 10 people, 2 couples, 6 solo travellers. Our guide Juan Carlos was excellent, he gave us a feeling of being a family , he knows everything about animals, plants , Costa Rica. He was always there for all needs. I would like to thank your company and all people who made this trip so wonderful. I can highly recommend your company and Juan Carlos as a Guide Sincerely Manuela Sass ( a German living in Vienna)

Amazing holiday; would fully recommend for wildlife lovers. The trip had many highlights and wow moments, but the nicest thing was seeing animals in the wild whilst not negatively impacting on them.

Our tour guide, Diego was extremely knowledgable and excellent in organising everything to run smoothly. Our driver, Christian, was also very good as he kept us safe with his driving on some difficult roads. The tour was excellent with lots of interesting wildlife, walking and cultural visits. My only complaint was the last hotel that we stayed in, which was next to a busy main road and several miles from the beautiful Pacific coast. Otherwise the rest of the accommodation was fine.

This was the holiday of a lifetime. Explore have put together a fantastic itinerary balancing wildlife spotting and group activities with time for individual / optional excursions. Our guide Diego just made the trip, with his enthusiasm and amazing wildlife knowledge. He effortlessly dealt with any unscheduled changes out of his control and was very supportive and helpful with any group members who were a little ill. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he was always very approachable and had a great sense of humour. We saw so much wildlife, which had been the main focus of us booking this trip. The highlights were Tortuguero, Savegre Cloud Forest and Manuel Antonio. Also making wonderful memories from white water rafting to cooking traditional food with a local family. We also met amazing people along our way, from the very friendly locals to our travelling companions.

I have been so impressed with Explore and the Wildlife Tour of Costa Rica. We had some trouble initially getting out to Costa Rica, but spoke with a lovely lady called Yvonne. She was so helpful and reassuring and made my life so much easier. The trip itself was amazing! The country is stunning and they really pack in as much as possible into the two weeks. We saw so much Wildlife, more than I ever expected. Allan, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and had an expert eye for spotting the animals hiding in the Rainforest. He went out of his way to make the tour special and he was easily the best tour guide I've had on any holiday ever. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore Costa Rica and see it's extraordinary Wildlife. This has fulfilled a life long dream of mine and I'm so thankful for Explore and their remarkable tour. I would definitely consider travelling with you again, and hope to do so in the future!
