Interesting, varied and well-managed. We really experienced Costa Rican life (pura vida!) and will take home so many treasured memories. Plus we saw all the animals we'd hoped to see thanks to our brilliant tour guide, Josue.

We had an amazing tour with One Life Adventures. The tour was very well organized. The excursions and experiences were all great and enjoyable. Josue our Guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the beauty of Costa Rica with us. Throughout the tour he explained a lot about the wildlife, nature, and local culture, which made the experience even more interesting.

Really great! Good mix of mountains and beach, but wish it wasn’t so rushed- a couple more days would have been good. Had a really great guide who was very knowledgeable and passionate about animals and the nature in Costa Rica and was super informative about it :) came away with a great experience and new knowledge!

I had a great time in Costa Rica, it is a wonderful country with such great diversity. We saw an incredible selection of wildlife and met some really amazing people. I felt safe the whole time and there was always something to do.

I loved it but the hostels could have had a higher standard. Our Guide was the best tho!!! Love Valery she made everything better and made us forget about some of the downsides. The Aktives are very nice and overall I would definitely recommend and do it again.

Pia Hornig

This tour was an amazing way to explore Costa Rica. From volcanoes and the cloud forest to the beach, I got to experience many beautiful and completely different places. What truly made the trip special were the activities and the people I have met — especially the cooking class with a local family and the visit to the coffee and cacao farm. These unique experiences as well as our tour guide and the people I have met made the journey unforgettable.

Operator's comment: Thank you for your review and for traveling with us, Pia. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future!

Jule Beinker

It’s been an amazing experience getting to know both the nature and culture of Costa Rica! Especially the ziplining over the rainforest, the beaches in Manuel Antonio & swimming in the waterfall were one of the activities I enjoyed most. For only a 12 day stay there really was a lot to do/see without the days being to full. Also, our group was very lucky to have an amazing tour guide! Val’s effort in making everyone have fun was greatly appreciated :)

Operator's comment: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Jule. It was truly a pleasure having you on the tour, and we’re so happy to hear that you loved it. We’d absolutely love to welcome you again on another adventure in the future.
