    This was a wonderful trip. If you are looking for a great family getaway with everything taken care of, we wholeheartedly recommend this package. This trip keeps you moving from one place to another (a plus in our opinion), and we never had any issues with our transportation. Our drivers were always on time and wonderful. Our guides and activities were awesome. Accommodation was consistently fair, but you should not expect fancy... which is in keeping with the price. We were happy with every aspect of this tour.

    The overall trip was great! The lodges in Sarapiqui and Mt Arenal were awesome as they were "in the sites" and offered great great hiking trials right out your rooms. The style the trip was arranged is more laid back compared to some other packaged tours I've been on, as they arrange at the most a few hours or half a day's activities and you have free time for most of the afternoons. The drivers/tour guides in different locations are different instead of one same person accompanying you for all the time. All drivers/tour guides were super friendly and nice and we had a great time!

    My 13 year old son and I went on this tour as a middle school graduation gift. We had a great time. The rainforest is an amazing place to visit and learn about natural history and see enourmous trees, plants and plenty of wildlife. It was the beginning of the rainy season, so we did have rain most days, but we were able to enjoy the trip. The hotels were all clean and accommodating. Our air conditioner did not work properly in the first hotel and they moved us to another room promptly. We especially enjoyed the white water rafting in La Fortuna and the ziplining in Monteverde. All of of transports were on time and professional. Monteverde was my favorite destination. I do wish that there was more planned at Arenal stop. We did add a chocolate tour at Trimibina and a coffee tour at Monteverde. Check out the "Hidden Valley Farm" wood stove pizza for lunch in Monteverde.
