    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive feedback with us Maya! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your Costa Rica: Hike, Bike & Raft trip. We're especially pleased to hear that your local leader Jonathann, made your experience excellent. We take great pride in our local leaders, so it's wonderful to know that Jonathann's expertise and enthusiasm had a great impact on your enjoyment. While this trip is quite active, it has been designed to balance a mix of physical activity and relaxation, allowing our travelers to immerse themselves in Costa Rica's natural beauty while enjoying various adventures such as white water rafting, biking, hiking, and more, so we appreciate your reccomendation that the trip is suited for those looking for moderate physical activity. Using public buses for travel between destinations allows our travelers to experience the local way of life and minimize our environmental impact, and we're glad this aspect of the tour resonated with you. Similarly, we aim to use comfortable and clean accommodation which is locally owned and managed along with showcasing the local character of the destination, ensuring that our travelers can rest and recharge for each day's adventures. We appreciate your highlighting the small group size, as we belive our small group adventures with like-minded travelers creates a sense of community and camaraderie and is something we value greatly. Thank you again for sharing your experience, we hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!
