An amazing adventure! I wasn't sure what to expect as a solo traveler on a 9 day escorted tour, but after meeting my guide (Carlos) and driver (William), I had absolutely no worries. Thanks to them, my trip was one to remember. Carlos was the most knowledgeable guide I have ever had the pleasure of being with and you can't... More

We used CAT to take the 1/2 day Palo Verde Trip. Daniel was our guide. I thought he did a good job. He knew a lot about the animals we were seeing. He and the boat guide did a good job at spotting the creatures. We saw Howlers (Daniel did a great job getting them to howl) Capuchins, crocs, iguanas,... More

We booked two excusions in the Guanacasta area, Costa Rica with CAT. Our contact at the RIU resort, Ericka, arranged everything well. We did the Super Combo (zip lining/ horseback / spa tour), and the Perfect Combination (Jungle river / coffee plantation tour). The guides were helpful and attentive. Be prepared for bumpy roads. ;P The kids LOVED the zip... More

My wife and I just visited Costa Rica for our honeymoon. Country and The Westin Resort was awesome. But we had a terrible experience with CAT tours. We booked an all day excursion with them to the Arenal Volcano. Our CAT Representative repeatedly told us it was the best tour they offered (also most expensive). We asked multiple questions about...

I was able to enjoy white water rafting in the Pacuare river and I tell you it was one of most extraordinary adventures I have ever experienced. Costa Rica in itself is a gorgeous place but as a...

We've traveled to CR going on 30 years now and found our place. Monteverde Cloud Forest Lodge is the peaceful paradise we need to forget our work and worries. Central American Tours has been making our arrangement and "never" let us down. They are professional prompt, courteous, and so knowlegable. I love sharing the facts they teach me. A big... More

My family and I have used CAT tours for our family vacations to CR for a long, long time now. Their service has always been impeccable; their customer service is always attentive and friendly, but most importantly, they have always made our vacations incredibly pleasant and enjoyable. I went to Costa Rica by myself this past August and did the... More

We booked our Costa Rica vacation through Pleasant Holidays and CAT is the tour operator that they use in Costa Rica. Our flight landed at night and the red-shirted CAT people were there to greet us and get us to our hotel.
