Amazing! The best day we had in Costa Rica! Don’s Vacation buggy was a breathtaking way to experience the real Costa Rican lush rain forests. We had our own private tour of the most beautiful areas of the country that we would have never seen on our own. First, Don introduced us to all the sights of Manuel Antonio and... More

We were picked up at our hotel by Don who gave us a quick tour of stores in Quepos. We then drove through palm plantation while Don gave us a overview of Costa Rica. The short hike to the suspension bridge and first waterfall was pleasant. The suspension bridge is not for the faint of heart. The waterfall and pool... More

You've already read many glowing reviews of Don and Vacation Buggy, so I'll be short. The reviews are all true. Our tour (my wife and I) with Don was far and away the highlight of our trip which included several days at both Arenal (glorious) and Manuel Antonio. Don's knowledge is excellent, where he takes you is remarkable, and frolicking... More

We spent 10 days in Costa Rica, both Arenal and Manuel Antonio areas, and the Vacation Buggy Jungle Waterfall Tour was by far our best day of all. We ziplined, rappelled down waterfalls, rafted, kayaked, hiked --- and YES, this was the BEST. I am a retired travel agent and would recommend this to anyone who wants a one of... More
