"We had an awesome time with this company!!! The guide (Alex) was bi-lingual and super helpful. He would dive down and pick up sea creatures for us to see and touch. We were provided some awesome pictures of our kayaking on CD. When we returned home it seemed the photos didn't read on the CD and t..."hey emailed them to us within minutes of emailing them about our dilemma. NOTE to self bring SPF no less than 60. We were quite rosy!!! Would use them again and refer to anyone!!!

"This trip was an amazing way to experience a large portion of Costa Rica. We were able to stay at 4 different hotels and do everything from zip lining to horseback riding to kayaking to white water tubing to hot spring soaks to massages at the beach. We bonded with the group that we toured with an..."d shared photographs as well as experiences. Just make sure that you bring a good camera as well as waterproof disposables. We had to rely on one of our fellow travelers for the great shots! Also, take plenty of beach clothes for the last 4 days. And make sure you take a waterproof jacket for the Monteverde cloud forest. It was raining and cold! Another fantastic thing to during the last 4 days is to take the werner-sauter hike that the hotel offers. It is lead by the grandson of the owner (Alvaro) and was a hi lite of our trip. He showed us amazing animals as well as how to survive in the wilderness. We tasted fruit and leaves from the trees and even had a chance to taste termites...

"This was a hi lite of our trip to Costa Rica. Alvaro was an informed guide and taught us so much about the eco system of the area. We saw monkeys, tarantula nests, trees and plants. And the most amazing view at the top of the hill overlooking Samara and Carillo beaches. He even refreshed us with..." fresh pineapple and watermelon at the top. We went on the afternoon tour and saw an amazing sunset.... Awesome!!!
