Best of Costa Rica tour

The natural environments that you’ll travel through in Costa Rica are fragile; the cultures and traditions precious and often the communities we pass through are reliant on tourism. This trip visits national parks and important wildlife reserves including Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (one of the most diverse tropical cloud forests in the world), so it is important that we plan our trip in a sustainable manner.

We are aligned with “Leave No Trace”, an international organisation that has set the global standard for outdoor ethics. Through targeted education, research and outreach, its mission is to ensure the long-term health of our natural world while maintaining sustainable recreation in nature.

We choose accommodations for this program which focus on environmental policies where possible, for example when available we book the Volcano Lodge in Arenal, they run a reforestation program called, “Leave your mark on Costa Rica ”, where guests can be involved in tree planting .

Our company-wide Waste Management Policy encourages our travellers to take their own reusable water bottles and reusable stuff sacks to avoid single-use plastics. We follow this same philosophy in our office as well as on the tour: in our London office we have banned single use coffee cups and water bottles. We use recycled paper in our office and we are working towards reducing the amount of paper we use, as well as recycle all of our paper and plastic waste.

We were the proud recipients of the inaugural Australian National Travel Industry’s Environmental Achievement award for our Responsible Travel Guidebook. This detailed guide to responsible and sustainable travel is provided to all our clients before they travel.

Under the guidance of World Animal Protection, we have developed our Animal Welfare in Tourism Code of Conduct, advocating for cruelty free animal encounters.
