One of the best we have ever had. The whole trip was memorable for two main reasons – the variety of scenery and the superb wildlife. (more)Tim Graham
Included memories are - Spider monkeys swinging jumping above us to reach the trees on opposite side of jungle river, finding red eyed tree frogs at night... an incredible display by the resplendent quetzal during a courting session (more)Paula Cooke
The stay at Laguna Lodge was an amazing start with river trips and accommodation overlooking the river. Seeing Sloths close up and watching the antics of the capuchin monkeys was fun. (more)Jean Thirkettle
From
£1,565
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing sloths close up in the wild
Tips?
Travel light and be organised with your packing (as you never have time to unpack). Bring a
good camera and binoculars, appreciate the wildlife, the flora, the scenery and the kind
generous people that you'll meet.
Local benefits?
yes.
Overall rating?
Better than excellent! (more)Sue Deeley
From
£1,017
excluding flights
I loved the jungle lodge in Sarapiqui - a 2 hour tractor drive from the nearest tarmac road. An idyllic location in the heart of the forest. (more)Jeremy Rodgers
That's difficult as there were so many memorable moments. The zipwire above the cloud forest was a massive adrenalin rush. Helping to plant trees by potting bags of soil was great too and a great bonding moment for the group. (more)Sylvia Kenna
The most exciting part of the holiday was probably the turtle egg laying. (more)Abigail Croydon
From
£1,160
excluding flights
Too many to mention, really - it was all memorable! But the most memorable parts were maybe the cloud forest, the mangroves boat trips, Copan, Tikal or the growler monkeys. (more)Kathleen Culliton
The most exciting part of the holiday was seeing the volcano Arenal in La Fortuna and the beach at Manuel Antonio. (more)Vanessa Adnitt
Costa Rica is a lovely place to visit but had we known it was so expensive we
would never have signed up to a holiday that didn't have a lot of included activities and meals included. (more)Ian Halliwell
From
£2,240
excluding flights
The most memorable moment was waking early in the morning to hear the strange bird calls and seeing the dawn. A holiday of a life-time. (more)Angela Wood
Achieving crossing the country from coast to coast only by bike, hiking, kayaking and rafting. A great adventure and experience. I loved it! (more)Alejandro Hahn Menacho
From
£2,940
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Very difficult to pick, all 4 areas visited were full of wildlife and adventure. Corcovado was the best part and the 2 hour boat transfer in was a lovely surprise. Zip lining and tarzan swing in Monteverde was exciting. Seeing first tucan.
Tips?
Leave long enough at each location so that you can fit everything in and wait for changes in the weather.
Take a dry bag (back pack)
Take bags to separate out damp/wet clothes in the suitcase as things don't dry in the humidity.
Local... (more)Ann Clark

The most exciting part of the holiday was the white water rafting expedition. Other activities were similarly of a very high standard in terms of competence of the instructors and equipment used. (more)Linda Whalen
White-water rafting and zip lining was the most memorable. However our trip was meticulously planned and nothing was left to chance. Considering we were moving around the country a great deal, all the pick-ups and transfers were excellent. Excellent holiday. More than happy. (more)Karine George
We were thrilled by the geology (stunning volcanic craters, rainforest canopies, tropical beaches) and the wildlife (crocodiles, motmots, iguanas lurking for breakfast scraps etc etc) (more)Ian Gavin
From
£3,329
including UK flights
From
£2,200
excluding flights
This was a fabulous trip from start to finish: we stayed in beautiful places, ate great food, saw amazing wildlife and were really well looked after. (more)Isobel Gowan
Most guides were local, most hotels had environmental policies in place, especially the lodge in Osa, which was totally off grid, and built from very local materials. (more)Yvonne Chapman
From
£400
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing magnificent rainforest from high bridges on flanks of a volcano, seeing a turtle laying her eggs, giving bottle of milk to young spider, howler and capuchin monkeys at a rescue centre.
Tips?
Don't miss out on tours which give you full experience of the natural history of Costa Rica.
Local benefits?
I think the money I paid for my tours helped support the conservation and wildlife work and that my tour helped the businesses of the hotel and restaurant... (more)Celia Home
From
£2,938
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Fantastic insight into many different cultures. Stunning and varied scenery in wonderful hot weather from the might of the Panama Canal to the jaw dropping beauty of the rain and cloud forests to the awesome splendour of the region's volcanoes and craters
Tips?
Do as much research as possible before your trip - I wished I had done more!
Try and learn some basic conversational Spanish - I wish I had learnt more!
Local benefits?
Tourism is an infant business... (more)Douglas Newlands
From
£1,800
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The wildlife, nature and the stunning diverse scenery.
Tips?
Pack well! Bring good hiking/walking boots, lightweight quick drying clothes and repellent for mountain/forest activities.

Local benefits?
Yes.
Overall rating?
Excellent. Couldn't have been better. (more)Penny Calder
From
£2,571
including UK flights
Memorable parts?
The diversity. So much was packed in - from archaeological site to coffee and banana plantations to volcano rim to tropical and temperate and cloud forests with magnificent flora and fauna. The pace was relaxed, we were never in a hurry. We have wonderful memories of Costa Rica.
Tips?
Ask for Juan Carlos Rodriguez Espinoza to be your guide and take a good camera. Many companies do the the same route in less days. Don't be tempted by the lower price you will just be... (more)James Williamson
From
£2,945
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The "adrenaline" activities - horse-riding, rafting, canyoning. Watching the children playing in the hotel pool at Arenal while the volcano puffed in the background, and feeling slightly uneasily like a citizen of Pompeii... Sitting one metre from an egg-laying turtle.
Tips?
A really strong insect repellent - ours was sold in a metal canister as it dissolves plastic, and seemed to be more effective than other people's! Definitely do the optional kayaking at Tortugero... (more)Hilary Mackintosh
