I had a great time! We had a great mix of personalities within our group, saw plenty of wildlife and ate lots of great food. (more)Lee Truong
The great diversity of this country, the climate and geographical changes, together with the plants, birds and mammals. (more)Alan Nunn
The highlight was Tortuguero National Park. An excellent trip; travelling for circa 3 to 4 hours every other day was acceptable and allowed approximately a day and a half at each new location. Guide was well informed, articulate and considerate. (more)Chris Schaefer
From
£3,229
including UK flights
Memorable parts?
Every day with new discoveries of Costa Rica, beautiful cycling experience, local tour leader Memo and his fantastic crew member Luís and Ronald, and variety of holiday experience in two weeks made this holiday the best I've ever been.
Tips?
Be prepared for rice and beans three times a day for two weeks ;)
Local benefits?
Yes, absolutely, in all the trips (including optional) I felt that local people were supported in their business, be it a local restaurant... (more)Agne Bajoriniene
From
£3,389
including UK flights
The most memorable was cycling through three different terrains each with fabulous scenery in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Visiting the volcano at Charco Verde in Nicaragua. Swimming in the Caribbean Sea and the next day in the Pacific Ocean in Panama. (more)Jennifer Steward
Roberto the leader and the 'bike boys' were great. Very helpful and so well organised, meals, room keys, boats, all appeared exactly on cue. (more)Martin Wolverson
From
£1,250
excluding flights
All of it was memorable...each place visited is so different... it's hard to choose. Monteverde for its lush vegetation, but boy can it get cold at night...and tortuguero for its wildlife. (more)Linda Whittingham
Seeing turtles was the most exciting part of the holiday (more)Fiona Weir
For my husband it was the amazing variety and beauty of the birds. For myself it was the excitement of seeing an armadillo at close quarters, although all the wildlife was extraordinary! (more)Kimberley and Barry Brown
From
£2,034
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Snorkelling in Caye Caulker, Belize, was an amazing experience! Nurse sharks, stingrays and turtles, not to mention oodles of brightly coloured fish, seemed completely oblivious to our presence, and Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with its dazzling array of corals and fish, was stunning. What a fantastic day! Just as good, but for different reasons, was the memorable Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave - wading through water; scrambling up, over and under rocks; and marvelling at the... (more)Laurie Munslow
From
£2,150

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
£2,165
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
I enjoyed so many things about my holiday, I had a truly fantastic time but if I had to choose I would say the hill-tribe trek, that was a great experience for many reasons, I especially loved seeing the tribes & the breath-taking landscape it was unbelievable I thought, a special experience.
Tips?
To travel as lightly as possible during the hill-tribe trek as it can be rather demanding especially the first day & make sure you have the correct footwear. Be prepared... (more)Gary Remekie

From
£2,069
including UK flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat including spider, howler and capuchin monkeys, two and three toed sloths, basilisk lizards running on water, boa constrictors, tarantulas, toucans, hummingbirds and quetzals to name a few.
Tips?
I benefitted from packing a mosquito net for the first two nights accommodation.
Local benefits?
Yes.
Overall rating?
Excellent. Couldn't have been better. (more)Penny Calder
From
£735
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
I think all of it. Loved every single minute and was extremely lucky with the tour guide (Vin) and the group!
Tips?
I would say to not expect luxury accommodation or to have hot water throughout but it is really worth it! Also be prepared that your days in Boquete
will be much cooler than the rest of the trip so I would suggest bringing long trousers and warm cover up clothes as many people on our trip got caught out
by the drastic change in temperature up in the... (more)Gabriela Stamenova
