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
£3,449
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 ;)

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
£1,815
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...

£1,017

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

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.

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

Tourism is an infant business... (more)Douglas Newlands
