1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The wildlife and the stay at Rio Pacure lodge which was remote by a river in the rainforest2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
To be aware that accommodation is expensive in Costa Rica and you do not get a lower level of accommodation for your money than in some other countries - not the operators fault3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
yes4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very goodRead the operator's response here:
Thanks Chris. We are pleased you had a great holiday, it was a pleasure organising it for you and your family. Yes it is a good point about accommodation - thanks. Costa Rica has a lot of eco lodge style accommodation and are certainly a different standard to some other countries. In 2023 Costa Rica's popularity was at a massive high and the limited number of accommodation options means that prices are higher than what you may have found in 2018 for example.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Volunteering at the animal sanctuary, Venado caves, white water rafting, all the guides and their animal spotting skills.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take cagoules for the regular downpours and torches for frog spotting/ night safaris. Try to pack light as there is a lot of moving around. Use the local laundry to clean and dry clothes after wet activities/ tropical rain storms.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Some parts did. The kids saving the rainforest definely supported conservation. A range of companies, big and small were used to provide the transport, accommodation and activities.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very good, very well organised, we were always collected as expected, the itinerary was reasonably accurate and detailed, we were able to do all the activities requested and all but one was what we had hoped for or better than expected. All the guides/ transfers were very punctual, polite, helpful and friendly.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
