Nayara Springs

The whole Tortuguero experience was brilliant.

TK, Leighton buzzard

Clearly the beauty and and profuseness of the country was inspiring.There were multiple highlights including some which we ourselves arranged, chocolate and vanilla farm visits especially.

DS, Cardigan

Most memorable experience: “Very difficult to be specific but an eclectic selection would include:- Boat trip excursion with excellent guide from Tortuga Lodge; Singer/Musician at Dinner at Arenal Nayara Hotel; Crossing Arenal Lake (clear blue skies and we were the only passengers on the boat) and then scenic drive to Monteverde”

VB, Sloane Sqaure

So hard to pick out an individually memorable part. If pushed then we would have to select the two river wildlife trips (Tortuguero and Cano Negro) and overall the friendly nature of everyone that we had dealings with. Also having the wildlife right on our doorstep at each accommodation was very special.

SY, Solihull

Highlight: Seeing the wildlife in Costa Rica. There are so many beautiful birds and amazing animals that it's hard not to see them. The guides were exceptional, especially William and Carlos and not only found the wildlife but also told us about other aspects of the countries. I particularly enjoyed having the private tours and we would do that again.

JW, Weymouth

A brilliant mixture of hotels. Excellent standard and great service. Beautiful settings and well located. 

LW, NW11

Most memorable experience: "Diversity of the country. Outstanding bird life and flora and fauna.Very friendly and helpful people."

RC, Lymington

Costa Rica as a whole was very impressive in its attitude towards eco-tourism. Actively reforesting areas that have previously been de-forested and setting up new areas of rain forest/park.

BC, N19

Highlight?: This is difficult! We loved Tortuga Lodge, Bosque de Paz and Aguila de Osa Inn. Made new friends who we will remain in contact.

MG, Uckfield

Although the transfers were quite long the mix between eg driving and taking a boat were good and made us feel we really saw the country. 

ME

Highlights?: Very hard to select 1 or 2 things. However would probably say Travelling to and staying at Tortuga Lodge and the excursions into the Jungle (in 3 days we saw over 60 different birds / mammals / reptiles !!!) and also the Zip lining at Arenal - breathtaking and exhilarating - what views and what an adrenalin rush ! ! ...Costa Rica is an amazing country - small, but with so much to offer and so diverse ! The people were very friendly and welcoming and the weather was great !

TW, Glasgow

Commitment to Eco-Tourism and Respect for local people evident throughout

MD, Southam

Highlights: Monkeys and macaws on the trees by our bedroom ,and the White water rafting to and from Pacuare Lodge and swimming down the river!

JB, Ashford

So many brilliant memories but if we had to pick one it was witnessing the sea turtle lay eggs on beach in Tortugero.

PG, Galway

Highlight?: All the wildlife, absolutely amazing

DJ, Usk

We had a really exceptional trip.  The mix of beautiful scenery and amazing wildlife made it a real adventure and yet the logistics made it achievable and stress free. Costa Rica has beaches, wildlife and lots of outdoor fun (zip lines, rafting, and ATV trails for example) which make it ideal for a holiday which met the desires of all the family.

GP, Warwick

The treks throughout the trip were superb. Excellent guides and the range of wildlife was stunning.

WRDT, Bakewell

Most memorable experiences: Waterfall rapelling at el remanso, the internal flights on tiny planes, everything was good

SM, Knaresborough

Turtle watching tour, zip wiring and white water rafting. Also enjoyed seeing all the wildlife living in its natural habitat.

IH, Ipswich

Everything was good.  An unexpected highlight was the chocolate tour to the local conservation chocolate plantation in Sarapiqui.

DS, Coventry

Most memorable experiences: White water rafting. Watching the turtles at Tortuguero. Everything about Montverde.

RA, Lichfield

Everything felt "easy" and stress free. The most memorable aspect was driving through fantastic scenery, so much to see!

AF, Cardiff

Highlights? Bosque Del Cabo, Rafiki and Maquenque, absolutely wonderful.

ASP, Bexhill-on-sea

Highlight?: Tortuguera boat trip, rafting Arenal, hot springs Arenal, zip wires Monteverde, running on the beach in Uvita - so many lovely memories

SL, London

Most Memorable Moment?: So many highlights that it is difficult to pick any one out - but the evening trip to the Turtle beach at Tortuguero, seeing Green Sea Turtles laying eggs and returning to the sea, was quite incredible.

DD, Holmfirth

Most memorable experience: "The helpfulness of the guides and the appreciation they showed for us making the effort to visit their countries."

SD, Horsham

Highlight? We did a night hike in Monteverde and saw snakes, sloths, owls.

SW, London

Costa Rica is a stunning country: in terms of its people, who are so warm and welcoming; its ethical basis and its phenomenal wildlife. Snorkelling at Cano Island was truly memorable as was having toucans feet away at La Paloma. We are so pleased we added on a partial transit of The Panamá Canal: the experience was one we shall never forget. The other think to mention is that Kathryn organised the tour exactly the right way round.: we met others who had done it differently and they regretted doing so.

JS, Brighton

Highlight?: The wildlife - watching the turtles lay eggs and a swimming sloth.

ID, London

Costa Rica with Journey Latin America is one of the best holidays we have ever had, if not the best.
