DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari

Great mix of high adrenaline and chilled activities to suit all the family.

JS, London

Highlights?: There were so many. Seeing a toucan land in the tree just by our room at El Remanso. Walking down the trail at Monteverde Lodge and a beautiful Morpho butterfly fluttering past in the sunlight. The boat ride at Tortuguero.

KS, Uxbridge

Highlight?: All the wildlife, absolutely amazing

DJ, Usk

Fantastic

The noises and sounds surrounding us all day and night, created by all the wildlife was fantastic. Never heard anything like it and loved it. The Costa Rican hospitability is something to live up to they have it right!

St, Swords

Highlights? Rafting out of Pacuare, seeing the turtles, kayaking in Tortuguero, zip wire trips, hiking in Pacuare and relaxing on beach in Santa Teresa.

MBW, London

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

ASP, Bexhill-on-sea

Most Memorable Moment?: There are a few but being so close to wildlife during the journey was amazing!!!

JW, London

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

Costa Rica lived up to our expectations in every way. We all had a fantastic family holiday.

EJ, London

The whole Tortuguero experience was brilliant.

TK, Leighton buzzard

Highlights:- The wildlife in Costa Rica is incredible and it is everywhere you go and very immediate.  Add to that beautiful scenery and very friendly people and it is a great holiday destination.

MJ, E14

Highlights: Bird watching at Tortuguero and snorkelling on the reef in Belize which was simply amazing.

GW, Winchester

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

SM, Knaresborough

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

MD, Southam

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

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

ID, London

Amazing experiences

So many memorable experiences - flying into Tortuguero, watching turtle hatchlings race to the sea, the boat ride out of Tortuguero, all the animals (including a mummy sloth with baby attached climb down a tree in the middle of a restaurant and then back up again), Monteverde scenery, Tamarindo beach, our son learning to surf, snorkelling in Cahuita and seeing a turtle and a nurse shark, how lovely the Costa Rican people are.

SM, Chiswick

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

RA, Lichfield

Highlights:- Hard to choose, but the noises and sounds surrounding us all day and night, created by all the wildlife was fantastic.  Never heard anything like it and loved it.  The Costa Rican hospitability is something to live up to they have it right!

ST, Swords

We have many good memories and it's difficult to identify a single best experience. Each of the Lodges we stayed at impressed us by their environmental policies. Each had comfortable accommodation ranging from quite simple to quite extravagant. Importantly for us they were each located in different types of habitat so although there was some overlap in what we saw, there were sufficient differences for us to be continually interested.

NW, Carnforth

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

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

SW, London

Most memorable experiences: "Snorkelling off the island at Corcovado seeing the marine wildlife then returning by boat seeing dolphins and turtles in the sea; Kayaking excursion form Tortuga Lodge (extra cost but worth it) - sitting watching spider monkeys a few feet a way form us drinking juice form the fruit, with caymen in close attendance."

DO, Bedford

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

So much variety of wildlife and vegetation

AB, Sandy

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

AF, Cardiff

It was all pretty memorable but the view of the Arenal volcano from our boat transfer across the lake sticks in my mind. It was a completely clear day and the volcano was steaming. Also the sleeping toucan on the El Refugio Twilight Tour. Also Rio Perdido was a lovely place for a couple of days relaxation.

EW, Newport

There were so many highlights it is difficult to single one out. The wildlife, around hotel gardens etc and not just in the reserves, was particularly impressive. Viewing it from a boat at Tortuguero and Cana Nedra was particularly enjoyable. Tthe countryside is varied and beautiful so that even the transfers were a pleasure.

VC, South croydon

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

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