Costa Rica Adventure Tours

Have just returned from the 250km Coast to Coast and loved every single minute. From the moment you arrive, to the moment you depart, everything is organised and run meticulously by Carlos and his support team. Food was great and accommodation excellent, especially El Tigre, which was just awesome. Saw all sorts of wildlife. In terms of the challenge - don't underestimate how hard the first three days are. The humidity and heat hit us hard so managing your water, electrolytes and energy levels are key. The 14 km climb on Day 2 was the hardest but the downhill sections make it all worthwhile. Few other tips to consider that will help. . . . . 1) Small towel to wet in waterfalls and keep on your neck. Keeps you cool and prevents sunburn. 2) Carry a small ziplock bag of rice to dry out phone charging socket. Mine constantly refused to charge due to the humidity. 3) Take plenty of spare plastic bags to separate off wet clothing. You will be wet permanently either through sweat or rain. 4) Carry enough cash for tips and misc purchases. 5) Take photos but also enjoy the moment with the encounters. The wildlife of Costa Rica is breathtaking. If you are undecided just go for it and book. Trip of a lifetime and can't recommend it enough

This was an amazing adventure, really tough but the kit list is 100% correct. The flora and fauna are amazing I'd really recommend it.

Top Tips - if you’re not used to cycling get some hill training in . You will thank yourself later . Also incline walking to help with the hiking . It certainly helped me . Wow what an adventure ! Great trip and really well organised . Carlos was an excellent guide who had all our safety and well fare in his mind . Plus him and Memo really are excellent cooks . Kept us well fed ! Didn’t think it would be possible but I actually put weight on during this trip lol . We lost 2 days rafting due to the weather but nothing we could do about Mother Nature . And I appreciate that Carlos the tour leader had to make the decision but it was always with our safety in mind . What stood out for me for the trip is the planning and organisation . We didn’t have to think about anything as it was all arranged for us. I like that the money also is spent on supporting local communities long the way. I would recommend this trip to anyone with above average fitness as otherwise you will struggle a bit .

This journey provided both mental and physical challenges but also created some great, new friendships. I’ll not lie, there were times I wanted to quit - especially during day 3’s gruesome cycle ride up to the PAH. But we just kept each other going and all completed the journey. And our guide Carlos made it run so smoothly. This journey shows you another side to Costa Rica, raw beauty rather than a tourist’s perspective. We were lucky with the weather, but it can get really hot and very wet. It was never cold enough to worry about out getting wet in the rain so we didn’t have much use for ponchos or rain jackets. And we wore sandals and trainers most of the time. I took cycling kit (shoes, pedals, seat, helmet) but you can do it as easily without - just bring padded shorts. And a willingness to laugh, have fun and share the experience with friends. It makes it all worth it.

Costa Rica is such a warm culture with amazing food, endless scenic landscapes and animal sightings. If you like to be challenged and are ready for an adventure, this is the one to do! Our group would agree that Danny Boy, our guide, made the trip! The amazing crew was there and really made it feel like home- set up tents, took care of water, snacks and made every type of plantain you can imagine! Danny was incredible- he knew how to work with the chemistry of the team, kept a pace that was good for everyone and literally knows everything about the country and every bird, animal or insect you can imagine. You will trek across the country without a car, see amazing wildlife, mountains and beaches. Don't be stressed if you don't feel you are "good" in all of the types of activities. Just come in shape and be ready to rock.

This trip was fabulous in every way. Great guide and support, excellent group of people to travel with, good food and perfectly executed itinerary. Bringing a backpacking type sleeping mat and headphones for some areas was a great tip. Water shoes for the rafting portion is a good call. Highly recommend this trip if you are so inclined.

Great experience all around. The guide (Jeff S) was very friendly and fun. He kept us organized, informed and prepared for each day’s activities. The coordination between hiking, biking, rafting and kayaking was good. The food was delicious and plentiful. He was obviously very experienced. The hiking and biking was challenging but I knew what I was getting into when I signed up. The rafting guides (Ninja) and his brother (sorry, blanked on his name) were professional and helped us negotiate class 3 and 4 rapids safely. I don’t hold it against them that they said their grandmother could paddle better than us, they were likely right…

Every single element of the trip was superb, organisation and logistics in particular were flawless and our guide Carlos and support crew Memo were excellent. Book a trip to Costa Rica with these folks, you won't regret it!

For those with adventurous spirit, the Costa Rica Coast to Coast is not to be missed. Our guide and support crew were fantastic enabling us to travel under our own steam, hiking, biking, rafting and kayaking across and through the Costa Rica rain forests seeing and experiencing all it has to offer. One word.....amazing!

The most impressively organised fascinating varied tour across the whole wonderful country. Hard work at times but so worth it. All staff excellent along with their food and information. The trip leader Juan Carlos was off the scale in his general and specialist knowledge, graft, care, and fun company. We had 7 in the random group (2 x US, 3 x Canada, and us 2 UK) and 7 people went home thrilled with memories for life.
