Costa Rica

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our travel company was extremely responsive to any of our e-mails and questions both before and during our trip. They were always courteous and professional. We liked the level of customer service they provided. They had great suggestions for activities on our trip, and they were very flexible if we needed to change those activities based on our interests (such as private tours). We liked the personal touches they provided, such as calling us to welcome us to Costa Rica and having a special birthday cake made to celebrate my husband's birthday.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Who knew bird watching could be so fun?! We had activities in mind that we wanted to do in Costa Rica, but also wanted some suggestions from our company. They recommended nature walks with a guide where we would leisurely stroll through the woods looking for whatever wildlife we could find. We did a day tour and a night tour, both completely different, but equally as exciting. The most memorable part of our trip was spotting the infamous Quetzal in the Cloud Forest! It is pretty amazing the things the guides could spot day and night in the forest.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

A lot of tours were in large groups with tourists of very different activity levels at baseline. So, my husband and I changed to private tours while we were in Costa Rica to get more out of the rest of our experiences. I would recommend booking private tours up front for moderate to strenuous actives such as intense hikes, kayaking, etc if you don't want to be held up by others.
