Best trip ever!

This trip was amazing! We saw so much wildlife and beautiful sunsets with breathtaking views everywhere. Our favorite place we stayed was Corcovado Wilderness Lodge. The staff and tour guides were friendly and full of so much information. They catered to our every need and ensured we had an incredible experience. The treehouse suite was floor to ceiling windows where we saw the wildlife yet private and perfect. Visiting Cano Island for snorkeling was the best experience on the trip. The sea turtles actually came up and swam with us! The Koora Hotel in Monteverde cloud forest was also a great pic by Arturo. They were very accommodating and friendly. They even ordered a beautiful birthday cake for my birthday dinner (dinner was amazing) and sang to me. Visiting the animal sanctuary next door to them is the biggest hidden gem. Ask about seeing the sloths. I saw 6 sloths on my 60th birthday there! As perfect as these areas were I would pass on La Paz waterfall garden if you prefer to only see wildlife in their natural habitat. I got the feeling of it being like a zoo. Just not my thing. The gardens were beautiful though. Arturo put together the perfect trip for us. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smooth for us. I highly recommend using his agency to ensure you get to experience exactly what you want.

Overall, A great time!

Arturo, We had a very smooth trip, including all transfers, which made all the difference. There were 12 people involved, that alone is a task. I really liked the Volcano Paraiso Hotel, the food at the pool was great. The hot springs were great. I also liked the Volcano Inn, our rooms were cute and poolside. In Arenal, our favorite would be the rafting the Sarapiqui class 3-4. It was great and a great way to beat the heat. We ate at good restaurants in Arenal: Nene's and Pollo Fortunano..The only thing I didn't totally love was ziplining, It was a long hot day, we love the water and it didn't have any. The next day we went on our own to the waterfall swimming and rope swings. Fortuna is a great little town. The bus to MA was long, we were prepared for it. And told it was all part of the journey! Manuel Antonio was a great beach town. We loved the location of the hotel, the hotel itself was good. The hotel restaurant was just ok. The food in MA was so-so. The transfers were great and on time and friendly, we liked the Arenal Star driver..Roy. Overall, A great time! We thank you and are passing your name out! KAren FARnell

Bucket list family vacay

We had such an amazing experience with Arturo from Rainforest Tours who organized our incredible trip to Costa Rica. From the remote stay near the Rincón de la Vieja active volcano, where we hiked to a mesmerizing waterfall and went white water tubing down the Blue River, to the stunning Las Mareas beach area with its pristine beaches perfect for snorkeling, and finally, the awe-inspiring Arenal region where we explored hanging bridges and relaxed in the gorgeous and rejuvenating Tabacon Natural Hot Springs. His knowledge of the area and where to stay along with his attention to detail in planning each activity was invaluable and made this journey truly unforgettable. He was extremely responsive making things worry free. He literally called me back within 5 minutes when I needed him! He truly thought of everything to make this family trip unbelievable. Our kids say it was their best vacation yet! Highly recommend!

Top Notch the whole way 

The Tubing tour in Blue RIver was one of the coolest things I have ever done.  Watching sea turtles hatch in Las Marenas was pretty cool too.  Blue RIver was a really cool remote small.  The kids loved it.  Dreams have amazing, beautiful properties. Tabacon Thermal Spa was my favorite.   Expensive drinks but the resort is nicer than anything in Hawaii  All the activities that Arturo planned for us were super fun.  The Tubing tour in Blue River is a must along with the Hike to the cathedral waterfalls.  The White water rafting trip a lot of fun near arenal.  We did some offshore fishing in Las Marenas Blue River resort is so cool.   The staff was amazing. The resort is small so I got to know everyone.  I'm fine with the basic cabins; the location was A+.  The monkey was outside our door in Dreams at Las Mareas kids basically high fived them everyday.  

Thank you!

Hi Arturo, I hope all is well with you and you are enjoying your time with your family. Thank you for all the arrangements and support you provided for our trip to Costa Rica. All the drivers were terrific and very helpful. Our boys, Asma and I, had a fantastic time. We are planning to be at the Travel show in Chicago in January. We hope to see you there. Happy New Year!

Amazing country, amazing trip!

Good afternoon Arturo, Just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU for the amazing trip that you organized for us to Costa Rica. From the very start when I was inquiring about the potential of a trip, to how accommodating you were on splitting the payment invoices among the group, to the amazing daily reminders of the next day's itinerary during the trip, your attention and effort was very much appreciated. The tour companies that you selected for the trip were all exceptional. Pick up for each adventure was always on time, the transportations very clean and reliable, and the guides were all very knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely be passing on your information to friends and family that are interested in visiting Costa Rica in the future. Pura Vida! -Julie Chen
