Your private driver will meet you at the airport or your hotel and escort you to your first destination. He describes the culture and the country and shares little known facts on the way. An example of just one of our tours: You arrive to the river where your guide meets you to go over safety rules and make sure you are comfortable and ready for your experience. You start your adventure down the class III and IV rapids with an experienced guide who demonstrates his skills navigating down the river. Hold on, smile and enjoy!! You will stop midway on the river shore for a unique lunch Pacuare river style! After lunch you continue down the river where you meet indigenous families and see native wildlife. Look for turtles, birds and sloths! At the end of the tour we meet up with our driver to take us back to the hotel. Pura Vida!! Well Done!!

Jonathan made it special and fun for all of us but always prioritising safety ( we had a child with us ). It was my first go at rafting but it won’t be the last !! I will be go back and I will want to try a more challenging river ????. I would definitely recommend Jonathan and his services. Pura Vida

It's an undeniable fact that I don't write reviews - ONLY in in case when I'm really fascinated by the experience. And this journey with Costa Rica DMC was one of that very rare occasion. I took a 8 pax group ( mostly friends) to Costa Rica from Europe in 2021 April - despite of the fact of the cancellation/PCR testing risk of covid. I guess I don't have to mention that the preparation took a long long time - many people with different wishes and different concerns. It took me a month to agree with all the terms - during this 30 days more than! 90+ emails were exchanged with the Tour Operator. Irene Azofeifa, our account manager was super patient. She could actually satisfy all our needs ... and changed the itinerary multiple times due to the moving focus ( ppl were dropping out from the team, new were coming in, new flight had to be chosen ...etc.). And on top of all she surprised the team - she was waiting for us outside at the airport to welcome us and to accompany us to our first accommodation :) We even received covid kits from her ( small bag, disinfectant, masks, map, etc..) we appreciated it a lot! So I have a 5+ rate to communication, support and also very quick response time. And about the journey - it was literally the dream we dreamed about. Literally everything was taken place in the very same order and with the same quality we agreed on. We travelled through the whole country in 16D/17N tailor made and personalized joinery - for a very affordable price (this was the very best pick in the market I can assure you about). From San Jose to Tortuguero and then Puerto Viejo, then to Arenal Mountain (rappel) , Monteverde ( zipline) and finally to Tamarindo. And also a BIG thank you goes to Alejandro to our guide and driver who stayed with us for the whole tour. He was super prepared and could always figure our our needs. Beside being a good driver he was a professional guide who knew EVERYTHING about the nature and the wildlife. He almost became our friend :) From all perspective I would give a 5+ to this Company. And for sure if I return ( which is highly probable) I will travel with them again! You should not hesitate to choose this Tour Operator - Definitely and literally the BEST! :)
