What was good about our local partner based in Costa Rica?
All transport and drivers were great, punctual, polite, careful and clean vehicles Loved all tours except the catamaran tour in Quepos/Manuel Antonio as had expected to snorkel and see a few fish but on arrival told water too cloudy for snorkels so just swim if we wish, life jackets tied around our middles so when husband landed in water, the jacket rose up sharply and scraped away the skin quite badly on both arms. This affected rest of holiday. Also they gave us lunch at 10.45 and dropped us back around 11.30 to wait half hour for transport back to hotel ! But really loved the guy who did the horse riding to waterfall tocari !
What could our local partner based in Costa Rica improve on?
Giving drop off times and how long tour/ journey is Mostly we were so early to next destination that we had long waits for check in- at least 2 hours
What did you think about the guides or drivers on your trip?
See above
What advice would you give to other travellers planning a trip to Costa Rica?
Loved Manuel Antonio especially the beach. I would make more time for that Saw a lot of wildlife just in hotel grounds. The horse riding guy was very passionate about his lifestyle, his country, the horses and the countryside and made good effort to look after us well and give us. Good experience and a good lunch
What was the most memorable part of your trip?
Horse riding to Tocari waterfall, Manuel Antonio beach, snorkelling in Canos island , seeing sloths, quetzal, hummingbirds
All pick ups on time for transport between hotels and for booked activities Booked hotel was good. Only one thing that would have been helpful is to know the drop off time too and perhaps not get us to the next location quite so early and sometimes there was a wait of a couple of hours or more before we could check in
