Trip Reviews - Costa Rica
     

Having breakfast in San Jose this am...wonderful hotel and an UNBELIEVABLE trip.  I will get you some details later when I return to the USA, but we saw over 20 Leatherbacks in our 3 days in Pacuare.  We went out all three nights and helped with 4 nestings...they let us count the eggs as they came out.  We had to put on gloves and received them as they came out to check them.  And we assisted with one nest relocation and excavation of 2 nests that had just hatched.  Watched as we released 7 of the little ones into the ocean.  I’ve got a lump in my throat as I recall the experience.

Thanks for all your help...I will get back to you with more when I return...THANK YOU!

Thank you for arranging a brilliant itinerary, it was really well planned and your organising was perfect.  All our greetings and pick-ups were on time, friendly, informative and made the whole trip a very stress-free and enjoyable one.  We were extremely fortunate with nature too, working with Leatherback turtles and seeing the Howlers and Capuchins was truly amazing!

We had an absolutely fantastic time in Venezuela and Costa Rica, so thanks for all your planning and hard work. I think you will be hearing from us again at some stage for our adventure holidays, that's for sure.

We're back from Costa Rica, had a great time …

The overall experience has been fantastic and Pacuare in particular has given us emotions, thoughts and memories to cherish for a very long time. The people at the reserve are indeed fantastic and we very much admire their total dedication. Amazing.

To at least 3 of the 400 leatherbacks I've been 'midwife'...what an experience! Thanks again.

Thank you for arranging a wonderful holiday for us. It was all very successful. How clever it was how you alternated between the types of places.

Pacuare was a wonderful experience ...and the lodge in the Corcovado was amazing .. we saw loads of Humpback Whales and porpoises.

All the guides were very knowledgeable - absolutely excellent.
