    I have to say that I've used a lot of Adventure companies over the years (Exodus, Kumuka etc...) But the level of service and care GAdventures provided us on this trip has exceeded all expectations and previous travel experiences.

    · December 30th, 2015
    Our first adventure trip with G Adventures is definitely a blast. We went to Costa Rica in December 2015 for 9 days, in a group of ~20 including 4 families. Our tour guide Jeff Young is outgoing, caring, knowledgeable about local activities and food options, and above all genuinely enthusiastic about his work. We had tons of fun visiting waterfalls, soaking in hot spring pools, kayaking in Lake Arenal surrounded by lush forest, walking in a cloud forest, learning about coffee/chocolate/sugar production in a local farm, sailing on a catamaran in Manuel Antonio national park, and more. Having a Spanish-speaking guide who arranged the many activities and various transport/lodging logistics is indispensable for a packed but exciting vacation. Having flexible time at each destination allowed families in the same group to choose whatever they liked best. Group dinners together are good (and budget friendly). Overall we would highly recommend this tour to families and friends.
