    This tour is designed for travelers who like unstructured time to plan their own adventures, especially active sports. Our previous visit to Costa Rica offered more programming that centered on nature(especially bird watching) and culture, which was more aligned with our interests.

    Our trip was well organized, our guide Jeff Young took good care of us all while still giving us a lot of freedom to make choices. All our guides were so well-informed and clearly dedicated to the area where they live, and we learned so much from them! I loved the places we visited, and was delighted with the accommodations that were chosen. EXCELLENT TRIP!!!

    My experience both with the Tour, Natural Highlights of Costa Rica National Geographic Journeys and booking the Tour through TourRadar were excellent. TourRadar was clear, concise, helpful, and quick to respond to questions. I would definitely use them again.

    A wonderful experience. Gave us a real taste of the central Pacific area of Costa Rica. Lots of activities to choose from depending on how active you want to be. Our guide, Marco, was exceptional.

    The one-week itinerary in Costa Rica gave us a great overview of the flora and the fauna. The guide was excellent and all participants were very pleasant and enthusiastic. The hotels are OK (except the one in La Fortuna- a moldy dive). Despite National Geographic partnership, I did not see any difference with other GAdventure Tours. Most activities and meals were not included, which significantly raise the costs of the trip.
