  We had the most fantastic trip, everything was so well organised and we had such a variety of activities and trips - lots of hiking and wildlife along with the white water rafting, zip-lining, coffee plantation and some relaxation time. Accommodation, locations and guides all brilliant. Wouldn't have changed a thing - a truely wonderful experience in the most beautiful of countries. Can't recommend this highly enough

  Everything worked really well from when Felipe picked us up from the airport in San Jose to our departure. You will spend quite a lot of time travelling but this is essential if you want to see as much of Costa Rica as you can and this tour really gave as so much more than others on offer. The drivers of the shared transport minibuses were punctual, drove carefully and were very pleasant and helpful. All of our tours and guides were really great and we saw and learned so much more than people who tried to explore the national parks by themselves. Some of the descriptions of our itinerary in Arenal were not completely accurate - it is 500 steps and not 300 down to the La Fortuna waterfall, and the nature walk in the Arenal Volcano Park is not on mostly flat trails - there is even a sign at the start of the trail which warns that it is a steep incline! At 65 with dodgy knees I decided to give the waterfall a miss but enjoyed the volcano walk with the aid of a walking pole, proper walking shoes and a guide who was careful to go at a pace within my ability. Felipe had recommended that we visit the Jaguar Rescue Centre in Puerto Viejo - they don't actually have any Jaguars there but this was a real highlight of our tour - you must go there to see baby sloths and monkeys!! Tortuguero at Mawamba Lodge was great even in terrible weather and storms (the worst they had had for years apparently) and Laura our guide was amazing - so enthusiastic, informative and fun.We even saw turtles hatching on the beach and scuttling down to the sea. Accommodation and meals provided as part of the tour were generally very good - we particularly loved the eco lodges we stayed in and especially Cala Lodge in Monteverde. Hotel Los Lagos in La Fortuna is a big commercial hotel but its series of hot springs and thermally heated swimming pools more than made up for that! However, on our first evening there we ate a la carte in their restaurant and the food was terrible! Much better and cheaper to get a taxi to the nearby town for $8 where there are lots of restaurants. We had chosen to stay at El Faro Hotel in Manuel Antonio but this was rather disappointing compared to everywhere else we stayed - the location is very close to the National Park, and the hotel staff and swimming pools were great but the hotel is up a steep hill, the accommodation itself was very tired and breakfast was the worst we had whilst in Costa Rica. Overall, we had a brilliant time and would definitely recommend Green World Adventures.

  Well organised w more luxurious hotels than used to - not sure I needed a whole family room to myself! Potential choice w organised trips may have improved it? Pre booking...

  Great Company! Better deals than when is done directly to the hotel or tour company and more importantly a very different approach towards custom made tours.
