What travellers are saying
- Aliana CNew York City, NY1 contributionPlanned a last minute excursion of 13 with Amandas help and suggestions ate some really good food and enjoyed ourselves. So helpful and responsive highly recommended. Pura vida!Written May 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- S Garg2 contributionsLuis did an excellent job of explaining the various areas as we passed by them. Monteverde, Arenal and Manuel Antonio all were beautiful but be prepared for long drives. Jesus and Luis made sure that we felt comfortable and safe in a new country. A beautiful country like Costa Rica is enjoyed better with tour guides like Luis.Written February 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- froglagSpokane, WA1,354 contributionsGreat trip on a cruise excursion doing the Caribbean Train, Boat and Rain forest walk. Had a wonderful tour guide who gave us lots of information. The bus tour gave us a bigger picture of the area showing us the banana plantations and how the farming of the bananas works. Very interesting. The train ride showed us more of the area where we got the chance to see a couple of sloths, and lots of howler monkeys, along beautiful birds. We then went for a boat ride where we got to see more howler monkeys, beautiful birds, even a crocodile sun bathing. The guide had his animal radar on as he would tell us and show us where they were. Great personal skills to make the tour wonderful. After coming back from the boat trip we got a bowl of delicious fresh fruit which was refreshing on a warm day. The guide also shared some roasted chocolate beans and told us where we could find them in the pier area and we got some 2 bags for $8.00. A deal over the tourist places. He also took us on a rain forest walk where we got to see lots of monkeys, flowers, plants and cocoa. Nice walk to see a variety of things. I would highly recommend this tour, they did a great job giving us a good idea of the area of Puerto Limon.Written March 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Vanita J3 contributionsLa fortuna fall with adrenaline group. The trip was supposed to be a walk in the ecological park but instead we got to spend 5 mins in 2 small rooms with one type of butterflies and just one type of frogs. The guide was full of himself and not good at explaining anything . The waterfall itself was beautiful !!Written October 22, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DimitriMiami, FL7 contributionsMelida organized a wonderful trip for my and my daughters, she understood the goal and planned a full weekend of adventures for us. We did white river rafting, catamaran and snorkel trip, a guided tour of Manuel Antonio and enjoyed the Parador hotel from top to bottom. We couldn't have asked for a better time and Melida was extremely detailed and provided all the information needed for every adventure. See you soon!Written May 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ian C2 contributionsBoreal River has perfected the 5-day Wilderness First Responder course. Their partnership with Coast to Coast Adventures was excellent. I am a Physician Assistant with 22 years of experience in Emergency and Orthopedic medicine. I learned A TON of practical skills for responding to illness and injury in the wilderness.
The transportation by raft to and from the site was down the beautiful, wildlife-rich Paquare River. We stayed in gorgeous, rustic accomodations and were treated to delicious, nutritious food every day.
This course is a MUST for anyone wanting to guide others in an outdoor environment or just wants to be prepared for anything on their own adventures.Written April 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This trip has been planned for a year and they pull this one month before the trip? My daughters plane ticket was $1,200 I rearranged schedules and plans, I spent a ton of money to get all the items on their long packing list and they won't even honor the commitment they made! I will not be able to afford to send her if I'm paying out of pocket with less than one months notice! They offered to still let girls go but only if paying out of pocket and not with GS funds meaning many girls won't be able to go. Outward Bound should be ashamed of themselves.Written November 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
