Unleash Pura Vida: Costa Rica 8-Day All-Inclusive Escape!

Trip was absolutely a fantastic experience. Hiking through the rainforest, volcanos, zip lining, white water rafting, walking across hanging bridges above the treetops. Our guides Tilago, Hayro, and Abraham were so knowledgeable and took such good care of us. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience, would do again, highlight of the trip was the tour guides making every tour possible and accessible. Very knowledgeable of the area and the culture and went above and beyond. Hayro was our tour guide for most of the days and he was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Would highly recommend booking a tour with Hayro.

This is a well organised program, based in San Jose, thus for some days it needs a few hours travelling to the places. We have been with Hayro for 4 days. He is such a nice person, always explains things well and before hands. He is very knowledgeable, perfect English, very friendly.

Hayro was our guide and he was very informative during our drives and our hikes. We had him for 3 of our 6 days and would highly recommend him

This is a well-planned package with everything handled for you seamlessly. If you are looking for rest and relaxation, this is not your trip. if you want adventure and to truly see Costa Rica, this is it!! Think rain forest, jungle walk, monkeys, hanging bridges, catamaran, water falls, zip lines, white water rafting and way more! We were blessed with Lenny as our daily guide - she is amazing, funny, knowledgeable and was a huge part of us having such an enjoyable trip. Many thanks to the company, Summer Travel Costa Rica and especially to our new CR friend and guide, Lenny!! Only negative - we stayed at the Radisson, which is very nice but because of it's location, you will need to use the hotel taxi or Uber to shop or go out for dinner as nothing is walkable from there.

This was honestly one of the best tours I’ve ever done in my life. From start to finish, everything was smooth and so well organized. We felt supported and taken care of throughout the entire experience. Our guide most days was Lenny, and she was absolutely incredible. She had an amazing depth of knowledge and shared so much with us. On top of that, she went above and beyond by taking us to a few extra spots along the way and even making it possible for me to fly my drone. Her expertise, kindness, and great personality really made this tour unforgettable. The logistics were also flawless—pick-up and drop-off were seamless, always punctual, and perfectly managed. The days could be long, with some early mornings and late evenings, but as long as you’re well rested (and you can even catch some sleep on the drives), you’ll be able to enjoy every moment. Overall, I cannot recommend this tour enough. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed, and Lenny truly made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you have the chance, don’t hesitate—this is a tour you won’t regret!

The days are very long due to heavy traffic. Longer than we expected based on the itinerary descriptions. The buses hold 15 or less passengers which is very nice. We had exceptional drivers/guides. Viator was good about keeping in contact and adjusting when necessary. We were not pleased to see our hotel was not in an area good for walking, but it did have an excellent inexpensive restaurant for lunch and dinner. We enjoyed every activity we participated in.

Superb drivers/guides. Very informative and we could tell they loved this country. The hotel was more than adequate but not what we would consider 4 star. No refrigerator or change of sheets in the 7 nights. Terrible coffee machine

The tour was amazing. Everything organized all we had to do was show up. Best tour guide ever was Lenne she was the best. We will be going back to Costa Rica and using Summer Travel.

All activities are good. The only uncomfortable experience was the tipping thing for rafting. The guide of rafting is good and professional. However, the way that he was after tips made me very uncomfortable. When we were done, he said that I would be there to have my tips. He made a joke saying don’t give my tips to him (he pointed to other guide). So I reminded myself to tip him the first thing. After I saw him at the meeting point, the first thing I did was to tip him. Based on my check on google before we went to Costa Rica, the tip to rafting guide is $3-$5 so I gave him a CRC 2000 which equals $4 and he said: “I don’t want your money, you take it home” in front of everyone. I felt like a fool and a beggar. I realized that he was unhappy for the too little money. Then I asked someone else who was on the same raft how much should the tip is and he mentioned maybe 10% but I didn’t know how much the event cost and he said maybe cost $80 or $100. So my husband took CRC 5000 which equals to $10 to find him and gave to him and he took it. Later when we were in the van, the guide came over to look for someone and he told a man: “If you want to tip your guy, he is still there.” The man then got out of the van and went to tip another guide. I have been tipping every one and tipped CRC 5000 at zip line place. I did not mind to tip him more than CRC 2000 if I got different info. He wanted more than CRC 2000, he could say it in different ways instead of rejecting it in front of over 20 people to make me feel so uncomfortable.
