Costa Rica was our 4th trip with KimKim and it was wonderful. We explored the Arenal volcano and lake in La Fortuna, the cloud forest in Monteverde and the beautiful coast and Manuel Antonio State park in Quepos/Aguirre. The trip included hiking, horseback riding, viewing wildlife and enjoying beach activities. The Koora Hotel was exceptional.
Hotel Review
First-class boutique hotel with spectacular views and even better service. We enjoyed a two-floor suite which was beautifully appointed. The food was exceptional and the staff was kind, attentive and always accessible. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again.
Activity Reviews
Must do. Jay was our tour guide and was the best guide we have ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the flora/fauna of the region. Beautiful hike, wonderful guide.
spectacular falls. kids loved swimming in the pools and climbing over the rocks. must see.
This was just ok. This experience is likely dependent on the guide. we were disappointed that we did not learn much about chocolate and coffee harvest and production and the quality of the tour and food was poor. would skip this.
This is a must do for the area. would have preferred a longer guided hike in the park with more time to enjoy the beach. the main trail is very crowded with tourists and guides. we did see numerous birds, sloths, monkeys, insects and diverse landscapes.
Nice activity if you'd like to see the beautiful coast line by boat. The crew were very good and the catamaran is spacious and well maintained. we enjoyed snorkeling in the cove and were able to view dolphins jumping alongside the boat.
Shephali!
It is wonderful to hear that the whole family had fun! I specially love that you were able to enjoy highlights of the country, such as Arenal and Manuel Antonio, while also enjoying lesser known gems such as El Tigre.
It was a pleasure to plan and support a trip for you and we hope to continue taking you on adventures anywhere you go πΊοΈ
