Great trip! I loved that I didn’t have to think about a thing. Lodging was beautiful. Our guide Jonathon was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the areas, had connections throughout the trip & had a good read on the group so we were all happy with his restaurant choices. Cant wait for my next trip with Intrepid.

This trip gave us the opportunity to see many parts of this beautiful country via hiking, rafting and cycling.

I usually travel solo and decided to do a small group adventurous trip since I booked last minute and had no time to plan all the details. Im not sure I’ll ever go back to doing a solo trip again. This was an amazing experience being able to explore with like-minded people. I was at ease and didnt have to think or plan anything. The tour guide, Paula, made the trip fun and easy! I highly recommend!

I had an excellent trip with Intrepid, our tour guide was knowledgeable, processional, communicative with her thorough planning of our trip, and she helped us to experience unique aspects of the local cultures we visited. I was able to relax and enjoy the wonderful places we visited knowing all of the details and planning were well take care of by Intrepid and our amazing guide.

As a result of my first experience abroad,alone it has increased my enthusiasm to travel more.

This trip was incredibly enjoyable. If you want to be active, enjoy meeting people, exploring and love scenery and wildlife with a knowledgeable guide who is also a local, then this is for you

Awesome. My third trip with intrepid. Because Costa Rica’s biodiversity of landscape and animals is so rich, I wanted to do an outdoor and active trip. This trip gave me all the ways to experience it including all the add on experiences. It’s active and I slept good each night. The free day in La Fortuna I used as a bit of a slower day since we had been go go for the first few days. Leaving San Jose and returning to San Jose were long travel days but that’s par for the course. I used it as my relaxing down time. And if you get Choko as your guide definitely trust his recommendations about additional excursions or don’t be afraid to ask for something. I had an idea and asked is it possible and he made something happen that was so local and authentic for the whole group. I stayed an extra day in San Jose to check it out. I think it’s all you need if you do the city, just not a lot going on the same way other capital cities might be. Most of my travel mates stayed extra but did more day trips out of San Jose. Great trip, highly recommend.

A wonderful and action-packed trip with a great trip leader. Well worth the money for incredible experiences and endless wildlife. Choko was a highly knowledgeable trip leader who promoted education on history and sustainable and responsible tourism and a willingness to make things work for everyone. Really looking forward to future ventures with Intrepid!

Fun trip overall with many beautiful sights and great excursions. My guide was very knowledgeable about Costa Rica. One hotel was below average (think 1 star motel: ripped sheets, bugs on arrival, walls and door dilapidated) and needs improvement. I booked a different hotel. Disappointed with Intrepid.

My daughter and I joined this tour during Christmas 2023. We had an absolute blast! We were lucky to have Allan was our trip leader. He was amazing at organizing everyone's daily adventures. The included activities, especially the rafting trip, were phenomenal! For add on excursions, my daughter zip-lined and we both rode ATV's through the tropical forrest. We also made friends with the people on the tour with us. They were awesome!! I highly recommend booking this trip!

I decided to stop just going on holiday, and start having adventures. Intrepid knows their way around Costa Rica and has all the local contacts needed to help you create life long memories.

What an amazing trip! Imalay was the perfect tour guide, she clearly loves her country and made the trip feel really fun and authentic. She’s also an expert sloth spotter - we saw 15 sloths!! We also saw quetzals, snakes, toucan, armadillo, monkeys and loads more. The activities were fun and we got to see a great variety of what this beautiful country has to offer. Recommended!!

A trip of a lifetime! I’ve travelled to many places in the world but this is the best one yet (apart from San Jose which is pretty uninspiring). Nature, abundance of wildlife, clear beaches, vibrant culture and history. Friendly people. I hope to learn Spanish and move here one day.

Very educational, packed with adventure activities and excursions

Anyone thinking of visiting Costa Rica must do this trip. It’s a full packed busy itinerary but you will not be disappointed. Leo was an epic tour leader who made the trip!

This is a very active and fun tour and Leo was an exceptional guide. Ziplining, hiking, biking and spotting wildlife everywhere. The Pacuare River rafting - a 26 kilometre string of rapids that was absolutely thrilling. I highly recommend this tour.

A great experience with so much to do and see. Great group of people and excellent tour guide “Allan Morales” who went above and beyond for all the tour participants.

This trio is a dream for an active person who wants to explore as much of Costa Rica as possible in a short time. The guides went above and beyond to ensure we had the time of our lives. I highly recommend this tour.

This was an active trip with a chance to bike, hike and white water raft. We were able to zip line, tour the volcano and relax in the hot springs. Our tour guide, Jenny, made us all feel educated about Costa Rica

Imalay is a born tour-leader!! The accommodations and activities were perfect and well-planned. Imalay is organized, smart, caring, thoughtful, and funny! Do not miss the opportunity for her to share her beautiful country with you .
