My Costa Rica Tour

Visiting Costa Rica had been on my bucket list for a couple of years before I was finally able to finalize details of the trip with Adventure Life(which was to be my third trip with them). My travel partner, Sarah, had not been able to arrange a time to go until now. I decided to do the “Beaches and Rainforest” tour to give us some variety.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.

I spoke with at least a half dozen other travel companies, looking for a Galapagos cruise that fit our schedule and budget. Some companies could manage one or the other, but Erin was the only one who could do both. She found us the perfect cruise, at a fantastic price! And she has been quick and patient with responses to my many questions. So far, Adventure Life has been a fantastic company to work with!
