2:30am: It's been two days since our wedding, and now for a full day of travel. Our flight leaves Spokane at 6:15am and we arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica at 9:30pm. What a journey it's going to be!!
By 4:30 am, we made it through security and waited for our flight. We both sat and watched the sun rise over the Spokane Mountains into a soft pink and blue sky highlighting small wisps of clouds.
After many hours of flight and layovers, we were on our last flight to San Jose. Night began to approach and about 45 minutes away from landing the sun began to set. From our airplane window, you could see the most beautiful horizon line as the sun went away for the day. The earth was black creating a harsh line against the sky which bled out into a deep burnt orange color and then blended into a rich sky blue. There was one dominant star in the sky. We made a wish!
We landed and immediately joined the bustle of a busy airport. We made it through customs, found a taxi and prayed that US dollars would really be okay.
We made it to the Hotel LeBourgerac which was a lovely little hotel that felt like it was in the middle of nowhere within the city because of all of the turns the taxi took in the dark, and it wasn't busy in that area.
Adventure Life took care of everything! All we had to do was show up when we were supposed to, which made our first trip to Costa Rica largely stress-free and incredibly fun. Our trip reps, Hannah and Mariethony, were helpful and responsive, getting back to us by email usually within a few hours. Our accommodations were all great, and we got incredibly blessed with some absolutely stellar guides and drivers.
Our Jungle & Beach trip was an excellent balance of adventure and rest. We got to try out a lot of different activities, including snorkeling, hiking, white water rafting and kayaking, while also partaking of some rest around the pool or by the ocean. We enjoyed seeing and exploring the beautiful Caribbean side of the country.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.

COSTA RICA a trip of a life time travelling round this beautiful country. All went like clockwork even when the weather was against us and all transfers seemed to be part of the holiday not a chore. Would definitely use Adventure Life again having previously used them 20 years ago!!

Our Costa Rica trip was amazing! Kassandra planned everything and the excursions, hotels, overall organization were outstanding. Everything worked out smoothly, the excursions guides were knowledgeable allowing us to see so much of the fauna and flora of the country. The hotels were great as well, all in fantastic locations and with beautiful views.
