Today, we decided we were going to rent bikes so we could get around a bit easier, and not have to pay for taxis each time we went to town. It was the prettiest morning since we have gotten to the beach, and I was excited to get some sun! We rented bikes from a hotel down the road from us, for $5 each for the day, and headed into town. We wandered the town, went to the store to buy some souvenir coffee, sat on the beach for a bit, and eventually had some lunch at one of the local restaurants in town. After relaxing a bit out of the sun, we headed back to Cariblue. Bikes are definitely the way to get around! Although it was a bit hotter than in a car, it was a much more pleasant way to deal with the horribly bumpy road. We relaxed by the pool, read a bit, and then went down to the beach to sit and watch the surfers as the sun went down. We decided to eat tonight at a little Italian place we had seen the day before on our walk, but biking in the dark was a bit more difficult than we had anticipated - you can't see the potholes at night! I realized that if you follow a local on a bike, you are much better off. They seem to know where those potholes are! After dinner, we returned our bikes and headed back to our hotel to get packed up for our early pickup the next morning.
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.
