This tour company comes with my absolute highest recommendation. Our representative Mariana nailed all of our requested with one small phone conversation. Our trip was extremely detailed and each detail... read more met our requests. We wanted adventure, private transfers and middle of the road accommodation and Mariana heard each detail and we never needed to tweak our stay. During our trip we wanted to make a couple of small changes like transfer times and she was extremely responsive via email. Each transfer was timely to the minute and each interaction met our bilingual needs. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat.

  We booked our 11 day summer holidays in Costa Rica through Green World Adventures and Jean Carlo was our travel designer. Everything was planned to the tiniest detail and according... read more to what we wanted to do during our stay (and it included a lot- nature, adventure and a bit of glamour: hikes, canyoning, zip lines, surf lessons, coffee and cocoa plantation tours, day and night animal watching tours, hanging bridges tours, volcanoes, thermal spa etc.). We have traveled to many destinations with different agents but Green World Adventures was by far the best tour agent experience we had so far! What was distinctive was their rate of responsiveness (they had a 24-hour what’s app line!) the fact that they were addressing all of our concerns/ideas, they were very flexible in rescheduling or adapting the initial schedule as per our needs (even last moment), they were flagging the things that we needed to take into consideration (such as restricting weather conditions, driving tips and instructions, scams to avoid etc.) and all that with extreme politeness, care and good vibes. Throughout our trip we felt secure and that GWA had our back! We DEFINITELY recommend GWA!! Thank you Jean Carlo and the whole team that made our experience unique and unforgettable!

  Mariana from GWA represents the best of the Costa Rican people and travel consultants. She was responsive, dialed in and made the changes we requested perfectly. Highly recommend! J

  Our trip to Costa Rica was amazing. The itinerary was perfect, enabling us to explore so much of this rich and bio-diverse country. The organisation was impeccable, with all transfers... read more arriving on time and everything running smoothly. Care for wildlife, the environment and local communities was evident throughout and all guides were knowledgeable and passionate. We could not have asked for anything more. Many thanks Green World Adventures! Julia & David

  We booked the Eco Tour to Costa Rica through GWA and it was amazing. Jannik was our travel coordinator/sales agent and he was very responsive and helpful. The... read more trip was packed with really fun activities.

Some things to note:
The Whitewater Rafting was a blast.
The "Lost Canyon Adventure" (rappel down huge waterfalls, jump into pools, zip down guided rappels, downclimb the canyon walls and river boulders, and hike up through the rainforest) was awesome but exhausting! Our guides were funny and encouraging and just great!
The guided Arenal Volcano Hike was disappointing as it was very rushed. We barely had time to take in the views.
The Hot Springs were fabulous after a long arduous day!
The Horseback Riding in the Cloud Forest was fun with beautiful views but was really challenging (rocky, muddy both uphill and downhill). Definitely not for beginners. The hotel (Cala Lodge) in Monteverde was our favorite of all the lodging. Wish we could have stayed there longer.
The Canopy Tour was one of the many highlights of the trip. It was so much fun and again we had great guides.
Samara Beach was a great way to end the trip. The water was beautiful. Kayaking and Snorkling with Allen was great and relaxing.

All the included meals were great.
All the transfers went smoothly.
I recommend dining at Casa Esmeralda in Samara. Excellent food.

Suggestion for GWA: Offer hotels with restaurants on site (if not in a town where restaurants are easily accessible). The amount of daily activity meant that on some days we would have like to have eaten at the hotel restaurant for dinner instead of having to go out.
