1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Thanks to our great guide Pedro, all our visits - and nature walks in particular-where memorable. As a family, the most exciting activity was the whitewater rafting.
2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Quick dry clothing and swimwear is essential as drying facilities are not available and repacking wet gear every other day is not great.
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Taking our custom to locally owned businesses and walks in conservation areas are hopefully good ways to benefit local people. The family cooking session in particular was a nice touch.
4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Very good stay made incredible by our very friendly, very knowledgeable and hugely helpful tour leader Pedro F.
Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your vacation to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
This trip takes you to many protected natural habitats. Monteverde for example was founded as an agricultural community in 1951 by a group of North American Quakers; they cleared virgin forest to create verdant pastures ideal for dairy farming. These environmentally aware settlers were conscious of the danger that unrestricted settling and farming could cause to this precious habitat. Consequently they established a small privately-owned wildlife sanctuary, which has since grown to become the internationally-renowned Monteverde Cloudforest Biological Preserve. You will also visit a coffee plantation where growers belong to fair trade co-operatives.Partnerships: As a company we support The Travel Foundation, a UK charity that has been established to promote responsible travel practises throughout the whole of the travel industry. We also work with a number of charity partners who work in the destinations that we visit; including Friends of Conservation and Born Free Foundation. We partner with many small grassroots projects throughout the destinations that we visit - they all share our responsible vision.
For every person who travels with us to Costa Rica, a contribution is made to the Fundacion Neotropica, which protects the rainforest and educates people about conservation.
