Green World Adventures

I can't imagine having visited Costa Rica without the help of Green World Adventures. Mariana made our trip incredibly easy and low-stress. We didn't have to worry about booking anything ourselves, from hotels to transportation to guided hikes, and the locations were all truly amazing. No day felt overly busy, nor slow. Mariana struck a perfect balance between fun activities that were matched specifically to our interests and down time, allowing us to explore the the towns, beaches, and even the beautiful hotel grounds of each location when we weren't out spotting wildlife in the pristine forests of Costa Rica. We also loved the guides that were scheduled for each of our hikes. They were all incredibly friendly and we wouldn't have seen 90% of the wildlife we saw without their trained eyes. The hotels were beautiful, the guides were incredible, the locations were lush with biodiversity, and we even befriended many of our shuttle drivers (though spending the prior year working on my Spanish certainly helped)! We fully intend to return to Costa Rica in the future and Green World Adventures will be the first place we contact. A special thanks again to Mariana who was so responsive and thoughtful in crafting the perfect visit to Costa Rica.

We’ve just returned from our first trip to Costa Rica, and it was a fantastic experience! While searching for a short getaway to celebrate our wedding anniversary, we stumbled upon the GWA Eco Adventure Trip. The itinerary included all the activities we love: white-water rafting, canyoning, horseback riding, zip-lining, and snorkeling. From the moment we booked, GWA impressed us with their professionalism and warmth. Gaby reached out promptly to answer our questions and help us prepare. The coordination of the entire trip—hotels, transportation, and activities—was flawless. Everything ran smoothly, down to the minute. Traveling in July, during the rainy season, had its perks. The lighter crowds meant we had more intimate experiences—like a private horseback riding tour that felt incredibly personal and special. On the day of our anniversary, GWA surprised us with flowers and chocolates - a thoughtful gesture that made the day even more memorable. Thank you, Gaby and the entire GWA team, for an unforgettable anniversary trip. Pura Vida!

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 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

This was our first trip to Costa Rica. It was so nice to have everything taken care of. This included transportation, hotel rooms and tour guides. All I had to do was provide my air, travel arrival and departure dates and what I wanted to see in Costa Rica. Green World Adventures took care of the rest.

My husband and I had the most impeccably organized 13-day honeymoon planned by Veronica. She made sure we were able to do everything we wanted and it was planned with love and top notch detail. Everything from transportation, local recommendations, and tours with knowledgeable and courteous organizations, made this trip truly unforgettable. Thank you Veronica and GWA for making our honeymoon the trip of a lifetime and showing us the true Costa Rican experience. ¡Pura Vida!

I took a trip to Costa Rica with my 63 year old mother for 8 days. We chose to use GWA to curate the perfect experience for both of us and we were so impressed with how everything was handled. We had a custom itinerary made for us by Veronica and she was so easy to work with adjusting it for what we wanted to do. Everything on the trip flowed seamlessly and we were blown away with how professional, friendly, and knowledgeable all of our guides were. Additionally, it was so nice to know that GWA does their research on the sustainability of the tours they use so we can rest easy knowing we were using tour operators that are doing their best to minimize their impact on the environment. Lastly, the 24/7 support offered by GWA was greatly appreciated. They are so attentive to your needs and quick to respond and support you in whatever way you need. Our trip was absolutely perfect and we would recommend using them to anyone if you are trying to plan the perfect trip to Costa Rica! Pura Vida! 💜

What a phenomenal trip GWA Adventures put together for my son and I. We had less than 3 weeks from the time we bought our tickets to the time we would land in CR for our first time. I have vacational control issues and typically love doing all the planning, but there was just no time. GWA was recommended to me and so I went for it..and I am so glad we did. Every detail was organized and planned out. We were greeted at the airport with a welcome bag full of goodies and a printed itinerary for our 9 days. I never realized how spread out all our adventures were so I was especially grateful we had all our transportation arranged with reliable, a/c vans with highly competent drivers. We just got to kick back and enjoy the ride and scenery. Every activity was top notch with incredible companies. The lodging was a bit basic, but it was just fine for my son and I. If I were with my husband, I might want a little upgraded lodging. Luis, our trip organizer, was great to work with and answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly. The only thing I may have tried to change was our trip to the hot springs. I had thought they were “natural” springs, flowing from the river but it was at an establishment with pool-like spas. It was nice and we got a delicious dinner, but I was looking for a more rugged, earthy experience. I would have tried to exchange it for a trip to the hanging bridges or La Fortuna waterfall. I truly felt like GWA gave us the best Costa Rican experience with all the variety of locations..from downtown, to the raging rivers, to the lush green cloud forest, to the sandy beaches. It was just what I hoped it would be for my sons first international trip!! Thank you so much GWA for showing us what PURA VIDA is all about.

Green World Adventures was excellent in culminating such an adventurous itinerary that fit our wants! My family had the best vacation, and we owe it to GWA. Our guides and drivers were professional, timely, fun and so personable. Within 9 days, we got to experience much of Costa Rica effectively and care-free. From spotting sloths, exotic birds, poisonous snakes, monkeys, and iguanas to hiking, swinging on ropes and relaxing in hot springs, we felt we did it all! Thank you so much GWA for such a truly, enriching experience in your beautiful country! We hope to visit again and book your services!
