"The Buena Vista Villas was superb!  Beatifully designed and decorated and with spectacular views. Our concierge, Kleber Cruz, was great. The Arenal Lodge was nice, the location was great and views of the volcano were spectacular.  Nice pool and grounds with trails and a very pretty butterffly garden.  All your drivers were great.  The zip lining with the horse back riding was lot's of fun and the rapelling was as well (they really do a great job including a very good lunch). The fishing was very good as we got 3 sailfish and 5 or 6 tuna over our 2 days.  I have gone out on a number of charters in the states and in the Caribbean and would highly recommend capt Juan Carlos and the Blue Pearl. He worked hard and caught as many or more fish than the others out there."

Mark Dephillips from West Chester, PA

"The only disappointment was not meeting up with you!  This was one of the best trips I have ever taken.  The attention to detail & logistics were spot-on!  Our fishing was wonderful – we had a guy named Danny Rauz on the boat with us the first day.  He was the best “mate” I have ever had on a boat – he was prepared for anything, spoke good English, and really new how work with my fly fishing. On my last day I finally got a sail on my fly rod…a lifelong dream! I will refer all of my fishing buddies & fly fishing shops I deal with to you! Thank you again for making this trip a reality."

Dan Hansen from Covington, GA

"The Tulemar property is a truly awesome place. The view from the Casa, the service from the staff, the food at the restaurant, the location. I really don't know how you could improve it. We will be back next year in January. Some might consider the trip to Manuel Antonio from the airport lengthy, but we enjoyed every minute of it. Costa Rica is such a beautiful country. Granted the roads could be improved some, and the new bridges along the coast will be a great help, but, I would suggest to people, relax and appreciate it, after all you're on vacation. Trying to build better roads through the mountains would be too much of an impact on the land. Sorry Chris, I don't know how you could improve it. If it was any better we could not have left. We'll be back. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 12"

Gary & Melinda Falgout from Caren County, LA

"The Club del Mar was one of the nicest / best places we have ever stayed. The staff was so nice, the rooms were top of the line. We can not wait to go back. Fishing was excellent! We wish we had more time to do more tours, but there's always next year."

Lauren Fox from Atlanta, GA

"It was so amazing.  Everything was perfect !!  The folks couldn't have been nicer and everyone was on the ball as far as our itinerary went.  We got to take advantage of both boats so it was fine. No problems there at all.  We took our catch to MarLuna one nite and Gran Escape one nite.  We also ate at the plane and at the hotel.  Our fav by far was Gran Escape.  The folks on the boats and the guys who run it were just the best.  They really could not have been more hospitable.  I think we can say that for the whole country !  Our son went out with the locals who worked at our hotel bar so they all had a really fun time partying.  It was great for all of us." 

Karen & Bob Townsend from Boerne, TX

"Every one of the tour leaders was engaging, and friendly and highly knowledgeable. They knew how to add just the right things to the trip to make it fun for the kids and adults. I can't really think of anything that could have improved the experience. On a scale of 1-10 (ten being best) how would you rate your vacation experience? a million!!!! This was the best vacation! 10! "

David Band from Takoma Park, MD

“I want to come back and go deep sea fishing and would like more information and seasonally advice from Chris.”

Jerry Donald from Colleyville, TX

“The volcano exploded right after we caught a fish so I took a picture in front of it. You can see the smoke and the fish!!! Thanks again for everything.”

Amber Barry from Oklahoma City, OK

“I enjoyed the kayak fishing very much… Ralph is really into fishing which makes it very good... the only problem was the wind which made things difficult at best but Ralph and I still made do quite well. I would recommend this tour to any person who knows how to fish…”

Mark Hyner from Bluffton, SC

"I wanted you to know how very, very much I appreciate all your help and all your suggestions because they worked out INCREDIBLY. Thank-you. James my trip was sensational. I have to send you pictures especially the fishing trip. I caught a 50lb rooster fish. The "Talking Fish" boat absolutely rocked. Due to this, I have given your email to quite a few friends of mine to contact you regarding their trip to Costa Rica. So if you get emails for a trip, they are people I have referred to you. I know you'll set up a great time for them. I will definitely be in contact again when we come back for another trip."

Nanette Parris from Palm Harbor, FL

"You have made our trip extremely wonderful. You worked so hard on our reservations and answering our questions. You made great choices for our excursions and the company to handle our tours. There was not one minute that we didn't feel prepared while we were in Costa Rica"

Steve McDill from Matthews, NC

"Our morning of sport fishing with Captain Randy aboard the Talking Fish Boat was great. The whole family came along, and nobody got sea sick. We caught lots of Red Snapper, Yellow-fin tuna, and Hammerjacks. The crew prepared some fresh sashimi on board, and it was delicious."

Steven J Heyman from Orange, CT

"The trip was awesome. We caught 6 roosters from 60lbs to 80lbs. The boat crew were great. They made sure we had fun and went to where the fish were. This was not resort fishing, it was the real deal."

Torey Kimberl from Atlanta, GA
