Exploring -- river safari!Manatus is a dream! The staff is fabulous and friendly, and the food and lodging are delightful. Our room was simply but elegantly furnished with four poster beds sporting lovely netting. The grounds are lovely and well-maintained. There is a nature hike right on the grounds (although I'm not sure I'd advise going it alone -- we got lost, and there were snakes and spiders aplenty to watch out for). Looking out at the river from the beautiful blue infinity pool is a great way to end a full afternoon of adventure.
On our first night, we went to the ocean and were privileged to locate a giant sea turtle laying her eggs. After some time and effort, she carefully buried them, and then slowly made her way back down the sandy beach and out into the waves. It was nice to know that this experience is thoughtfully managed in a way that nurtures and protects wildlife, while at the same time building human understanding and care for these magnificent creatures.
Jess was terrific and patiently guided us to make what we feel will be a wonderful family adventure.

Jessica was extremely helpful and generous with her time. She was very responsive to our questions and comments and in a very timely fashion. She worked with us in partnership to plan a trip specifically for us and our wants and needs.

Just as she did last time we booked with Adventure Life, Franny really listened to what we wanted for our trip and went the extra mile to help us build the perfect itinerary.

What made our Costa Rica experience great was the wonderful places we stayed and transportation to get to our different areas to visit was excellent! The white water rafting and the snorkeling & dolphin watching were really fun!
