              From beginning to end everything was perfect from planification (no matter which agent was available to help us), to the final shuttle to the airport hotel. Everything was on time with professional, friendly drivers and the activities were so much fun. Our hotels were wonderful. I will be recommending Pacific Trade Winds to anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica. Should we return we will definitely go through them because our experience was excellent.

              If you want the very best experience for your vacation in Costa Rica choose Pacific Trade Winds! Setting up our trip was easy. I filled out a questionnaire that allowed them to know our budget, possible activities, and hotel ratings. They provided a sample itinerary and for us only needed a few minor tweaks. Our 10-day trip was perfect. Everything, from transportation, and activities, to hotel experiences was excellent. Our private transportation drivers were always on time, professional, and friendly. All of our drivers had extensive knowledge about the areas we visited. The activities were well planned. The hotels were very good to excellent. I highly recommend this company and will use them again if/when we return to Costa Rica.

              PTW gave us the most amazing experience! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful country, friendly people, and all the fun adventures that Pacific Trade Winds found for us. We felt taken care of the entire trip and had no worries (which is how a vacation should be!). Were looking forward to visiting CR again some day soon and Ive already been recommending PTW to our friends to book their own awesome adventure. We opted for a cloud forest experience and highly recommend ziplining and sky walks in **********. Also visited Arenal Volcano, hiked and swam in ********************, floated the Rio P**** ******* and saw 14 sloths!

              My husband and I used Pacific Trade Winds to book our 11-day honeymoon after a recommendation from a friend. We are truly so glad that we went through PTW! Their staff was outstanding, accommodating, and very communicative. They addressed all of our requests and the changes that we wanted to make. We were impressed at how quickly they would respond to us and take care of what we needed! The itinerary and vouchers that they sent prior to the trip made it very easy to understand what would be happening day-to-day.The places we stayed, transportation, and excursions were all wonderful! We were continuously surprised at the level of service we were provided and how the trip fit our style. Honestly, the convenience of having PTW do all of the planning and executing for us made this trip even better than if we had done it on our own. Their expertise was appreciated and the professionalism of all the people we encountered was great!We would absolutely use PTW again and would highly suggest that others do as well! We cannot thank PTW enough for how memorable this trip was!

              I had excellent service from this company in summer 2023 for a trip for me and my 13-year old son. I chose them because of excellent reviews I saw before booking my trip and comparing them to itineraries from 2 other Costa Rica-based companies. Most of the accommodations and excursions exceeded my expectations. All of them were just great. Book them!
