We used CA Tours for our vacation to Playa Flamingo. We stayed 10 days at the Magaritaville resort. We booked 3 fishing trips. A 4 wheeler and zip line trip. Lazy Lizard catamaran and sunset tour. A a trip to an animal rescue and rain forest trip. We were greeted at the airport for pick up. Our driver Steven was so helpful on all of excursions. What a greeting with signs with our names on it. Pickup and drop off for all of excursions. Food and drinks were included on every excursion and they bent over backward to make us feel welcomed. You want to take all the worry out of planning a vacation you need CA Tours! Communication was excellent. Everyone we were with were bilingual so not being able to speak Spanish wasn’t any issue for us. We would recommend this great company and its incredible staff of professionals.

It is a long day,...
It is a long day, approximately 10 1/2 hours with the travel time. Delivered as expected. Saw both climates of Costa Rica and lots of animals; sloths, pumas, toucans, and tree frogs to name a few.

Great day out
Seeing the sloths and unusual species. Some amazing photos on my camera. Not my phone. Howler monkeys, how much noise. Capuchin monkeys. Great guide. And a lovely meal in middle of the day. Would recommend this trip to all.
