What travelers are saying

"Mario Marin is a gem!!! Tom and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip with him and driver Pablo. His unbridled enthusiasm and knowledge about all things Costa Rica kept us excited day after day! He is a wonderful person with a happy, friendly disposition, and impressively articulate and well informed. As a guide he was able to spot and identify birds that we could just barely see. As for the itinerary, it was the perfect amount of time in each location. We saw all the different monkeys and even the elusive Quetzal! Thank you so much! This trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us. Josh and Wild Planet Adventures will always be highly recommended by us!"

What travelers are saying

"Rachel helped me organize a trip to Japan to see our son. What started out to be a 3 person trip, ended up being 15 of us! We were traveling from all over the States and arriving at all different times. She put all of the pieces of the puzzle together and we had a fabulous time! She could not have been more patient, flexible or diligent. When changes in schedules needed to be made, people needed to be added on, Rachel took it all in stride. She was fabulous!"
