What Our Customers say

We had a great trip home, although we miss Costa Rica very much. We still dream about it every night! Anyway, we want to thank you for the great trip. Everything was really well organized, nice places to sleep and to eat and we have seen a lot of things in 4 days. In Tortuguero the local guide was very experienced and gave us the opportunity to see many turtles laying eggs, and he was great on the boat trip the next morning. He spotted animals I would never have noticed myself, like tiny bats on a tree and a Caiman in the water. Seeing the turtles lay their eggs is probably one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

Review: Two Volcanoes Hiking Tour

Maxwell SummerleeOutdoor Adventures is perfect for those travelers looking for something different, for something extraordinary, for something totally unique. The one day, one of a kind, dual volcano tour of Irazu and Turrialba Volcano is hard to describe because of how breathtaking it is. After gazing at the surreal and moon like landscape of Irazu's craters, we decided to take the more adventurous route to Turrialba Volcano; a zigzagging dirt track across the mountain side. Remember to buckle up and hold on tight!

Leaving our 4x4 at the last house on the road up to Turrialba Volcano we hiked the rest of the way with our packed lunches, a sense of adventure, and two amazingly friendly and knowledgeable guides. The view at the summit of the volcano's three craters is worth every step, only made better by the walk into the steaming and still active crater and to top it all off, a volcano picnic! I couldn't have imagined anything more surreal. For the price, the friendly company, and the experience, Outdoor Adventures tours cannot be beat. And these guys literally take you off the beaten path! It's the only real way to transform yourself from typical tourist to adventure traveler.
