Caravan tours in Costa Rica?

Question

I was wondering if anybody has gone to Costa Rica with Caravan tours... I am leaving in a week to go there with them and was wondering how you liked your trip and did you get to see everything you thought you would... How much free time they give you ect... Thanks for your help...

Answer 1

d**n do i feel stupid... i just posted the same exact ??? except i havent booked yet... sorry about that... looks like  a great trip!!!

Answer 2

I just got back from a Caravan tour less than a month ago.  It was excellent, but I never got to see Arenal erupt due to clouds.  Day 2 you get most of the late afternoon and evening free in San Jose.  Day 3, 5, 7, 9 are travel packed. Day 4 you get 3 hours in the afternoon unless you pass on the afternoon activities. Day 6 you can stay in La Fortuna and pass on the wildlife cruise (that was awesome) and spend time at the hot springs or zip lining.  Day 8 had the most free time...Manuel Antonio in the am and the afternoon at the pool/beach.

I saw more than I thought I would.  I didn't think I would like Tortuguero, but it was amazing.  I highly suggest taking all the tours, they are all a little different.  The bus travel days can get long, but it is the only way to see CR in such a short time.  Have fun!
