Hi,
I returned back from the above trip the 24th September and I have to say it was fantastic.
If you love wildlife then this is definitely the trip for you.
It is an amazing experience and the scenery is unspoilt and very beautiful. We saw lots of species of birds, crocodiles, caymans, spiders a few different types of frogs, including the poison dart frog. Lots of monkeys including the howler monkey, which is an interesting experience when they wake you early in the morning. But my favourite of all was the sloth. Sometimes difficult to spot high up in the trees but lovely to watch, when you actually see them moving.
Nicaragua was beautiful with lots of colonial buildings. The people are very friendly and welcoming and I felt very safe walking round the streets of Granada. It was lovely have a horse and carriage ride through the streets and then onto a boat ride around all the small islands on the lake.
One of the highlights of the trip was the zip wire through the tree tops. Most of our group of 17 did this optional excursion and it was very thrilling especially the last one at over a mile long. I would definitely do the zip wire again if given the chance.
I have done a lot of tours with Just You and I have to say this has been one of my favourites. I had never considered Costa Rica before reading Bob Gray's review and it is thanks to him that I actually booked this tour. So thank you Bob.
I cannot end this review without mentioning our tour manager, guide and driver. Who were an exceptional team. Our manger Julia did a fantastic job. From making sure that the tour ran smoothly to looking after the few that ended up ill on our trip. Always in a calm manner with a smile on her face. Our guide Hersom was amazing. He his without a doubt one of the best guides I have ever had with Just You. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about all the wildlife and his country and it showed. Thank you to our driver Marvin who was a lovely careful driver and very friendly.
I have taken lots of photos which you are more than happy to share on your FB page. But you will have to let me know how I do it
.
A very happy Just You client
Julie
