Last December, on an impulse, I purchased a Living Social trip to Costa Rica that was organized by Costa Rica Descents. Our trip was in April, and as the date approached I became very nervous. We were taking a huge leap of faith by trusting Costa Rica Descents -- everything from the transportation, hotel, activities and even meals were prearranged... More

The trip was completely planned for me and everything from the guides to the pickups were spectacular.

The crew was beyond nice and helpful. They always went above and beyond any of our requests. They suggested eating places that were really good, they worked with other tour companies to get us what WE wanted even if THEY did not offer it. The tour operators were great! They were friendly, respectful, and ALWAYS ON TIME for all of... More

We booked a trip through Living Social, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Everything was exactly as explained in the deal that we booked, and the tours were amazing. My husband and I would love to go back, and we wouldn't use anyone else to book tours through. They had the best tour guides who were friendly, knowledgable, and... More

Every single employee, driver, guide, and office staff were professional, courteous, friendly and all spoke english very well. We went white river rafting on the Rio Blancas and had a blast and felt safe at... More

Last week we were in La Fortuna and had the good luck to run into Alberto, who runs Costa Rica Descents. He immediately offered to loan me a kayak and gear so I could run the Balsa class III/IV section while the rest of the family rafted. I would highly recommend this company for a raft trip, and Alberto told... More

We purchased our trip through Living Social getaways and this was the company that was in charge of our activities. Everything from airport pickup and dropoff, hotel, and additional activities was taken care of by CRD. Rossi, took such good care of us. She booked all our other activities from ziplining to hot springs to spelunking, she was very accomodating.... More

My girlfriends and I recently decided to take an adventure trip to Costa Rica and booked everything through Costa Rica Descents and we couldn’t be more pleased. To call the staff incredible is to severely understate their expertise and customer service level as they took care of everything from hotel reservations, to assisting us with our activity itinerary and transportation....
