Hands up whose an animal lover?
I recently had clients return from a very special holiday to Costa Rica, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. This was a bucket list trip for the wildlife loving husband's milestone birthday.
Over the course of 3 weeks the family enjoyed a seven centre adventure including stops in volcanic Arenal where they enjoyed a sloth safari and a guided hike to a waterfall, the rainforests of Monteverde for ziplining fun and finally the beaches of Manual Antonia where they enjoyed a sailing and snorkelling adventure.
The family then headed to the city of Quito to hit the highlights and enjoy a chocolate tasting experience, before the "piece de resistance" travelling to the Galapagos Islands to enjoy multiple boat trips to various islands for close encounters with the unique wildlife including the infamous giant tortoises, coati's, land iguana's, sea lions and pelicans to name just a few.
Here's what the clients had to say:
"We had the most amazing holiday and experiences. Thank you so much to you and your partners for organising such a wonderful experience for us all. Everyone involved in our holiday was excellent. Transport was comfortable, clean and always bang on time and such lovely friendly people. The three boat trips we did to the islands were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed all the different locations. All the hotels we stayed in were lovely. Very clean and really comfortable beds. Really pleasant staff. Great breakfasts and food. I loved sitting outside in the mornings with the Merlin app listening to the birds."
