点评:I am not one to speak in superlatives but Kate and Esteban have between them crafted what is quite possibly the singular best tour company in Costa Rica. If you are looking for corporate hotels, recycled excursions, and staying on the well-beaten track then this review will not be of much use for you. However, if you are looking for a once in a lifetime trip then Kate and Esteban will deliver on that and more. From the moment we landed into San Jose, Esteban welcomed us with cold water, coke (and beer). We began by having a tour of a coffee farm, experiencing the trials and tribulations of a farmer trying to maintain an organic farm. We then had a brief transfer to La Fortuna, experiencing the natural hot springs of Arenal Volcano and hiking around the base. We then kayaked on Lake Arenal, where Esteban and I showcased rowing skills paralleled only by Sir Steve Redgrave. We then found ourself in Santa Teresa, enjoying the more relaxed atmosphere, witnessing breathtaking sunsets, and surfing with the world’s grumpiest surf instructor (admittedly beyond Kate and Esteban’s control). We finished our trip with whale watching, a jungle trek, and fighting for our lives on the front of a speed boat in the middle of the angriest rain I have ever experienced (this is, I’m told, also out of the control of Kate and Esteban, who had conveniently positioned himself at the back of the boat ). To cut to the chase, if you are considering a trip to Costa Rica with Aventuras, do it. To Kate and Esteban, words cannot really express how grateful I am for this experience. Pura Vida!
翻译:我不是一个喜欢夸赞别人的人,但 Kate 和 Esteban 携手打造的旅游公司很可能是哥斯达黎加最棒的。如果您正在寻找商务酒店、循环游览和住在人迹罕至的地方,那么这篇评论对您来说用处不大。但是,如果您正在寻找一生一次的旅行,那么 Kate 和 Esteban 将满足您的需求,甚至更多。从我们抵达圣何塞的那一刻起,Esteban 就用冷水、可乐(和啤酒)欢迎我们。我们首先参观了一个咖啡农场,体验了农民维护有机农场的艰辛。然后我们短暂转移到拉福图纳,体验了阿雷纳尔火山的天然温泉并在山脚下徒步旅行。然后我们在阿雷纳尔湖上划皮划艇,在那里我和 Esteban 展示了只有史蒂夫·雷德格雷夫爵士才能比拟的划船技巧。然后我们来到了圣特雷莎,享受着更加轻松的氛围,欣赏着令人叹为观止的日落,并跟随世界上最脾气暴躁的冲浪教练冲浪(诚然,这超出了 Kate 和 Esteban 的控制范围)。我们的旅程以赏鲸、丛林跋涉和在快艇前部拼命挣扎结束,当时正下着我所经历过的最猛烈的大雨(我听说这也是 Kate 和 Esteban 无法控制的,他们恰好站在船尾)。长话短说,如果您正在考虑和 Aventuras 一起去哥斯达黎加旅行,那就去吧。对于 Kate 和 Esteban,言语无法真正表达我对这次经历的感激之情。Pura Vida!
