We returned recently from a week-long Costa Rica trip designed for us by Gretchen and her team at PTW. We did a bit of everything, from incredible wildlife hikes, to ziplining, to river rafting. We stayed and spent time in Monteverde, Arenal, and Manuel Antonio. I was very skeptical of using an online agency to make all the selections and arrangements, as I'm used to planning vacations on my own, and booking activities directly online. But for Costa Rica this seemed more challenging. It was diff...

In the month of March 2012, my wife and I traveled to CR using Pacific Trade Winds. The months leading to this trip PTW was very helpful with all the details needed to provide us with info for our trip, during our trip we needed to cancell one of our events, a call to PTW while I was there and they very politely rearanged our plans, everything else that they booked for us was top shelf and we could not have been any more satisfied with our trip, PTW is very honest company in my opinion and we wi...

From start to finish our trip went off without a hitch. We had never been to Costa Rica and Gretchen with PTW recommended exploring the Cloud Forest/Arenal Volcano and the beaches at Samara. I must say it was an excellent recommendation.

The service was fantastic - booking and changes to itinerary a breeze. The staff was very accommodating and booked us some excellent excursions. The excursions included a boat trip along the Cano Negro river where we saw 3 different kinds of monkeys, birds,...

Everything they recommended and arranged for us was perfect, from the excursions they booked to the hotels they recommended and booked for us. This comp...

As we were surfing the internet to plan our vacation to Costa Rica, we found the pacific trade wind organization with some standard vacation offers. We soon found out that they can arrange your vacation just as you like within the budget you indicate.
We were pleasantly surprised by the very professional way they arranged our vacation from the first email until the end of our vacation.

All transfers and tours and all the lodges were perfectly arranged from the very beginning until the end. I...

We visited Costa Rica for three weeks this past winter.

The assistance provided by Meghan and her team from Pacific Trade Winds was most helpful in the planning; the actual trip was as close as one can get to perfection while traveling! This was a well-scheduled and carefree trip from all points of view: sightseeings; activities; accommodations; transportation at a very competitive price.

We greatly enjoyed the canopy zip line in spite of our initial hesitancy... and our age (early...

Our trip to Costa Rica was fantastic! We debated at first as to whether or not we should try to go it on our own or use a travel agency, but after deciding to use Pacific Trade Winds services, I could not imagine ever doing it any other way. They were attentive, kind, and prompt. The excursions were amazing and the drivers, always on time. My friends and I felt safe and welcome. Our agent did a great job of customizing our trip to meet our desires. We would definitely use Pacific Trade Win...
