A wonderful trip to Costa Rica with Pacific Trade Winds

We recently spent two weeks traveling to 3 areas of Costa Rica, with Pacific Tradewinds. We are seniors, and experienced travellers. We were extremely impressed with this company’s service. It ranks at the very top of our travels. There was not one glitch, everything worked seamlessly. We used drivers between hotels, and to take us to our hikes and activities. All drivers were early to pick us up (great!). And the drivers were eager to give us local information and to inquire what we were interested in. We were very happy with all four hotels we stayed at. The booking process was non-stressful. It was comforting to know that we could contact the Tradewinds team at any time in Costa Rica. Which we did once as we had mistakenly arrived at the airport with a set of hotel keys.

Testimonial for Christys trip in Costa Rica
Best family of 10 Vacation!

We absolutely loved our family of 10 trip to Costa Rica!! Pacific Trade Winds did such a good job of taking care of us! CRC drivers, Danilo and Harold, were such good tour drivers and stopped to show us sloths, monkeys, great places to eat️Enrique was a great guide at Hanging Bridges! Our big family loved all the adventures (rappelling, waterfalls, horseback riding, tubing, catamaran) and our stay at Arenal Springs Resort and Spa was incredible. We loved the people of this beautiful country and Pacific Trade Winds did not disappoint!!

Vacation Review from Drew S
Great travel agency

Fabulous service. Planned our trip from start to finish. Fantastic excursions. Gorgeous hotels they suggested. Felt extremely safe the whole time. Even helped us reschedule when our flight was delayed a day. Can’t wait to go back to CR and use Pacific Trade Winds again.

Make your vacation a breeze!

We have taken 3 trips to Costa Rica planned by Pacific Trade Winds. Using a local travel agency is extremely beneficial since they can offer the best prices on everything. They custom design your vacation based on your specifications—number of days, your budget, type of experience you’re looking for, type of accommodations and transportation. You can review their proposal and easily make changes if you’d like to. They are very quick to respond to any communication you may have about your travel, both before and during your trip. We have recommended them to a number of friends who have also been pleased with their service. You can relax and enjoy your vacation knowing that they have every detail covered.

Pacific Trade Winds gets a TEN!

We travelled with 4 couples to experience the adventure that Costa Rica is known for. We didn't want anything to go wrong, so we used the services of Pacific Trade Winds, and once again they planned and exciting and well-balanced trip. We had the thrill of whitewater rafting and rappelling, but also experienced beautiful, peaceful beaches. The wildlife tours were informative and fun. I have used Pacific Trade Winds before and have never been disappointed, but it was even most challenging pleasing all the people in our group...and they did! They carefully listened and planned accordingly. Even making sure the person in our group who was afraid of heights had other equally fun things to do while we rappelled. We will all return again!

Perfectly planned. Balanced activities and leisure!

From the beginning during the planning stages, all the way through the trip, Pacific Trade Winds was so patient and helpful! The staff is amazing and kind, and the manager even stepped in at on point to provide extra information and personal recommendations to make our trip just perfect! Costa Rica is a beautiful country and Pacific Tradewinds help us plan the perfect trip to see many different parts of the country and try new adventures.

They strive for excellence and deliver!

PTW made this vacation what it was! Without them I don’t think we would have got the best experience! Of course, I was a little nervous booking because honestly they made it too easy! Lol but they are legit!! Very knowledgeable, great and quick communication! I really liked the drivers & the guides they set us up with. I loved to learn everything I could from them! I 100% need to learn Spanish asap! My only downfall (but not complaining) is that I struggled to understand some stronger accents. My favorite things on this trip was swimming at MA national park private beach area & swimming in the La Fortuna waterfall! Thanks again to all of PTW for everything!
