UNFORGETTABLE COSTA RICA TRIP
Costa Rica

Mar 2 - Mar 10, 2024
AMAZING Costa Rica trip for 3 generations of my family! For my 40th birthday we took my 3 young children and my elderly parents to Costa Rica (La Fortuna, Monteverde and Playa Flamingo) for a 9 day trip. Olman at kimkim was extremely thoughtful and very knowledgeable about these places and recommended the perfect resorts/lodges and activities my family would enjoy all while considering my children's ages and my parents mobility issues.
The highlights of our trip were: seeing 3-toed sloths with Juan Carlos and Gonzalo of Amazilia Travel in La Fortuna; taking a boat cruise on Lake Arenal and learning about the volcano, seeing caiman and eating empanadas with Yeri of EcoTerra Costa Rica; we loved the night tour with Jesus at Refugio de Vida Silvestre in Monteverde (we saw a palm viper, kinkajou and 2-toed sloth!); the guys at Treetopia were amazing and we loved the hanging bridges and zip-lining; my husband LOVED fishing in Playa Flamingo with Blue Marlin Sportfishing - he caught a 90lb yellowfin tuna and we have been enjoying poke bowls ever since; my personal favorite was watching baby sea turtles hatch and crawl into the ocean at Playa Conchal with a local guide Luis and his cousin Netty.
TRULY AN UNFORGETTABLE TRIP. I cannot recommend Costa Rica as a destination or Olman at Kimkim enough.
Hotel Reviews
AMAZING! The best parts were the hot-springs tubs piped directly into your hotel room, the gorgeous breakfast, volcano views and many hot and cool pools. 10/10 would live here if I could!
Great views and tasty food. Restaurant is small and wait staff are not accustomed to small kids.
Activity Reviews
We loved Juan Carols and Gonzalo sooooo much, we wanted to take them everywhere with us! My daughter was holding Gonzalo's hand and he was showing her all the birds. What a heavenly day!
SOOOO much fun! I cant even being to count the number of animals we saw.
Lots of great information! Yeri is clearly very highly educated!!! We all learned sooo much from her and the boat trip was very relaxing.
We saw some awesome animals! Jesus showed is so many things - my son's favorite was the click beetles, but we also saw a 2-toed sloth, palm viper and kinkajou.
FUN! Great wildlife guide Alex on the hanging bridges, and the fellas that did the ziplines were all so great and fun and very hard-working!
The hubby caught a 90lb yellowfin tuna and a large dorado, my mom and son smaller tuna. My husband had such a great time he wanted to go fishing again the next day!
Hola Margaret,
