Tours Filled with Adventure

ASSI - What a fantabulous time we had in Costa Rica. The day tours were the best of any state or country that I have visited. We had the pleasure of booking all of our excursions through Marvdigi Tours. Our first excursion was a full day of adventure via Adventure Tours. We began with Horse Back Riding, then water tubing down the river, which was followed up with a 17 platform canopy zip line through a beautiful Gorge, we were supposed to have a hot mud bath and hot springs experience as well, but it all came to a medical halt. My other half had a panic attack after rock climbing up the mountain; therefore, we had a different mud bath and hot springs experience on Monday.

As an adrenaline junky, I was on a natural high, zipping across the gorge upside down was the most exhilarating, and I immensely appreciated the entire experience. The Horses were big, strong, and beautiful. We rode the horse from the stables to a water fall about a half a mile to a mile away from the stables. We then loaded a school bus and went deep into the woods, we exited the bus, and all adorned life jackets and received safety instructions regarding tubing down the river. The tubs were wrapped in a heavy covering with a bottom that prevents your buttocks from getting scrapped. The water was shallow on the day we were there; therefore, we bumped into lots of rocks. It felt like bumper cars on a tub or the ball in a ping pong game.

As I see it if you are looking for an experience of a lifetime, you must plan a trip to Costa Rica for a fun filled vacation, or an extended weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it would have been nice if other family or friends would have joined us, but we met a number of really nice people who made the trip even better.
