In 1992 we recognized that with more and more people opting for active and physical lifestyles, the attitudes towards vacations would change. We concentrated on providing a variety of activities designed to introduce our guests to Costa Rica in the most interesting and unusual ways and now pride ourselves on being one of the very few tour operators that offer a complete variety of activities.

Our reputation has grown over the years such that we have established good relationships with hotels, service providers and the people of Costa Rica. Attention to detail and commitment to quality mean your group will have a trip that exactly meets their expectations. Our two main programs, Adventure Trips and Custom Adventures, are both designed for small groups. In 1999 we put on our 1st Adventure Race and now we organize 6 races each year

We are a small, dedicated team resident in Costa Rica with our offices based in the capital, San Jose. Our permanent staff of 20 covers sales, operations, transportation and guiding. Our offices combine administration and our warehouse facility that assists essential communication between both disciplines. Information on trips is passed from the office to the warehouse and to the individual responsible for transportation. The logistics of such an organization are of the outmost importance in ensuring the smooth running of a trip – the longest of which is 15 days. Our staff is all experienced in dealing with the requirements of our trips and have in-depth knowledge of the itineraries.

We also have resident staff at our campground – El Nido del Tigre and at our rafting warehouse that is located near to the camp. More information on this beautiful heaven bordering the banks of the Pacuare River can be found further on in this section.

Coast to Coast seeks to attain the highest standard of adventure travel for all its guests. Our Guides are responsible for ensuring the complete safety, well-being and enjoyment of our guests but retain a flexible and fun attitude. They are all experienced in every field of activity, are bilingual and qualified in First Aid and CPR. They have a genuine desire to make sure that guests leaveCosta Rica with a feeling of truly appreciating the country and their experiences but also having had a vacation to remember and often, one that they wish to repeat.

Our equipment is constantly updated and improved. We use self bailing six person rafts on the river and all participants are required to wear a US Coast Guard approved PFD and a helmet. Similarly with mountain biking, a helmet is required and routes are chosen depending on weather conditions and the experience and fitness level of the clients. Our sea kayak routes are also dependent upon sea and weather conditions. We use sealed deck ocean kayaks and all guests are required to wear a US Coast Guard approved PFD while on the water.
