Costa Rica Extravaganza

This was a multi centre family holiday to Cost Rica. We moved around through four sites from Northern Pacific delta, central volcano, cloud forest and southern beach. Itinerary was good with generally excellent hotels - one suited us less but the local agents were very helpful in arranging an early transfer to the next stop. There was something for everyone at each site although each member of the family clearly had a favourite stop.

Very helpful - open to discussion about itinerary and plans All very smooth whilst away for pick ups and transfers - able to negotiate early departure from one hotel and extra night in next at short notice.

A great family adventure in the Indian Ocean.

We stayed on the stunning beach at Flic en Flac, on the west of Mauritius. Due to the reef it is a safe beach for families. We used paddle boards ,kayaks, a pedlo and went snorkelling daily. The fish, sea creatures and coral were amazing. We explored the amazing scenery in the south west including The Black River Gorge, Grand Bassin, Chamarel falls and seven colours, as well as swimming with dolphins.. We went to Casela and La Vanille animal ...

We explored the amazing scenery in the south west including The Black River Gorge, Grand Bassin, Chamarel falls and seven colours, as well as swimming with dolphins.. We went to Casela and La Vanille animal parks where we fed giant tortoises and giraffes as well as enjoying a fun zip wire. We then spent a few days at St, Gilles, Reunion Island. A beautiful lagoon where the water is so clear. The scenery was out of this world and it is worth the drive to explore the two volcanoes. Piton de la Fournaise (active volcano) where the surrounding area looks Martian and the three cirques from the dormant volcano which are dramatic, green and have beautiful waterfalls. Kelonia, the sea turtle observatory is also worth a visit. We had an amazing time, full of wonderful memories and explored a stunningly beautiful place so different to our home.

Prompt efficient service from the airport to our hotels and good advice provided for day tours.

Rating for tour operator:

We knew roughly what we wantedvto do and bushbaby were great at drawing it all together - they linked with a good local operator to effect the details but their local knowledge was also very good - it always helps to deal with someone who has actually been there.

Bushbaby Travel were excellent from the first point of contact . They recommended a few lodges that would be suitable for our trip, then made all reservations and arrangements for transfers etc. I felt totally confident that everything was arranged as planned . Any questions I had were answered extremely quickly and comprehensively.

This is the second time that we have used Bushbaby to organise our holiday; the first time was a complicated itinerary in Sri Lanka last year followed this year by a beach holiday in Mauritius. Without exception, we have found Bushbaby to be knowledgeable, efficient and transparent with their prices. They are extremely good at assessing what location, hotel etc. will suit you as a family and have never once got it wrong. We could not recommend them highly enough.

Bush Baby Travel. Provided great service and advice and importantly were knowledgeable about the places we stayed/visited . Got the hotel choices just right ! Even advised us, and talked us through, to book some internal flights ourselves as this would be a cheaper option.
