Ryan and Melissa and their teenage son were looking for a relaxing yet adventurous ecotourism vacation. They’d been to Belize (another of my top ecotourism destinations, as you can see from other past trips), and they had enjoyed Barbados and Grenada as cruise stops already. They were looking for something where they could sit on the beach yet still enjoy some excursions that were unique, so Costa Rica was selected!

During their stay in Costa Rica, they enjoyed SCUBA diving (and check out these pictures they got while doing so!) as well as a few other excursions. They enjoyed branching out off the resort as well, taking in some of the local cuisine. Despite their return home being delayed by a day by Snowmaggedon (a good 14” or so of snow came down in the storm), they had a great time and relaxed instead of stressed, because I was taking care of the logistics for them!
