Testimonials

Our clients love travelling with CRA. Here’s what students, teachers, (and parents) have to say about their experiences…

Why Teachers Love CRA

“I can honestly say that this company is far superior in terms of education.” —Parker Middle School Teacher

“ Costa Rican Adventures offers so much more than the other travel companies can.   They provide you with instant connections with many interesting local Ticos that can’t wait to share and teach you about their country... .  I can’t wait for my students to meet these locals, as I am sure they will learn many lessons from them that a textbook or classroom setting cannot provide." - Emmaus High School teacher  

“The guides told us on the first day in the first few minutes that they were not only going to be our guides on the trip, but our friends. Leaving now, it’s easy to see how right they were. Their passion for sharing their knowledge of the country, their kind, friendly attitudes and their humor made the experience better for me. They did not just give us facts, they gave us the whole back story making it very clear why we were learning certain things.” —Stoneham High School Teacher

Why Students Love CRA

“It was a Magical adventure!” —Marymount of Santa Barbara Student, CA 

“Words cannot describe how much I appreciate the community service project (CRA) put together.... Because of you and the work that you did, you have changed my life and everyone in the group, inspirational! —Camp Tawonga Student, CA

“I learned about myself and that I can do a lot more than I think I can. I also learned about the person I want to be. Both Adrian and Chino are role models for me and they inspired me to do more with my life. Now that I am aware of the problems that we have and that people are fighting to solve it I want to do something too.”

—The Episcopal Academy Student, Newtown Square, PA

“The program is absolutely phenomenal and I have a first hand experience knowing that it can change a person’s life.”

—Cretin Durham Hall Student, St. Paul, MN

Why Parents Love CRA

“My daughter's trip to Costa Rica was life changing. The two week adventure is absolutely the main reason why she chose her major in college and her current career path. After living in the ecosystem and realizing her passion for science, she majored in biology and is currently pursuing a MS in Marine Mammal Science. I am convinced that the trip to Costa Rica planted the seeds of discovery in her in a way that only a hands on experience could have.” 

—Parent, Springfield, PA

“What I remember about Jordan's trip to Costa Rica was the insight he gained resulting from a visit they made inside a banana farm industry. This experience gave him the opportunity to understand complex political and social aspects of Costa Rica which impressed him just as much as the beautiful surroundings of the country.” 

—Parent, Lansdowne, PA
