Custom Costa Rica Honeymoon
"We were well prepared by AdventureSmith despite having no time to devote to honeymoon planning because of the wedding and moving across country. It was great to just go to the store with the packing checklist you sent. Everywhere we went there were messages waiting for us to let us know when people were coming to get us. Everything went smoothly and there were not mishaps or stresses. We loved Lapa Rios, everything about it was great. The service and food were excellent and there were so many activities to pick from. We also loved they honeymoon suite at Finca Rosa Blanca in San Jose, it was beautiful. Costa Rican food is very vegetarian friendly! I wish American cuisine was as healthy and good for you. The guides were excellent, awesome, friendly and fun to be with. We wanted a honeymoon that would be beautiful and relaxing but with the option of more active things to do than just beach stuff. Your website helped us make our pick."

Panama Canal and Costa Rica Adventure Cruise
"We have taken a small ship cruise to Alaska and wanted to try it somewhere else. Costa Rica and Panama were outstanding, better than we expected. Monkeys, sloths, toucans and Macaws the rainforest guides were the best. We especially liked kayaking and snorkeling in secluded coves, away from everything. The food was excellent and our cabin was surprisingly comfortable. I'm glad we had air conditioning. AdventureSmith put together an outstanding land package to compliment our cruise. The perfect way to end our trip. Thank you."

“We had a great time. The places, food, and people were amazing. There wasn’t one place that we enjoyed the most. We enjoyed the fact that we experienced so many different places: city, cloud forest, and beach. The lodging was excellent, beautiful grounds, excellent food, and gorgeous views. We have already recommended AdventureSmith Explorations. Everything was taken care of for us and the people and places were first rate!”

Custom Costa Rica
"A magnificent trip! I never dreamed a trip like this was possible. Each and every destination was wonderful, which includes Tortuguero, Cocovado, and Arenal. The highlight was the sight of a 14ft. crocodile attacking and eating a 7ft. iguana. Our lodging was excellent; every room was comfortable and clean. I was impressed by how clean the facilities were at every destination. The food was fantastic. AdventureSmith and Andrew browning are professional and experienced world travelers. My greatest concern was being polite and courteous to our host country and people; Andrew gave great advice and instruction. Our transportation experience was excellent: someone was waiting for us at every destination. I always felt comfortable and relaxed knowing that every destination and every event was professional planned."

"We so appreciate all Andrew Brownings’ help thoughout our trip process and especially when our flight was cancelled and we couldn’t get out until the next day in arranging our transfers and adding villa Blanca at the end. Tortuguero was our favorite. The river wildlife viewig tours were great. Tarpin fishing was awesome. The accommodations were excellent, as was the food! We can’t say enough positive things about Costa Rica Sun Tours – they were always on time to pick us up. Adventuresmith chooses excellent co-tour companies (we found the same for our Galapagos trip)!
