Worth Tipping $500 - I’d like to start by saying how fortunate we feel to have stumbled upon Eric and his really unique tour. We feel privileged to write such a supportive review of Eric. I can’t say enough about Eric’s character as a person and how much he cares about so many things. I appreciate the small details and no doubt, the hours that he has put in to making this an incredible hiking tour. Here are some of the things we really loved about taking this amazing 2 day hike into the rainforests of Costa Rica. If you are considering a medium intensity hike through the slippery rocks and mud of the gorgeous Costa Rican rainforest filled with rolling rivers, lazy creeks and epic waterfalls - this tour was pretty amazing since it was literally just us, and not with 20 other tourists, just being shuttled in and out of tour buses. This was a leave-no-trace hike, and it was amazing to see literally ZERO trash or litter on the entire trip. If you are looking for nature, wellness and adventure as part of your trip to Costa Rica - Here are just some of the reasons booking a tour with Eric is a must- 1. Eric was always punctual. The sun rises only one time every day, so if you want to catch it… I appreciate the punctuality. 2. Always prepared for the crazy unpredictable weather conditions. He even wrapped my suitcase in plastic just in case it rained, and of course, it did rain. 3. Attentive to needs, injuries, other curiosities - and delivered on them without us even asking. Eric puts thought into the experience and prepares for possible unknowns. he’s a true professional. 4. Intelligent conversations around good food helped me see Costa Rica through a different lens. 5. The drive is just as stunning as the hike and the vehicle you are in makes a big difference. 6. He brought along good company. His girlfriend and fellow dentist “Nat” was so amazing to chat with and again, allowed us a different lens from which to view the jungle through her perspective. Really enjoyed our conversations with Nat! 7. Multi talented - Eric himself brings on an interesting lens through the hiking tour - and that is through his passions of architecture and hiking, which takes him to some really unique locations around the world. 8. Is genuinely an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and a respectful person. 9. Another huge thing is that Eric was focused on keeping us safe as tourists around town or in the vehicle and aware of our surroundings to keep us out of harm and really allowing us to really enjoy Costa Rica on another level. 10. Eric takes some very cool shots, capturing some of those incredible moments for you, and he puts effort into doing them well. So in short, if you are looking for a tour that is on-time, focused and organized trip where the priority is for you to have an efficient, challenging, meaningful and memorable trip that includes both adventure and relaxation- this tour will be an incredible stack onto your trip to Costa Rica.
