It was an excellent trip! The best part was the 4 day hut to hut hike. It is a must do. Thora and Kim did a great job leading our hikes and cooked amazing meals in the hut! It was a great time!

This was my second trip with Active Adventures and it did not disappoint! Had a great trip with our guides Peter, Tom and Marjam. All were well travelled guides with interesting life stories and they took great care of everyone. Everything was well organized, and hotels and restaurants were great. We travelled with a Vegetarian and there was no issue with finding vegetarian meals. Trip is rated as moderate. Our trip mates were all fit and even had two that did extra miles and hill climbs on the bike. Not sure I would have enjoyed it as much if I weren't fit but there is van support the whole way incase someone is having an off day. One item of note for the biking.....the printed directions were very hard to follow while riding. Had to stay as a group with Marjam leading or I would not have made all the correct turns. A suggestion would be having an App or map to follow on a cell phone (We heard there is one in development)!
During our activities, we were greeted by Tom serving delicious fruit and snacks on a silver platter. He was always a welcome site! Beautiful scenery and friendly people the whole trip. My 2 friends and I stayed extra nights in Salzburg and flew back from there which takes you into Frankfurt for connections back to the states. There is a huge distance between terminals in Frankfurt and long lines at customs. Almost missed connecting flights and not all luggage made it home with us. Would not schedule it that way again. Would definitely recommend going back to Munich for return flights. Although we were able to see Mozart Museum, attend a concert, hike in the park and shop during our extra time in Salzberg, there is enough free time to hit the highlights with the group.

Great combination of seeing local sites and the "just right" levels of activity. Loved the guided biking between Austrian hotels and the variety of activities. Each one of our guides made sure we were well prepared even through the optional activities. In the unexpected heat spell they provided everyone with sun screen and plenty of water. And what a treat to find rest stops with one of guides holding a try of fresh fruit through all of our activities. It's things like this which made it an above and beyond trip. The guests were also great; we made lots of new friends on this excursion.
This is my second tour and would highly recommend this trip and these guides.

There was not much not to love about this trip. Phenomenal guides, great guests, and perfect location. Enough activity for even the hardiest of our group with the option to go at your own pace. Lots of surprises such as trays of fresh fruit at rest stops, the guides accompanying us on optional activities, and helping with translations when needed.
The agenda was perfect.
Highly recommend this trip.

Our family of four (including older teens) absolutely LOVED our trip. I cannot say enough good things about our guides Derek and Moose. They were knowledgeable, cheerful and tireless. They made it fun for everyone, and served up delightful surprises.
Yellowstone & Grand Teton Adventure, January 1970

Autumn is one of eight grandchildren in our family. At their 10th birthday, each grandchild chose a weeks vacation with my wife and I. Autumn’s pick, she loves sloths, Costa Rica. Our previous experience with Austin Adventures was truly outstanding. Ella, now 12, picked the Yellowstone Trip with Austin and we loved it.
This Costa Rica trip was just as wonderful as the Yellowstone Trip two years ago. First and foremost, our guide, Alejandro Sanchez was beyond great! We were concerned since we wanted Autumn to share her experience with other young families on this trip but we ended up being the only ones. Three of us and Alejandro. He spent quality time explaining things and describing the various animals, birds and other wild life throughout the 7 day excursion. We loved this trip so much that we are considering scheduling something in the next few years with our entire family. Costa Rica is a beautiful country and the people are very welcoming. My granddaughter Autumn, my wife Landy and I only have one word to describe our experience on this trip. OUTSTANDING!
