Kimkim Trip Reviews for Costa Rica

Feb 18 - Feb 26, 2023
We had a fabulous time in Costa Rica, and really appreciated the planning help we received from Nuria. We particularly loved Sunset Lodge in Drake Bay, and the guided trip in Corcovado National Park. In Manuel Antonio, our lodging at Hotel San Bada was a wonderful location just steps from the park entrance and a short walk to the beach. Our night hikes were amazing, and we were happy with the choice to not use a guide inside Manuel Antonio NP. There were so many guides around that we didn't... read more

Feb 3 - Feb 16, 2023
Took a chance on KimKim and it was a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, Sergio, from Serendipity Tours, took what we could and couldn't do into consideration. A little worried about being 65, long hikes and heights. Ends up we could do everything and it was an unforgettable trip. They took care of everything and took care of us. We did have to contact them a couple of times to confirm times and them got back to us quickly. They even changed the time of the car drop... read more

Feb 15 - Feb 23, 2023
My wife and I had (both early 60's and fairly fit) had a truly wonderful and memorable trip to Costa Rica. I usually plan my own trips, but since this was kind of last minute, I left all the planning to Kim Kim and kept my fingers crossed. They put me in touch with their local specialist, Nuria, who did a great job tailoring the trip to what was important to us. Our tours and transportation were totally private (a wonderful splurge). All guides and drivers were super friendly, prompt, and... read more

Feb 18 - Feb 23, 2023
Olman picked a few excellent resorts for our stay in Costa Rica. The Monterverde Lodge had a great staff and food selection. The Arenal Resort was 5 stars all the way. The hotel was absoultely beautiful and had everything you needed including a complimentary washer and dryer which we used. Drinks were pretty expensive $13 dollars for a 12oz IPA but along with the 10% tip and 13% gratuity added on top The food was delecious in every restaurant we went into the service is top notch.

From organizing through the trip itself all went smoothly and gave us a great experience! This was our first time organizing travels using a travel service - but won't be the last. We particularly appreciate Bryan arranging for small group tours - versus large groups that we saw along the way. At times it was just us and our guide - fabulous! The guides were wonderful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the terrain and wildlife - which is infectious. Special appreciation to Socio of... read more

The trip and all of the connection points was arranged extremely well. We only had to know what time we needed to be in the lobby of our hotel to have a completely hassle free experience.

They even took pictures for us through their scopes so that we would have lasting images of all of the wonderful animals and plants we encountered while in Costa... read more

We went to Costa Rica for 16 days. Our trip was mostly to enjoy Costa Rica's birds and wildlife. Bryan organized an amazing trip for us. We choose ecolodge and places with fewer tourists. We also rented a car. Other than 30 km or so of bumpy road to Monteverde and some from Monteverde to Jaco, the roads were fine. We had a few amazing guides during our trip. They were so knowledgeable. Bryan was very response to our questions before our trip and during our trip.

The great: rafting trip
The good: Hotel in San Jose; The pick -up

Especially frustrating was that nobody talked with us the history, culture and traditions of Costa Rica. So we spend a week and learned nothing except for reading in Wikipedia read more
Hi Leonid,
Thank you for the information shared with us about your trip.
I am sorry to hear that you didn't receive as much information as you might be expected from some of the guides about the local history, culture and traditions, if we have known in advance that you were really interested in this, we would recommend different activities in some areas so you could know a little bit more about our traditions.
Fortunately, it looks like despite this, you enjoyed the trip that we organized for you and your friends.
Best regards,

We had a wonderful trip to Costa Rica thanks to Olman! Our itinerary was just the right mix of adventure days and relaxing days. The hotels and activities he suggested were perfect for us, and it was so nice to have all our transportation arranged. Highlights were ziplining in the cloud forest at Monteverde, sunset catamaran in Tamarindo, and staying at the Tabacon hot spring at Arenal.

Pros: Service and convenience was great. Simplified the process of planning enabling a relatively last minute vacation (2wks notice) without the planning stress. Curated options for hotels and activities to simplify. Responsive to chat messages. All the tours and transfers and hotels showed up on time.
Cons: Price points of hotels, activities, and travel agent services ($320 that they tell you at the end) were high vs. booking oneself. Guessing 10-20pct more expensive on my 2wk trip. ... read more

We had a blast in Costa Rica (Tortuguero, La Fortuna, Monteverde) and were impressed with how smoothly everything went! We had no issues during our stay. Accommodations were great, our transportation always arrived early, and the tour guides and service were PHENOMENAL. Bryan did a great job putting everything together.
Hola Stephanie,

Planning the trip with KimKim was a pleasure. We were a bit overwhelmed with what CR has to offer and having someone help us make the most of two weeks there was a life saver.
Selection of activities was excellent - both in terms of number and variety of things to do. Both guides were very responsive and helpful.
Highlights of the trip: Rafting and chocolate tour in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca
Unexpected highlight: Kayaking up the river in PVdT

Dec 31 - Jan 9, 2023
Our recent trip to Costa Rica in January 2023 was amazing, it was our first trip in Costa Rica and the trip planned by Bryan and the Serenpidity team was amazing. Our goal was to see a lot of wildlife and experience the Rainforest and Cloudforest and our excursions totally met our expectations. The hotels were also great, with 2 of them absolutely fantastic (Arenal Manoa in La Fortuna and La Mariposa in Manuel Antonio).
We would totally recommend Kimkim and Bryan to our friends. read more

Jan 10 - Jan 19, 2023
We visited Costa Rica for the first time and spent 9 days in the country. We spent our first night in San Jose and then 2 nights each in Manuel Antonio, Monteverde, La Fortuna and Tamarindo. We wanted to see as much as possible on this trip and we feel like we got to see a lot of different places. Getting to these different places wasn't easy. My wife gets car sick and she really had a rough time on the roads. If I could do it again I would have considered flying from place to place when... read more

Overall, I was completely blown away by my family's trip to Costa Rica. I expected to see natural beauty and warm weather but the hospitality of the locals is why I’ll be coming back.
Two examples. On our drive to Monteverde we got a bit lost and were trying to make a U-turn on a narrow, difficult part of road. A random guy riding past on his dirt bike stopped, got off his bike, paused incoming traffic, and helped guide us through the turn. Roads in Costa Rica were pretty terrible outside... read more

Sep 9 - Sep 19, 2022
We told Randall some vague ideas of what we had in mind and then he did an excellent job of suggesting an itinerary. He then was kind enough to customize and revise it several times for us as we played with the cost and travel schedule until it was just right.
The trip ended up being a perfect progression of seeing different types of wildlife for the first time and/or seeing wildlife more up close and personal. We also enjoyed the right amount of first time and beach time. read more
Hi Brian,
It is so nice to hear from you after your trip to my country last September.

Where do I begin! It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish, and our specialists were extremely helpful along the way. We changed our mind on the itinerary a couple of times, but were met with patience and professionalism at all times. I actually ended up booking a different hotel through my work after booking, so we were able to book a different tour instead which was great! Okay, so down to the nitty gritty:
Days 1-5: La Fortuna
We were picked up by our lovely drivers,... read more

Our trip to Costa Rica was an incredible experience! This was the first time we had booked a trip with KimKim and Olman was exceptionally wonderful to work with in planning all of our excursions to create the best vacation. All of our tour guides ,including Franklin on our volcano hike and Bryan on our safari rafting trip, were friendly, courteous and very knowledgeable. Overall, I would highly recommend KimKim to anyone planning a vacation to Costa Rica.

Bryan put together a wonderful trip! Everything went seamlessly and the tours and accommodations were amazing. Rental vehicles were picked up our hotel and shuttle service to the airport ordered. There were so many details that were taken care of and it was nice to know that if we needed their help or support while we were travelling that they were there for us. Thankfully the people of Costa Rica were very hospitable and welcoming everywhere we went and the trip was very memorable. ... read more

Bryan and Charlotte were very helpful in providing the best combination of activities for our family. We liked all the hotel selections and tour operators were excellent. During our stay, our GPS took us down the wrong path one day and we were going to miss our planned boat cruise. They helped us adjust our tour timings on the same day notifying the tour company at short notice. Appreciated the local support when we needed it. We loved the curation of activities and places and it saved a... read more

The trip designed by Sergio and his team was perfect.
A combination of active and relaxing areas, great hotel selection, and super high quality activities!
We couldn’t be happier with how our trip went.
We traveled to La Fortuna, Monterverde and Manuel Antonio, and got to discover a ton of wildlife and beautiful forests. read more

Overall, the tours we went on were absolutely amazing and we have a mostly positive experience. All the guides were great and very knowledgeable. Our guide for canyoning was hilarious and so fun. Our rafting guide did a great job with some inexperienced rafters. The hotel was also amazing - the service, the spa, the pool. I would recommend kimkim to other people overall, but we did have some issues that ended up being ok, but still caused some headache including:
- The emergency line... read more

Our trip was well thought out and planned according to what we like to do, see, and accomplish. Our guides were wonderful. Franklin at the Arenal Volcano was so passionate about everything nature. Karla at Manuel Antonio Park was great at spotting all of the wildlife. We even stopped the bus before the park because she and our bus driver George, spotted birds, sloths, and monkeys on our way. Jesus and Alexi were wonderful in the Mangroves. Again, so passionate about what they do. Our... read more

We had a wonderful trip and everything worked out wonderfully. Everything planned worked smoothly and on time. Here is a short review:
The car was delivered on time. We did not get to see a lot of Poas as it was very cloudy and raining heavily. The Arenal observatory lodge was great so was the complimentary breakfast and the dinner menu. The pool and hot tub are spectacular. It is 30 minutes away from the touristic La Fortuna area but that was just fine as the little that I did get to see of... read more

I had planned my trip to Costa Rica for February, but it had to be rescheduled for November. It was a great relief that the KimKim team assisted me and made all the changes easily and smoothly from the beginning until the end :).
My partner and I had an amazing time in Costa Rica! The whole trip was on-point, without any issues with the activities and transportation within the country (which was my biggest concern, since the roads are tricky to navigate). We arrived in San José and... read more
