Costa Rica: A Fun-Filled and Memorable Trip

Costa Rica was an amazing experience with lots of fun activities and beautiful landscapes. There were a lot of fun adventures in the trip including surfing, horseback riding, ziplining, tubing, swimming, and hiking. The beaches were very captivating since the sand was white and the waves were perfect for surfing. It was fun to swim near the waterfalls and be able to experience tubing down the rushing waters of the streams. There were a lot of lush rainforests in the area and interesting creatures. Overall, I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys international travel and wants to do something exciting with many fun activities and experiences.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
One of the most surprising things that I saw was a white monkey in the trees since I didn't think I was going to see one during the trip.
Pros
  • The activities were all very fun and memorable.
  • The food and desserts were delicious.
  • Everyone was friendly and nice.
Cons
  • One of the hotels looked a little dirty in the inside.
  • Lots of driving to different destinations.
  • The weather was cloudy or rainy mostly.

Pros
  • meeting new people
  • trying new food
  • exploring a new place
Cons
  • little bumps in the road with travel - flight delays that we could not change

My teen tour trip

This summer was my first time going on a teen tour. I had so many fun experiences like zip lining, seeing and helping sea turtles and making new friends throughout the entire trip. Everyday was so much fun learning about the culture and seeing things that you don’t have back at your home. We learned how to adapt to the culture that is all around us.The foods you try you will want to bring back to your family and friends to spread the experience. I liked that the tour allows you to have your phones but you really never want to be on your phone while away. The only times are to talk to your family and to take photos. The counselors are so outgoing, positive and fun to be with and talk to. They take such good care of you trying to make sure you have the best trip possible. There’s so many to choose from that your kids will have an amazing time making many memories.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I tried pineapple on my cheese burger.
Pros
  • Meeting new friends
  • Getting to know people from different places
  • Doing fun new adventures
Cons
  • Not knowing anyone
  • Had to get use to new foods
  • Flighting by myself to meet everyone

Best Experience Ever!!

Traveling to Hawaii Ultimate Service and Adventure has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Like many others, I was nervous because I didn't know anyone or if anyone would like me for who I truly am. Once I arrived and met the rest of the group that fear was immediately gone. I formed some of the closest friendships I have ever had. The counselors were unbelievable. Whatever you needed they would accommodate you. They would listen to all your ideas and all your thoughts. The activities and service that we did were unbelievable. I was able to help out the Sea turtles in Hawaii. The sea turtles were injured and I was able to help them heal so they could get back out to sea. I had the best experiences going snorkeling, relaxing at the beach, shopping, surfing lessons and so much more. 15 days have never gone by so fast. Although the group is no longer in Hawaii, friendships and memories remain.

Pros
  • Majority go alone to make new friendships.
  • The counselor are extremely accommodating and nice.
  • Perfect length!
