With a foundation in customized and premium service, we are able to go the extra mile for our clients allowing the seemingly impossible to be possible. Serendipity knows that high-activity excursions are about logistics, no matter the composition of travelers, and we are determined to work out the logistics for our mobility-impaired clients.
Operated in a small-scale premium manner, expedition-style excursions form part of our disability travel program. A variety of adventure lovers, both children and adults, with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Down’s syndrome, and other kinds of disabilities, as well as blind and deaf clients, have journeyed through the hidden jewels and off-the-beaten-path destinations of Costa Rica.
Bonnie, and her husband Jeff, traveled with Serendipity in April, 2012. Bonnie has multiple sclerosis and is a wheelchair user. She and Jeff whitewater rafted the class III rapids of the Pacuare River, reached 110 feet high in the canopy of the jungle for lunch, and became tropical birding experts during a river safari. Bonnie wrote Serendipity after her arrival home, “My sincere appreciation and thanks to Serendipity Adventures for investing money into the appliances needed that will cater to the handicap person, thereby allowing a handicap person to re-experience life prior to their illness.“
Rhonda spent a day on the rock walls. Although canyoning is an exhilarating adrenaline rush, Rhonda did not lose balance using her lower-leg prosthetics. Rhonda wore a sparkling smile as she rappelled down the intense flow of Serendipity’s private waterfall canyon.
Silvia and her family explored this tropical world in August 2010. Silvia’s 7 year old son, Matteo, has cerebral palsy. His physical development has been challenged, yet his enthusiasm and love for nature succeed with flying colors. Silvia thanked our family, writing, “Having a special needs child in a 1st World Nation is a challenge, but with Serendipity, traveling with my son was a complete joy.“
We celebrate these families’ decisions to explore with us when considering a Costa Rica vacation. Feel free to reach out to us if you, or someone in your potential travel group, are a mobility-impaired adventure seeker. We may explore the possibilities of your private and customized Serendipity adventure together.
