Not all vacations are made equal. In a world of online booking platforms and chatbots, travel is said to be easier than ever before. But what about the quality of your experience?
At Serendipity Adventures, there is a clear difference between our tailormade vacations and regular package holidays. Below, we outline why tourists still prefer to plan their vacation with a local travel agent in Costa Rica (no offense ChatGPT)…
6 Benefits of Using a Travel Agent in Costa Rica
Trust in our Specialist Knowledge
You’re an avid bird watcher, a hiking enthusiast, a foodie, an adrenaline junkie…there will be hundreds of activities to choose from. You can spend hours researching or ask that friend of a friend who went to Costa Rica last year and feel overwhelmed. A quick phone call to a local travel agent will help you get the exact advice you need. Who better to ask than someone who lives in Costa Rica?
Receive Support from your Costa Rica Travel Agent
Your flight is delayed, your tour guide hasn’t arrived, you forgot your bag at the restaurant…that sinking feeling when something goes wrong abroad. Before the panic sets in, you can call us and we’ll help you solve it. It is likely that this isn’t the first time this has happened in the 30+ years we’ve been operating in Costa Rica. We’ll also help you prepare prior to the trip: what to pack, what SIM card to buy, what vaccinations to get…we’ve got you covered.
Discover More Authentic Experiences
Over the years, we’ve been hearing from more clients looking to experience the hidden gems of Costa Rica. If you have chosen a package vacation or decided to put together an independent trip, it is likely that you will visit tourist hotspots. These sites are usually hotspots for a reason; they’re beautiful and have many tours on offer. But, if crowds aren’t your thing, we can take you off the beaten track to more pristine and undisturbed places.
Enjoy a Premium Service
Dream hotel? Booked. Special dinner? Reserved. Private tour? Confirmed. A travel agent handles every detail of your vacation itinerary so you can simply enjoy it. You are still very much involved in the fun part of dreaming up your wish list for Costa Rica. With Serendipity, we create your perfect itinerary and go the step beyond to exceed your expectations.
Discover our Accessible Adventures
At Serendipity, we believe that travel should be for everyone. Because we offer private and customized adventures, we have the flexibility to adapt to your needs and not the other way around. This is true for clients with limited mobility, as well as families with young kids and multigenerational groups. Thanks to our experience, we’ve had grandparents whitewater rafting with their grandchildren, wheelchair users reaching 110ft high in the rainforest canopy, and prosthetic users rappelling down waterfalls.
Create a Unique Itinerary
Many online packages will have a pre-set route, with the same experiences on offer. This doesn’t leave much room for spontaneity and pleasant surprises. This can make the difference between a good holiday and an exceptional one. Working with a travel agent in Costa Rica that specializes in custom trips means that you will have control over what you’d like to include. At Serendipity, we listen to you and provide an itinerary that we’ve created from scratch. We’ll take into account the time of year, the hotel style, the distance between locations, and the all-important activities to keep everyone happy.
