This trip was a great experience! I had so much fun and it was so fun to be on vacation and having a blast with, once, strangers. I will say, some of the info on the worldpackers website didn't fully match the host's itinerary, however I think the differences added more fun! I really enjoyed all the included activities and the add ons.

The surf camp was incredible, but honestly, the people are what made it so unforgettable. I came for the beaches, adventure, and sunshine, but left with so many new friendships, stories, and little moments with people i never would have met otherwise. From strangers who welcomed me like an old friend to the girls I shared the trip with, it was a reminder that the best part of travelling is rarely the places you see, it's the people you meet along the way. the surf camp will always hold a little piece of my heart.

10/10 experience! I had an amazing time in Manuel Antonio at the surf camp-long surf camp. Brett, our trip coordinator, was awesome! Super flexible, invested, and overall made the experience smooth. I had a great time and will recommend it to other travelers.

Brett is an amazing guide and host! He was able to work swiftly with the group changes, loss of members due to their own reasons and bring the small group together so well! It felt like a perfect getaway with people I had never met, and by day two we were already bonding and everything felt simple! The adjustment to the climate was the only issue I had and having a crisp AC to return to after each event was awesome! Even days I needed to stay back, I never felt left out!
