Beach Travellers

	A few of our past travellers have put forward that they want to be heard. We have taken the testimonials we received and posted them here for others to read so they can get an idea of how our travellers felt at the end of their experience with us. These testimonials are strait from the pens and keyboards of the people who were on our past trips from around the globe.

	Jeremy Begg - Calgary, Alberta - beggster_1@hotmail.com Costa Rica, July 2007 Beach Travellers hands down is the best vacation I have ever been on. Our guides Jeff and Evan were 2 amazing dudes that are there to have as much fun as everyone on the trip, if you ask nicely they will blaze the trail for one amazing fiesta in CR. Thanks guys, see you next year. I would like you to please use my email address as a reference to any perspective travellers, anyone please feel free to email me! Pura Vida!

	Alena Ouellette, Montreal, QC - leni51@hotmail.com Cost Rica, July 2007 "I came on this trip knowing very well it would be a experience of a lifetime, but prior to my trip I found myself wondering what does that really mean? I found myself blown away with how simple and organized everything was, I had the option to join the group for the day or go chill out on my own, and when your travelling that really means a lot to me. The guides, Jeff & Evan (literally the dream team), are both two amazing people that made the trip a fun and memorable experience. The size of the group made me feel like I was travelling with a group of friends rather than with 20+ others on a tour. I never once felt like I was on a tour, this trip is so far from it you can’t explain it in writing. My advice to you is to stop procrastinating and book a trip with these guys, I loved every waking moment and I know everyone else felt the same way. Thank you for putting together such a memorable trip guys! I hope to travel with you again next season."

	Michaela Pratt - Edmonton, Alberta - michaela_0550@hotmail.com Costa Rica, August 2007 "I went to Costa Rica in August 2007 and had the TIME OF MY LIFE!! From the time I we landed to the time we took off for home, a smile never left my face. The whole trip was such an eye opening experience as we learned about the people, and the culture of Costa Rica. The trip was extremely laid back which was exactly what I was looking for; I made amazing friends that I still keep in touch with today. We got to hang out on beautiful beaches, ATV trekking, zip lining and tonnes of other totally awesome activities. The guides are absolutely amazing and I wouldnâ��t even think of travelling with another tour company!"

	Jay Wiltzen - Edmonton, Alberta - jwiltzen@ualberta.ca Costa Rica, June 2007 I signed up for this trip as a first time traveller not knowing what to expect. I was shown around a new country with an awesome group of people with two guides that made the trip a blast! I did more activities in 2 weeks than I’ve done in a whole year. I really liked the fact that the places we saw, and the things we did were, for the most part, not really touristy. I remember walking down the coast in Montezuma and stumbling upon Playa Grande – the biggest beach I’ve ever seen with crystal clear water, and we were the only people on the entire beach! The people I met, the things I saw, and having two guides that just seemed like two buddies, made this trip probably two of the best weeks I’ve ever had. . They partied with us, and hung out, while still showing us everything Costa has to offer. If you’re considering travelling, do it through Beach Travellers!! PURA VIDA

	Tessa Harrington – Vancouver, BC - tessaharrington@hotmail.com Costa Rica, June 2007 Costa Rica was absolutely amazing, and travelling with beach travellers was the best decision ever!! We had the most amazing time and got to experience so much in our short too weeks!! My only complaint would be that it should have been longer!!! I didn’t want to go home! We did everything from surfing, to petting crocodiles, and partying. All our accommodations were great and everyone in our group was great to travel with. The guides were amazing and very knowledgeable about all the areas! They definitely made the trip a great experience for everyone! I will never forget this trip!! It was the best time of my life so far!! Next year...THAILAND!!!! ...and Bali?!?!

	Zach Whitman, Vancouver, BC - z_whitman@hotmail.com Thailand, May 2007 "I don't think you can put a price on the experience that Beach Travellers has perfected over the years. It was absolutely mind blowing each and everyday. The guides especially exceeded all of my expectations, they provided a perfect balance of professionalism and fun, and they definitely know where the party's at. The activities they organized were always amazing, but not so many it was overwhelming, there was always time to do my own thing. The sights, sounds, food, culture, parties, beaches; there wasn't anything I didn't enjoy. Riding elephants in the river? I don't think I've ever had more fun in my life. If you were to ask me if I would travel with these guys again in the future, In a %$@# heartbeat! That being said, I am on my way to Costa Rica! Thanks for everything, you really opened my eyes to things I didn't even know existed, what a way to live. Choke Dee Kup!"

	Raine Playfair - Vancouver, BC - raine.playfair@gmail.com Thailand, May 2007 "I had a fantastic time during the Thailand May 2007 trip. The sights and activities we did and saw were amazing, and I came back with so many great memories due to the places we went and the people we went with. I really appreciated the work the guides did for us because it made the trip easy and worry-free compared to traveling by oneself. The planned activities let you do and see some really great stuff and the places we went were diverse and let you see some of the best parts of Thailand. I think the group really clicked and we made some good friends and have a lot of crazy memories and photos to look back on. I think the trip balanced partying and other activities well â�� we got to experience the best of the Thai nightlife as well as the best of the Thai daylife (for lack of a better word). Loved the beaches and the rainforest and the crazy streets of Bangkok and Iâ��ll miss the people, the amazing food, and the cheap beer"

	Alex Humphrey - New Westminister, BC - outlaw_604@hotmail.com Costa Rica, July 2006 & August 2007 "Im almost certain that not a day goes by where I don't daydream remembering something that happened down in Costa Rica. It was the most fun by far I have ever had in my life! There was nothing I really could have done to prepare myself for how that trip would change me. Graeme & Jeff you guys are professional guides and know how to have show everyone an awesome time. Thank you very much once again. To everyone else GO TO COSTA RICA WITH BEACH TRAVELLERS!!! PURA VIDAÃ�ï¿½ con leche.

	Krystina Pawylyshyn - Vancouver, BC - kristyna_o5@hotmail.com Costa Rica, July 2006 Every time people ask me how my trip to Costa Rica was, I tell them it was "the best trip of my life." Everything about it was awesome! The locations, the accommodations, the activities, the nightlife and especially the guides! As one of the girls on the trip I couldn't have felt more comfortable and safe in such a foreign country. Thanks for making this trip so amazing!

	Aryan Eftekhari, Vancouver, British Columbia - Aryan.Eftekhari@gmail.com Thailand, May 2006 "I experienced things I would have never dreamed of doing. I ate shark, scorpion, snakes blood, bull tongue, visited a hidden lagoon and belayed down a cliff. The tour guides were well prepared for all situations. They had a good balance between friend and guiding on a professional level. We were never left in an uncomfortable position. You couldn’t put a price on the experience I got from the trip."

	Rachel Steed - Toronto, Ontario - Thailand, May 2006 "Every time I stop to think about my experience with Beach Travellers this past May 2006, many memories run through my mind never failing to make me smile and laugh. The significance of this experience could never have been forecasted by a picture of a beach or a description of the destinations not yet known. It is a journey full of discovery, friendship and learning. As I sit down to reflect I realize you can't put such an amazing time into words. Travel provides the means to realize what you know of the world but have yet to see. Beach Travellers takes you there and shows you the magic of the islands, the beauty of Thai culture and adventures that unexpectedly lead you to yourself. I would do it all again in a heartbeat."

	Mike Jacobsen - Vancouver, British Columbia - mdjacobsen@hotmail.com Costa Rica, January 2007 Prior to heading to Costa Rica my travels were limited to North America. I have had friends tell me stories about their trips abroad and their stories were always concluded with, you just don't understand until you experience it yourself. Now I understand! The experiences, adventures and memories can not be done justice by any photo, video or story. My trip with Beach Travellers to Costa Rica opened my eyes and made me appreciate some things in life that I can only describe by saying, Pura Vida. Thank you Beach Travellers for the true experience of a lifetime!
