    My husband and I are officially addicted to your channel! We hope to visit you guys later this year, with the intentions of checking out Costa Rica for a permanent move later next year. We have two children as well, so thank you for all the information videos! We really appreciate your hard work and great insight. Thank you Chris and Shayna!

    One of our local friends, in Tambor, does charters to the Island as well. Tavo's family has had a beach spot, to the east of Zumba tours, on the island for years. His boat is smaller than the one you took, but we have gone with him 6 or 8 times with friends in the last 12 years.
    We were there in December, and saddly the local mascot, Willamena, ( a crippled wild boar ) had past away during the covid year. She loved laying at your feet as you buried her in sand. It was pretty neat how tame a wild boar can get!

      Awesome! This is great to know. Maybe next time we will contact your local friend and have him take us out. Honestly, when it comes to doing things like this, we much rather prefer to have local people take us privately to certain attractions so that we can do things at our own pace and not be on other people's timing and schedules 😊

    Thank you for this Chris.
    Beautiful place and a wonderful touristy thing to do. Not something I know you’d do all the time, a little pricey but Hey, nice change of pace.
    Nice shots underwater and the editing on the sound was excellent. Great looking water and sand.
    Those Coco-Locos and Pina Colada’s looked so good. Eat healthy and drink alcohol as well.
    Visiting you guys is on my list of things I defiantly have to do, you’re on my list as soon as I get my car and start to explore.

      Oh yeah!!
      I’ve been watching for a few years now as you know, won some prizes too. I’m not going to pass up the opportunity to stay at “Sea Casa”. 😎
      Right now I’m on the SUV/4x4 hunt with a limited budget. I will be coming up that way and also stopping to visit some other friends in the Jaco area. I’ll put my reservation in when I get things more firmed up. No worries. 😁
      I just have to watch one of your restaurant videos to see where I’d like to go for dinner.

    I spend a lot of time in Montezuma and playa Samara. Never did this trip But my Zuma tour water taxi to Jaco Made a detour here And it was a very beautiful spot. Zuma tours is excellent. Maybe I will go to Isla Tortuga in December on my way from Jaco to Samara.

      Humidity depends on location in Costa Rica and time of year, there are so many micro climates here. This also goes for allergies
