“Nikki & Ricky Solano: Pura Vida! eh? Incorporated
We were recommended to your services by a coworker who had just gotten back from Costa Rica. He had nothing but positive things to say about Pura Vida! eh? How professional it was dealing with you and the ease at which they booked their activities, even with a last minute changes to their itinerary. Everything went smoothly. So with that type of review we decided to contact you to assist with our travels. We were impressed with how quickly you responded to our emails and the suggestions on tweaking our itinerary. Costa Rica has so much to offer, do and see so having someone that knows the country and willing to give honest helpful advise was such a bonus. Nikki gave us wonderful suggestions for our 2 weeks in Costa Rica pack in a taste of the Jungle, Volcanos, 2 day River Rafting trip, canals of Tortuguero, transportation across the country even hotel bookings! Everything went so smoothly and on time! Eliminating worry and enabling us to enjoy our vacation. Every company they were affiliated with were professional, clean, friendly, courteous, and had great pride and knowledge in their country. We can’t say enough about how fantastic our vacation was. We would highly recommend the services of Pura Vida! eh? to anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica. Thanks to the wonderful advise and suggestions from Nikki it made our vacation something that will stay with us forever. Pura Vida”

“Hi Nikki, Our shuttle from SJO to the Treehouses hotel was worth every penny.  As we exited the airport, we had a driver waiting for us and whisked us away quickly.  We got to our Treehouse ahead of schedule despite the rain and the dark.  The car we rented through you was also so easy.  They dropped off our car to us at the Treehouse on schedule and had everything ready for us to sign thanks to your correspondence with them.  It was much nicer than waiting in line at the rental agency.  We would definitely recommend you to all of our friends and family that travel to Costa Rica in the future.  We will definitely be back and we will be in touch to book services with you again.”

“We had a fantastic trip to Costa Rica. Hard to believe, but it exceeded our expectations. The beauty of your country is only exceeded by the graciousness of the Costa Rican people. Your service was impeccable. I appreciate your thorough correspondence. The two excursions we booked through you were both top notch, and went very smoothly. What else could we say, great service and we saved money. Keep up the good work, and the ;B’ family cannot wait to return. We will certainly seek out your services when we do.”

“Nikki, Thank you so much! I have been wanting to send you an email and refer your company puravidaeh! because without you, our family would never had such a great experience! Your patience, recommendation, expertise and the tours were amazing and your discounted prices for the hotels and tours was greatly appreciated. We all had a great time and enjoyed Costa Rica. What a beautiful country and nice people everywhere we went! We experienced the natural wonders of the rainforest, volcanoes, rivers and beaches. Thank you for your kind generosity and donating to PETA on our behalf. Pura Vida!”

“We are so happy we found Pura Vida Eh? Incorporated because they made planning our trip to Costa Rica very easy!  We were running short of time to plan all our activities in Costa Rica (across various areas) and we were more than happy to come across Nikki at Pura Vida Eh? Incorporated.  Nikki contacted all the tour operators and arranged transportation for us with a very quick turnaround time.  Nikki was very detail oriented and made sure that we understood everything we needed to know about the tours (what time we would be picked up, payment options, what to bring, etc).  Organization on the front end is great, but we also had a seamless trip – no confusion with tour operators, no missed connections or pick ups.  I think this is a testament to the great planning of Nikki and Pura Vida Eh? Incorporated.  We would definitely recommend using this company for any needs you have in planning your trip to Costa Rica. Thanks again for all your help!”

“Even though our rafting adventure was cancelled due to weather conditions we were so happy you recommended we head to La Fortuna a day early and thanks for being so amazingly proactive by giving us options on how to get there and by making a reservation for us to arrive a night early at the Arenal Springs resort – we loved it!  All of the staff were so friendly there and it felt like an absolute oasis. Desafio is a great company and we enjoyed both the rafting, canyoneering and transit with them and really appreciated the discounted rates you were able to offer for us with both the hotels and tours we did.  The combo tour with Canoa adventures was fantastic and Edson’s passion for nature and birds was quite infectious. My husband became quite the bird lover after this tour! Arriving in Monteverde during a rain storm wasn’t overly exciting for us, but being welcomed at Monteverde Villa lodge like we were part of the family was a wonderful experience.  I will be sure to go online and share my recommendation for this warm, friendly and comfortable lodge. We loved the ziplining with Sky Trek and we even had an opportunity to see the beautiful scenery of Monteverde by horseback in the afternoon.  We were hoping for some sun when we got down to Manuel Antonio but unfortunately it rained a lot. Regardless, it’s a beautiful place and we would recommend the Falls hotel (and it’s restaurant) to other travellers. If we ever return to CR to visit the places we didn’t have time to go to on this trip, or if we have any friends/family heading there, I’ll be sure to contact you again!  Thanks for being such a great resource and I really enjoyed all of our correspondence as you are always so thorough and quick in your email responses!!”

“We just got back from our vacation today. I wanted to thank you for planning such a wonderful time for us. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The itineraries and vouchers you provided were extremely helpful and convenient. I would without a doubt recommend your services to the next person I hear about going to Costa Rica. Thank you again. All the tours you planned were fabulous. I would not change anything about them. We loved the service providers and the overall experience. Nikki, again thanks again for all your efforts on this. This was my favourite vacation of all time. S and I had such a wonderful time and participated in activities (rafting, canyoning) that both of us experienced for the first time and absolutely loved. The service providers we came across were so warm and fun. Thank you again. Pura Vida!”

“Thank you for planning for us such a wonderful trip and vacation. We enormously enjoyed our tour to your country.  The choice of hotels, tours and guides was very successful. All our guides were very knowledgable and attentive. The tours  we have chosen – like Tortuga  Cruise –  were great as well as the choice of the companies (for example the company  in  Monteverde  that performed  the canopy.) We loved the hotels we were staying in, especially Manatus  and Corin Royal, the location of the Presidente and the hotel itself was great. But all these details (like  tours, activities, hotels, guides and chauffeurs) as lovely as they are, yet, in my opinion  secondary  detail  to the main attraction – the country itself and it’s lovely people. Very often people ask me, in Israel as well as in Costa Rica, if it’s worthwhile to fly half the world in order to visit Costa Rica and my response, without any hesitation, is always the same:  YESSSS! Nikki we had a great time in Costa Rica and enjoyed very much working with you and your company, I would certainly recommend it  to other people.”

“I am glad that I have the opportunity to once again share with you how much we enjoyed our trip. It was spectacular and the events that you helped us plan and coordinate were fantastic. In fact, all three of my girls are begging to go back next summer so you will likely hear from me again in March as I begin planning our return visit in August. I have told everyone that I know that our trip was such a success due to the help we had from you! It is still hard to believe that your services were entirely free.”

“Pura Vida! eh? – Highly Recommended for Travel to CR! I just returned from a fabulous 10 days in Costa Rica with my two kids (15/12) and used Pura Vida Eh? for much of my in-country travel planning. (The” Eh?” comes from the fact that one of the company’s owners is originally from Canada). I originally came across this company by accident and now, having dealt with them, I have no hesitation in giving Pura Vida Eh? my highest recommendation. Nikki Solano was a complete pleasure to deal with and provided me with an incredible amount of good, honest and accurate information throughout the process. She was always friendly and fast to respond to my numerous questions. When a brief hiccup occurred during the trip (that had nothing to do with Pura Vida, Eh?), Nikki was right on it and helped me during the trip. You don’t pay Pura Vida, Eh? directly. They simply issue vouchers that you can use with the providers of the lodging, tours, transportaion, etc. We used Pura Vida, Eh? to book lodging in Tortuguero and Manuel Antonio, in-country air travel, rental cars, lodging and tours. I booked some of the other things simply on my own. No problems or pressure whatsoever – everything was perfectly arranged – and we saved some money in the process. So will you. Pura Vida, Eh? – honestly – is like having a friend that lives locally in Costa Rica help you plan out your travels. If you are looking for some help – and you probably are or you wouldn’t be here – I highly recommend Pura Vida, Eh?!

“I just want to let all of you know, that if you are planning to travel to Costa Rica please use Pura Vida! eh? Incorporated! My wife and I planned our honeymoon through Pura Vida! eh? and we are extremely happy with the outcome of our trip. We provided Nikki with a rough idea of what type of activities we wanted to attend during our stay in Costa Rica. No only did Nikki create an itinerary for us, but also booked all of our reservations for hotels, tours, and activities. She answered all of our doubts and was very helpful along the whole trip. I must make it clear that PuraVida! eh? is absolutely FREE! There are no tricks and no extra charges. Like I said before, we had a blast in Costa Rica and we are very thankful to NIkki and Ricky for making our trip an unforgettable experience. So if you are planning your trip to Costa Rica, don’t waste any more time and contact PuraVida!eh?.. I promise you won’t regret it.”

“Pura Vida! eh? Incorporated – Incredible Service! Thanks to Nikki and all her help for making our honeymoon a dream come true! We contacted Pura Vida! Eh? in Jan 2012 for our honeymoon in July 2012 and they were with us every step of the way. Nikki was amazingly detailed, gracious and insightful – she even gave us the awesome idea of a “Honeymoon Registry” instead of a typical “Gift registry”, where our guests could purchase various aspects of our itinerary for us She created the website for us and everything. . All our guests loved it, said how easy it was, and commented on Nikki’s fantastic service.
From the moment we landed in Costa Rica, things were just perfect. Everything Nikki booked for us was on time, fun, safe, had great staff, very hospitable and gave us an incredible experience. She even recommended fantastic restaurants, and local spots for us. She provided us with discounts to the best hotels, spas, restaurants and gift shops – which saved us quite a bit. And organized every detailed allowing us to have an adventurous, relaxing AND romantic honeymoon. Best of all, their service is Free…that’s right..Free! And they make a donation on your behalf to some great organizations at the end your trip. We had a blast working with them, and highly recommend. Definitely check them out before going to Costa Rica.
Pura Vida!”

“Pura Vida eh? This FREE organization is amazing. When planning our trip to Costa Rica, I emailed Nikki, one of the owners, my ideas and thoughts and she always replied with multiple options. Once I made my selections, Pura Vida eh? completed the bookings for us. It was so easy and having an actual Costa Rican resident like Nikki providing us with the inside track was so helpful. We will be returning to Costa Rica next summer and I will be contacting Pura Vida eh? for certain.”

“Pura Vida! eh? Incorporated. I recently returned from a trip to San Jose and Manuel Antonio. We had a great time and booked several tours through Pura Vida! eh? Incorporated and was very happy with the service and the speedy repsonse time from Nikki. The tours were just as advertised and they were even cheaper than had we booked through the hotel or property manager. They also donate a percentage of what we book back to a charity in Costa Rica. Thank you very much Nikki and staff at Pura Vida!”

“Using Pura Vida Eh? Incorporated to plan your trip! GREAT! I just wanted to throw out to those planning a trip to Costa Rica how amazing and helpful I found Pura Vida Eh? Incorporated! I somehow got it into my head that I was going to go on a solo trip to Costa Rica; I had no idea what I was doing or how to go about planning it. After a quick google search, I found Pura Vida Eh? Incorporated http://www.puravidaeh.ca/ and after one email from Nikki, I was confident that I had found the right place. Nikki arranged and booked an outstanding itinerary – I went to Arenal and Manuel Antonio and each day was packed with adventures – white water rafting, ziplining, tours, etc with great companies, with stays in beautiful and affordable rooms. And she was able to get me great deals on everything! What makes this company truly remarkable is the excellent customer service. You can expect detailed and quick responses to any question – no matter how silly. They seem to go above and beyond to make sure their clients are having the best time ever – for example, the airline lost my luggage and I was stressing on how I was going to go white water rafting my first day in the country. Nikki actually offered me her own clothes so I would be able to go! Just amazing. This company will offer you assistance, advice, and help you plan – whether it is one trip or your whole vacation! I highly recommend them.”

“Thank you for handling our zip wire canopy adventure in Arenal so efficiently. You were very responsive to all my emails and provided accurate and timely information whenever I had a question. Your service was much superior to most others. I would be happy to recommend you whenever I have the chance.”

“My wife and I just got back from our Costa Rican honeymoon a few days ago so I’m just getting around to writing reviews on our hotels, restaurants, and activities. For about half of our adventures I prebooked with Pura Vida! eh? Incorporated. I did my research ahead of time to make sure they were legit since they don’t charge any fees. On average I think I saved about 15% with them, which really helped. They were extremely helpful and quick to respond.”

“Pura Vida! Eh? Best customer service!!!! Unfortunately I didn’t find out about Pura Vida! eh? Until 2 days before we left for Costa Rica. I contacted them and within an hour I heard back from Nikki and she was working on setting things up for me! It was truly amazing what she all did for me…I felt like she was my personal travel advisor because she would always get back to me within minutes with answers to all my questions. She got all our tours for the Arenal volcano area set up for me within 24 hours!!! Besides the best customer service, the tours she got us on were discounted!! I can’t remember having better customer service ever! I really appreciate all she did to make it work for us. We had an amazing time in Costa Rica! Thank you!!”

“Wonderful trip thanks to Pura Vida Eh! I went through Pura Vida Eh to book all of the tours during my Costa Rica trip. Nikki was a huge help in booking the tours and saving me a lot of money. We had a lot of fun and the trip went as planned. We booked a white water rafting tour, atv tour, hot springs with buffet, and rapelling tour. Each one was memorable, and we can’t wait to return. We would highly recommend Pura Vida Eh to assist in booking a trip to Costa Rica.”

“The greatest!!! These people are by far the greatest people to work and plan your Costa Rican vacation. Nikki really knew her stuff, my husband was really impressed by all her knowledge of Costa Rica and how detailed she was when we asked a question. Everything from start to finish was great and our trip was very affordable. We got to meet her husband Ricky “Shake-n-Bake” on our rafting tour and he took good care of us. If i could pay for their service I would have. An example of what we paid versus others were that we paid about $60 less than a couple who took the same tour as we did and we were told to not disclose this to them. When it came to transportation again we were told that we got a really cheap rate and to not disclose this to others on the shuttle, even the drivers were surprised about our special rate. All in all HANDS DOWN Pura Vida! eh? is awesome and great to work with.”

“Pura Vida Eh? Inc. really know their stuff! Nikki did a great job helping us pan our trip and providing great advice on what we should do in Costa Rica and who the great companies are that we should book our events through. We had no problems and everything went off without a hitch! I would recommend them and use them again, thanks Nikki!”

“Pura Vida eh! The single BEST TRAVEL FIND… EVER!!! Many, many hours went into planning this trip to Costa Rica and without any doubt, the BEST way to plan your trip is through Pura Vida eh!. Nikki is single handedly responsible for providing very knowledgable, entirely unbiased, completely honest advice. The service she provides is simply stated…OUTSTANDING!!! The travel experience was, by far, the BEST we have ever had!!! Nikki not only provided the best advice, but also arranged all tours and transfers with the best tour guides we have ever had the pleasure of… while offering discounts on virtually everything, saving us literally hundreds of dollars! EVERY DETAIL was looked after and outlined in the most concise package for our family of 5. My being disabled presented a series of additional challenges and I can only commend everyone involved for exceptional attention and service! As an example, one tour guide (Juan) stayed with me at the beach while another (Edgar) escorted the rest of our group through the National Park. You simply can’t beat that! NEVER, EVER A WORRY!!! Thanks in large part to Nikki, this trip went off without a hitch! NIKKI… Your help is invaluable and so very much appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!”

“Without a doubt the best decision I made was utilizing there services. While planning my AWESOME vacation to Costa Rica I did a lot of research to try and get both the best pricing as well as the best excursions. Pura Vida! Eh? Just can’t be beat!!! They have the expertise as well as the personal contacts that get you the best pricing for exactly what you are looking for. Nikki was extremely knowledgeable in all the activities and super responsive to all my emails. Me and my girlfriend rented a 4×4 car, went caving, horseback riding, rappelling, whitewater rafting & zip lining all through Pura Vida! Eh? Not one hiccup on any of them and probably saved $300+ (at least $100 just on the car). Thanks Nikki!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Thank you Puravida! Eh? I found Puravida! Eh? through Trip Advisor and I’m so glad I did. From the first moment I contact the company I can tell this is the right one ( I had been contact several tour companies before Purevida!eh). Nikki was very nice & friendly yet very professional. Her knowledge about the country is very good. She answered all my questions very fast, explain everything to me precisely and she saved me money too! I was so pleased with her and I’m very picky! Our trip went so smoothly and everything was perfect! We had a wonderful trip. Nikki was the best! If you want to plan a trip to Costa Rica and save times and money, PuraVida!

“If planning a trip to Costa Rica do it through Nikki! I cannot say enough about Nikki and Pura Vida Eh! She planned all of my excursions and rental car. She saved me over $100 on a car! She also coordinated all of my excursions for me. Her emails were precise and accurate and very informative. She really helped me to make decisions about about which excursions to do in the Arenal and Manuel Antonio areas. If you think if would be difficult to plan everything through email…think again! I used email to communicate with Nikki only. I was flawless! Not only did Nikki cooridinate everything for me she saved me money on each activity. I even had email contact with her while I was there to help with directions and so on. She always responded to me promptly. If I go to Costa Rica again, which I want to already, I will use Pura Vida Eh and you should too. You will have your own personal travel agent without being charged but instead saving money! Thank you Nikki!!”

“Just do it – contact them! I can’t say enough about how wonderful Nikki and Pura Vida! Eh? are. I had researched and planned and researched and planned. I thought I had things figured out, then came across Pura Vida! Eh? on Tripadvisor and thought I’d run my itinerary by them and see if they could get better prices for me. I wish I had contacted them sooner. I could have saved soooo much time. Nikki’s knowledge and insight into the country and all it has to offer were so helpful. We ended up changing our La Fortuna hotel based on her recommendations, and are very happy that we did. Nikki arranged for transfer from the airport for us, then arranged for us to do white water rafting during our transfer from La Fortuna to Jaco, which saved us time and money. She also arranged for transfer back to the airport from Jaco. Everything Nikki arranged for us went smoothly, and helped us be able to relax both before and during our trip. Don’t hesitate to contact Pura Vida, Eh? You’ll be thankful that you did.”

“Everything you’ll ever need to plan your adventure vacation. We wanted to go to Costa Rica to get both adventure and a tropical getaway. Soon enough in our planning, we found ourselves overwhelmed because this vast country had so much to offer that we didn’t know where to start. Nikki provided us with everything we needed to know about what excursions were out there, transportation needed to get there, etc. Plus, she planned everything for us, gave us great suggestions on where to go and what to do, AND arranged for great discounts. The country’s attractions are simply too abundant and geographically dispersed, and that’s why so many tourists seek Nikki out to plan their adventures:) In a nutshell, we had an UNFORGETTABLE experience in Costa Rica and could NOT have done it without Nikki.”

“Nikki is truly amazing! We booked our tours with Nikki before we left home. We booked Marlin Del Ray snorkeling sunset tour out of Coco Beach on March 20 and the Buena Vista Mega Tour on March 21. I did a lot of research before booking and Nikki was truly amazing!! SO patient with me and ALL my questions!!! Nikki was SO informative. There wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer. I hope more people find this site and use Pura Vida! Eh?!!!! We learned about them through Nikki’s cousin who is one of our best friend’s here at home. With that being said, we knew we could trust them and get the best prices!!! Thank you SO much Nikki for putting up with me!!! You ARE the best!! Pura Vida!!!”

“Prompt and superb service for travel, accommodations and tours!!!! During an online search while preparing for our first trip to Costa Rica we stumbled upon Pura Vida! eh?. The prompt reply to our first inquiry gave us an initial sense of confidence which continued to grow as our plans for a personal itinerary evolved. Nikki provided detailed responses to our inquiries and offered many valuable suggestions for our consideration based on local knowledge. Our trip to San Jose, Sarapiqui, La Fortuna, Monteverde and Cartago was most enjoyable without any complications. Even as we made additions while already in Costa Rica, Nikki responded quickly to our e-mail inquiries. Her knowledge and clear information contributed to a memorable trip to a beautiful country! We were impressed by the tourism infrastructure in Costa Rica as presented through this small firm which does not charge the traveller for its service!!”

“Nikki and Ricky were truly amazing for helping book our honeymoon in Costa Rica. We booked tours, hotels, and transportation with her, all of which worked out 100% perfectly. We even got discounts on all of the stuff we booked with them. Kind of amazing to pay less for something and have someone plan it for you. Nikki was an absolute pleasure to deal with – enthusiastic, professional, perfect recommendations, and always quick to respond to our questions. Her emails were always so thorough, you can tell she really cares about what she does. La Fortuna / Arenal has a ton of tour companies, some of which have been known to take advantage of tourists. It’s so great to have a company there who do such an amazing job. USE THEM! You’ll thank yourself.”

“Pura Vida! EH? MAZING! Costa Rica!! What an amazing country!! My wife and I recently returned from 8 days in Costa Rica, and what an amazing trip! Truth be told when we decided we were going to go away I was pretty much set on an all inclusive. Let’s face it when it comes to planning a fun in the sun getaway it doesn’t get much easier than that, and I’m a pretty simple person. Decide where you want to go, book the trip, and show up on your departure date… everything is taken care of. Besides I’ve never been a “touring” kind of person. My wife however was set on a tour in Costa Rica which we knew was going to require some planning… All I can say is thank God for Pura Vida! Eh? And thank God for Nikki!! Here is the thing. Most couples plan their trips well in advance. For us this was kind of a last minute thing, and we had a little less than 2 weeks to pull it all off. We’re talking everything from hotels, tours, transportation to and from the airport, and the list goes on. This would not have been possible in that timeframe without the help of Pura Vida! eh? They worked with us day and night to ensure our trip met all of our expectations and that everything was ready to go by our departure date. When all was said and done it was the best trip we’ve ever had!! The intinerary Pura Vida! eh? provided with all of our accomodations and tours was executed without a hitch!! In fact I’m not sure we could do another all inclusive… next trip I think we’ll be heading back to CR to see all the things we didn’t get to see, and you can bet we’ll be planning that through Pura Vida! eh? as well. I’d say to anyone, if you’re planning a trip to CR you have no business doing it any other way than the Pura Vida! eh? Way!!”

“Excellent service and detail This was our second visit to Costa Rica and from experience we knew how invaluable it is to have someone handle all your hotel, transportation and tour bookings. From our first contact with Nikki we knew we had the right company. Quick responses and patience with our changing requests were the order of the day. All the accomodations, transport and tours that Nikki suggested were super and we recieved discounts by using Pura Vida Eh!. With the detail that Nikki provides your job is to just show up and enjoy a special holiday. Pura Vida Eh! would definitely be our first contact on any future trips to Costa Rica.”

“Made My Trip! My husband and I returned from our 11 day Costa Rica trip Jan 14th, 2012. I had been researching my trip for the better part of 2011 and had a few questions that really stopped the progression of my planning. I found a response by Nikki of Pura Vida! eh? on trip advisor that instantly drew me to contact her. That was my best decision ever. I needed answers that could best be answered by a local and she responded to my inquiries immediately. I am a seasoned traveler, independently planning the majority of our trips, but this trip would not have been as perfect as it was without the gracious, professional help of Pura Vida! eh? and Nikki and Ricky. My initial questions grew into a fully planned adventure of exactly what we wanted. Nikki and Ricky are the definition of costumer service. Nikki responded to every email quickly, professionally and with great detail and options to fit my desired experience. I cannot say enough! I wanted a particular atmosphere on our beach portion of our trip and Nikki helped me find just the right beach that totally exceeded my expectation. I had a particular hotel feel I wanted while we stayed in the Arenal area and again we finalized our hotel pick with Nikki’s knowledge. Absolutely the perfect match! The services were completely free and we received discounts on the very same adventure companies and hotels that other vacationers were using as well, but at regular price. Incredible deal and service and commitment. I have already recommended Pura Vida! eh? to a colleague and would highly recommend this company and Nikki and Ricky to anyone – whether you just have a question or two or desire a fully planned vacation, they are the best. Pura Vida!”

“I’m so thankful I found Pura Vida! Eh? before going to Costa Rica!!! Anyone who is planning a trip to Costa Rica MUST get in touch with Pura Vida! Eh? They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! And the best part is that their services are FREE! They make great recommendations for arranging your trip, hotels, transportation, activities, and more. They even offer discounts on almost everything–they saved us a lot of money. Not only so they save you money, but they also donate funds back to worthy causes–I truly admire that. Nikki was AMAZING! She always provided useful information and never made you feel pressured to book things through her (like other companies I’ve worked with). She also responds to your questions/emails very quickly. Our trip to Costa Rica wouldn’t have been as incredible without Nikki’s help. THANK YOU!!!!!!”

“Great service! Thanks a lot! This company provided a lot of help during my last minute planning. they went very far trying to help and answering various questions. I also pleased that using them I was able to save on some tours such as Desafio and Sky advanture. I wish I knew about them earlier in the process when I booked hotels, so it could be more savings. Thanks! Great job!”

“Nicki is great! I contacted Pura Vida Eh? Before coming to Costa Rica. I sent her my itinerary and she suggested better ordering of my journey, and gave me ideas of what to do. I then booked a few hotels through her, and all my transfers across Costa Rica. And it saved me money – no cost to me for her service. And nicki was lovely!

Thank You! Nikki & Rikki, We owe this overdue thank you to both of you. To be honest, I have never written a review before but felt it’s only fair to let others know how wonderful you are. There’s too much good things to say about you and I can only sum it in a few words…thank you for being patience (I admit I have been painful but am amazes at how you were so patience with me), helpful and most importantly honest in helping me planning my vacation last year. With your help planning and having Rikki as our rafting guide was more than we asked for. We all had the best vacation of our lives!!! Cheerios to you both!!! Huggzzz. We miss you both.

Pura Vida! eh? Inc is PURA AMAZING!!!!!!!! This was my first time traveling to Costa Rica–and first time flying solo–so I needed some help! After doing my research online I came across this company, “Pura Vida! eh? Inc.” I didn’t know much about them, but saw they were offering discounts so I figured, “Hey, let’s give em a try!” Well I am so happy and grateful I did. Thanks to Nikki (my booking agent) I had the time of my life in Costa Rica. To say the very least, my trip was amazing. She saved me so much money and only referred me to reputable companies that were guaranteed to be safe, reliable, and show me a good time. From zip lining to where to stay, to coupons, to shuttles, Nikki helped me with it all and my entire itinerary was a seamless plan.Then to make matters even better, once I/we were finished with planning my trip when I was actually IN Costa Rica, Nikki stayed in touch to make sure everything went well. I had a few hiccups with reservations and Nikki was right there with me to fix them in a jiffy! I was so thankful to Nikki and her husband “Ricky Bobby” (rafting operator w/ Exploradores Outdoors) for helping me plan a trip of a life time! Conclusion: If you are headed to Costa Rica BE SURE to contact Pura Vida before you go! This company will do nothing but serve as an immense help in making sure you have a great time. PURA VIDA! From the bottom of my heart, “Thank You Nikki!” P.S. I’ll be back *wink*; Costa Rica was beautiful and amazing

Pura Vida! eh? Nikki and Ricky are fantastic! I can’t say enough about how wonderful an experience it was having Nikki and Ricky Solano organize our trip. From start to finish it was flawless. From the first email to Pura Vida! eh? requesting an itinerary to last minute questions or changes Nikki responded almost immediately. She is so professional, friendly and easy to work with and she will create a trip itinerary that will leave you happy and satisfied – even if it’s on short notice (as was our trip). We made a few changes in the itinerary during the course of setting this up and even well into it and she was so accommodating and flexible that I didn’t have to stress at all about our Costa Rican adventure. We are a family of three and our trip included canyoning, zip lining, hiking, several tours, lots of transportation to and from our various locals (San Jose, Arenal/La Fortuna. Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, San Jose, the airport) Everything went off without a hitch. I never worried about missing a tour or being late because the people and companies that Nikki and Ricky work with are top notch. They were on-time, the tours and guides were fantastic they got us back to our hotel tired and happy. My husband had the good fortune of having Ricky as his river guide on the Pacuare Rafting tour. He’s a great guide and a great guy. Nikki worked hard to ensure that we had great prices on everything. Any questions I had – no matter how lame they might be – Nikki responded with great answers and almost immediately. Don’t spend a lot of time looking for travel agents – stick with Nikki and Ricky Solano at Pura Vida! eh? I don’t know if they handle air to Costa Rica. My only regret is that we didn’t meet Nikki while we were in La Fortuna. She deserves a big hug!

Pura Vidah eh? like having your own personal tour guide! My wife and I took our two 17 year old daughters to Costa Rica as a graduation gift. We spent 5 days on the west coast (Jaco) and 5 days in the Rain Forest (near the volcano) and finished with a day of river rafting and two days in the capital city of San Jose’. Nikki and Rikki of Pura Vida eh? were available by e-mail every step of the way, We made a few mid course changes-no problem. Every tour selected was absolutely stuuuuuupendous!
A day cruise to Tortuga Isle with snorkeling; the National Parks and wildlife spotting (birds,birds, birds!); Zip Lines; Horseback Riding; Kayaking near the Volcano; and the museums in the Capital City. The Marriott on the Coast and Volcano Lodge and Gardens were great choices with excellent food right on site (very good coffee). Our teen daughter duaughters now at Penn State and Bowdoin College still talk about the great vacation earlier this year. Pura Vida eh? gave great discounts and excellent advice. I would not go back to Costa Rica without them.

Easy booking – delivered as promised. Booked a waterfall repelling tour with them. The online booking was easy. The tour went off without a problem. The tour was fantastic. I would book with “Pura Vida! Eh?” again.

A must use service when travelling to Costa Rica! I normally don’t write reviews, but this time I felt compelled to because of the wonderful experience with Nikki from Pura Vida! eh? It is very difficult to exceed my expectations, but Nikki did just that. We were a group of six (four adults and two young children) and spent two weeks in Costa Rica. Travelling with young children isn’t easy, so I wanted to plan out all the details before we left. I had a TON of questions while planning our trip. Over the course of over 50 emails, Nikki expertly (and patiently) answered questions about transportation, accommodations, attractions, tours, restaurants, driving distances/times, taxis, car rentals, cell phone rentals, weather, medical clinic locations, grocery store locations, car seat laws, etc. She did so promptly and with enough detail to satisfy a detail junkie like me. Nikki often went a step beyond and contacted vendors directly to find answers to my questions or request specialized tour services. As a result of Nikki’s help, I had everything planned out from beginning to end, and knew the exact cost for each item. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about arranging anything after we arrived. The tours and accommodation provided were very good quality and we had a great time. To make it even better, it didn’t cost a penny and even saved us money on all our bookings. I do not hesitated to recommend Pura Vida! eh? You won’t regret it!

Don’t leave home without checking in with them… We spent 2 weeks in CR in 12/11, staying in Alahuela, La Fortuna, Monteverde, and Manual Antonio. We found Pura Vida eh? through TripAdvisor and it is one of the best tips we’ve ever gotten. We had booked all of our hotels on our own before we learned abour Pura Vida, eh?. Nikki booked all our transfers and activities. Nikki’s thorough, reliable, and endlessly patient. Everything is exactly as she described and all the transfers/activities went off without a hitch. We had multiple last minute plan changes (in response to the very unpredicatable weather), Nikki accommodated all our needs. She is fast and responsive on the email. So despite the very rainy weather (la Nina induced weirness we’re told), the trip turned out to be wonderfully enjoyable.Here’s an example of Nikki’s wonderfulness: When we were planning our trip, I sent her a list of all the hot springs in Arenal I knew about through my research and asked her to tell us the pros and cons of each. She did that and then some! She advised us that of all the hot springs available in Arenal, the best one (one that we never even heard of) was at The Springs Resort. That was absolutely the best advise/tour we’ve had on our trip. It rained hard 2 out of the 3 days that we were in Arenal. Having a 2 day pass to The Springs was great as we were able to soak in gorgeous hot springs in a beautiful, uncroweded, protected setting even while it rained. So, instead of twiddling our thumbs in our hotel room as the rain made our other planned activites unattractive, we happily hung out at the hot springs. A side benefit: the prolonged soaking did wonders for my skin!!! Thanks so much Nikki! Your advise turned what could have been a dismal few days into a couple of the best days of our trip! We just showed our pictures from the trip to our family today. Everyone was amazed at how gorgeous Costa Rica is and asked us to plan a family trip. I’ll certainly be using Nikki for that trip! So, Nikki, until soon…

The best decision we made for our vacation. My husband and I had a wonderful holiday in Costa Rica. I would like to share our experience with a company I found named Pura Vida eh. Nikki was just fantastic from day one. She was so good and quick to answer ALL of my many questions. When our trip plans were set, we didn’t have to give her credit card information for any of the tours we booked and she just emailed us all of the confirmations which worked out well. We booked everything with her (transportation and tours) except our stay at an all-inclusive at the end of our vacation and we saved so much. She had the best prices for almost everything! Everything was so nice and easy. We went to Arenal, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, and Puntarenas, and there is nothing we would have changed. We hope to return and if so we will certainly use Pura Vida eh again.

Exceptional! Nikki and Ricky at Pura Vida! eh? are the best traveler agents i have ever worked with! From the moment i emailed Nikki to the moment we arrived in Costa Rica they were the most responsive and helping agents. Nikki went above and beyond to help us setup the tours on our terms and our schedule. And the discounts she managed to arrange were better than anyone else. They would respond to my emails usually the same day and can really hold your hand if you need it. We ended up booking the Skytrek/Tram/Walk, Mambo Combo and 2-day The Springs day pass with dinner though them and recommended them to two other couple we met at the hotel. We couldn’t be happier. Also, my wife and I were visiting a small school in La Fortuna to donate the school supplies. Since we don’t speak English Ricky volunteered to be our interpreter. If you don’t know Ricky is rafting tour guide, so he took a day off just to accompany us to the school which we are forever grateful for. Don’t book any trips until you drop these guys a line. Pura Vida.

Best travel agency I’ve ever used. Hands down. The level of detailed, thoughtful, and helpful customer service provided by Nikki and Ricky at Pura Vida! Eh? was incredible and a breath of fresh air. Nikki went well above and beyond to help me plan 5 components of a surprise trip to Costa Rica for my wife. She always responded quickly and with very long, yet concise, e-mail replies giving me great tips and insight into planning the trip. It was like she was a close friend of ours or something. Made me feel super comfortable and like I was truly working with someone who cared. She got us some great deals and answered all of the many questions I had. They are based out of La Fortuna (near Arenal), but their knowledge is definitely not restricted to just that area. After we left the Arenal area and enjoyed all the tours and lodging we booked through Pura Vida! Eh?, on Nikki’s advice, we took a rafting trip there as a means of transportation to Puerto Viejo through Exploradores Outdoors. Her husband Ricky was our rafting guide. It was absolutely awesome and that rafting is one of our best memories from the trip, primarily because of how fun and enjoyable Ricky made the rafting experience. Pura Vida! Eh? even donated money on our behalf to the Costa Rican Save the Turtles foundation as part of their “Travelers For” project! Pretty awesome to work with a company that goes the extra mile and has their values and priorities in the right place. VERY highly recommended.

Great Customer service and discounted rates. I became aware of this company through a social networking site and then read positive reviews on trip advisor. We only booked one tour through them but saved money. Our other tour choices were not available through them unfortunately. Their was suffiecient information on the website to research the company providing the service and to get answers to specific tour questions. The voucher system was new to me but worked well. Pura Vida Eh? contacts the third party and makes your reservation but you pay the tour company directly. Pura Vida Eh? did follow up well on making sure we made our payment. Not too often to bug me but frequent enough to make sure payment was made so the reservation was finalized. (I needed a few days to contact banks to make sure foreign transactions would process ok). I would recommend this company and use them again.

“Great experience with Pura Vida! eh? We found out about this company from TA and glad that we did. Nikki, the co-owner with her husband Ricky was great to work with. She arranged for our rafting and ziplining tours along with the private transfers during our stay in CR. She was informative and patient but most importantly very prompt with email communications. We saved money booking thru her than directly with the tour operators. We ended up booking the hotels directly with the hotel website since we got a better deal but Nikki was not unhappy about it. She provided the info and rates and allowed us to pick without any sale pressure. Everything she booked for us were as advertised without any problems. Her husband was actually our guide for the Pacuare rafting tour and was great and funny too.”

“Best family trip ever on a budget even kids enjoyed. I was recommended Pura Vida, Eh? by a fellow tripadvisor and I’m so glad I booked with them. Nikki is amazing! I booked my entire trip with them, based on their 10 Day packages advertised on their website for less than a $100 a day/person. (It ended up being less than $100/day/person and we even upgraded a couple things!!) I booked a 10 day tour for 4 kids and one adult (me) in May, and in about a week, the entire trip was finalized! She literally sends you everything you need to bring and know about the activities you book— how much it is, what type of payment is accepted, what items/clothes, pick up times, etc. I didn’t have to think whatsoever! Hassle free! The tours/activities were fantastic and we had no problems whatsoever. We were picked up on time, we had transportation to and from everywhere we went, and we had FUN. She also works fast! We had a free day in La Fortuna and my family wanted to do rappelling. She booked the tour for us immediately and the next day, there was a van waiting for us outside our hotel. (:

I took my younger brothers on this trip, who are 11, 13 and 16 and they definitely enjoyed themselves. They’re rowdy boys who get bored very easily, but this trip really held their attention.I told Nikki that I wanted adventurous activities and she definitely delivered. We might have done one tour too many for them to handle, but between rafting, ziplining, rappelling, etc. they don’t have much to complain about. Book with this company, you will not be disappointed. I’m a really nit-picky person, but for once, I have no complaints. It was a perfect trip.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for the vacation you’ve always wanted, but don’t have the money (or even if you do) book with Nikki. She gets you discounted prices for the activities you do, finds amazingly cheap but fantastic hotels so that you don’t have to, and sends you completed itineraries and price lists. On top of all that, Nikki is the nicest, most patient and caring lady I’ve ever come across. I don’t know what more anyone could want out of an agency. Have a fantastic trip. I know I did. PURA VIDA! “

“I only wish we knew about them before. Ricky is the most awesome person we met in Costa Rica. He is very knowledgeable about the entire country and every destination within it, not to mention hilarious and a lot of fun. I only wish we knew about them before the second to last day of our trip or we would have done everything through them. Ricky knows so much about Costa Rica and will make sure you have a great time and save you some money at the same time. Next time we come to Costa Rica will book everything through Pura Vida! eh?”

Wonderful company. What a blessing it was to find Pura Vida! eh? Nikki was absolutely wonderful in helping me book tours and our hotel in San Jose. She was extremely helpful in offering advice, and the whole process was relatively easy. I kept changing my mind about times, tours, etc. and Nikki was really patient and always very friendly. She replies to email very quickly (which I really appreciated) and speaks perfect English being naturally Canadian! We ended up booking several tours through them and saved quite a bit, which as a young couple, we definitely appreciated! We even booked one extra tour last minute while in Costa Rica, and this wasn’t a problem at all. We also had the pleasure of having Ricky, Nikki’s husband, act as our guide while rafting the Pacuare and it was fantastic meeting him as well, as he is very funny, friendly and was a great guide! I cannot say enough good things about this company and would not hesitate to use them again or refer them to family and friends in the future.

“We wanted to share our appreciation to Pura Vida Eh Inc. for helping organize such an amazing once-in-a-lifetime trip for my wife and I! Every hotel accommodation, transportation, and activity was absolutely amazing! We felt they were all great value for our money and exceeded our expectations for experience! We ran into many travelers who had some bad experiences due to unplanned travel and we felt lucky to have the expertise of PVI Eh Inc. to make our trip smooth. PVI Eh, was always available to answer any questions and book, re-book, cancel, advise, or help in whatever way available. We especially want to thank them for going above and beyond during our difficult and unexpected change in plans to ensure the trip was revised to be as great as possible. We only wish our air travel agency was half as good as Pure Vida Eh Inc. was. We will definitely be recommending PVI! Eh? to all our friends and family who decide to come to CR. Do not hesitate to work with this fabulous organization to build and experience an unforgettable vacation.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Nikki and the service that she provided us. Not only can she get you the best discounts and prices in the area, but she was a wealth of information. Although I had read about her on Trip Advisor before our trip, I did not want to make any reservations in advance. You just never know what you will want to do and when you want to do it or if the weather would cooperate. As a result, we waited until we arrived in Arenal to contact her. We ended up calling her every evening to book our tours for the following day. Every single time we spoke to her, she was friendly and helpful and efficient at providing us with information and options, as well as quickly booking with the tour companies and then calling us back to confirm that everything was set up. You never pay a penny to Pura Vida! Eh?. You pay the tour guides directly. We never had a problem with any of the reservations that she made for us, and she always checked with us that we had a fabulous time on our trips.”

We all had gread time, and recommended our friend to use their services.”

Nikki and Ricky – Cheers and thank you. Shasta and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary in Costa Rica last year and y’all helped make it one of the most stress free vacations of our lives. Your trip planning services and advice were on the mark every time and Ricky’s tour was by far our most thrilling white water rafting adventure to date. It was great to meet you both and we look forward to another trip. Thank you also for the bottle of chilled Champaign. It was very unexpected and greatly appreciated just goes to show how dedicated you are to having and making happy clients. Pura Vida!

“I used this company to book and save on hotel stay, private transportation to and from SJO and four tours (horseback riding, canyoneering, ziplining and Cano Negro). Specifically Nikki, at Pura Vida! eh? has been a dream to work with. She is very customer service oriented, highly organized, fast and efficient. She is also very resourceful and goes above and beyond to help you plan a great trip. The whole voucher system that they have worked out perfect. Every booking acknowledged the vouchers and the tours and transportation all showed up right on schedule. Everything was flawless. I have to admit I was skeptical when I first heard about this company because it sounded too good to be true, but rest assured they are legit. It is a no brainer that Pura Vida! eh? needs to be a part of everyone’s trip planning to Costa Rica!”

“Amazing – Definitely makes you want to embody “Pura Vida!” We booked most of our transportation and activities through Pura Vida eh?. I must say they picked some of the best companies for our activities. We did 1-2 activity per day. Here’s the activities that we did that was booked through Pura Vida eh.

Transportation from airport to hotel: the driver will hold a sign with your name so you can’t miss them. Arenal Volcano Night Hike/Tabacon Hot Springs/Dinner: they make you a cocktails (virgin ones for the kiddies) after your hike. We were not able to finish the bottle. Hot springs were amazing, the scenery and water was perfect, dinner was a buffet at the resort. Transporation to and hotel is included. Water rafting on Pacuare River: known as one of the top 10 rivers to raft on in the world. definitely an experience you dont want to pass up. Breakfast and lunch is included. You eat breakfast before you raft. About 3/4 of the way through we stop at a picnic area where the guides makes us a healthy lunch. Transportation to and from hotel is included. Our guide Ricky was hilarious, he definitely made things entertaining. He’s also one of the owners of Pura Vida eh?. Horsebackriding to Waterfalls: Ive never been on a horse and I did just fine. The horses they had were very friendly and responsible. They walked most of the way but at times they liked to gallop a little. Its what horses do, LOL. When we reached a rest stop, we had to hike down to were the waterfalll was. My friend and I didnt want to swim in the waterfall because we couldn’t swim, so we didn’t hike all the way down. After a walk across a beautiful hanging bridge and a nice view of the waterfall, we went back to our horses. Transportation is included, but there were no meals with this.

They have many other activities but these were the ones we wanted to do. Definitely use them if you plan on going to Costa Rica, they literally have all services you can image!”

“Outstanding service. We didnt know about Pura Vida!, eh? until we were already in Costa Rica. We had 3 extra days after completing a guided tour and contacted them for transportation, lodging and snorkeling suggestions. Nikki came up with a plan that was perfect for us! Our last 3 days were delightful and affordable thanks to Nikki’s knowledge. I was extremely impressed at her rapid responses to ALL of our questions. AMAZING. I would highly recommend Pura Vida! eh?
Thank you, Nikki and Ricky!!! “

“When can we go back? My husband and I travelled to Costa Rica for a 9 day trip with his parents. The entire trip was booked through Pura Vida! eh? From accomodations to transportation to tours, Pura Vida! eh? took the guess work out of planning our trip. Nikki was an incredible resource whose advise made for a memorable trip to Costa Rica that we won’t soon forget. For those of you looking for something more than just your typical all-inclusive week away, Pura Vida! eh? can customize an itinerary that suits your travel needs.

Our trip itinerary was as follows: Arrive in San Jose, private transfer service to Arenal (La Fortuna)
Accomodations: Hotel Royal Corin. Our transfer service through Desafio was perfect. We were greeting promptly at the airport and our driver was fantastic, pointing out all of the major landmarks en route to Arenal. Royal Corin was wonderful. The hotel pools are all hot springs so there is no need to go off site. Although it was too foggy to see the volcano, the hotel would otherwise have had an unobstructed view. The accomodations were top notch and service was great. While in Arenal we did the white water rafting tour through Desafio. We had a great time. Our river guide was fantastic! We travelled by van-boat-van service from Royal Corin to Monteverde. This transportation service was sort of like a tour in and of itself. We got to see panoramic views of the country from the boat and during the hilly drive to Monteverde. Our accomodations in Monteverde were at El Establo. This was a sprawling resort with every ammenity that we needed. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. We did the Sky Walk (rainforest tour) and Sky Trek (canopy tour) through Sky Adventures. I highly recommend this tour. Our guide for the Sky Walk was incredibly knowledgeable. He pointed out things that we would never had appreciated if we toured on our own. A guided tour is essential. The canopy tour was amazing! The staff made us feel safe at all times. And the views were unbelievable! This is a must if you are looking for an activity in Monteverde. Our last stop was in Manuel Antonio. We stayed at La Mansion Inn. Again, the views from the hotel were panoramic. The hotel staff were courteous and helpful. While not located on the beach, the hotel provided a shuttle service to and from. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, with very spacious rooms. A wonderful place to stay!

Every aspect of our trip was booked by Pura Vida! eh? and we have nothing but rave reviews. In addition from having seamless travel booked without a worry, we benefitted from the many discounts offered by Pura Vida! eh? We would recommend them to any traveller who is looking to see all that Costa Rica has to offer. Already dreaming of our trip back!!”

Her knowledge of the Country, hotels, sight seeing tours and transportation allowed travel without the anxiety! She planned everything without hesitation and always with a personal touch. You can trust you’ll get the best prices on your tours. She’ll never let you down!”

Nikki, thank you for making our vacation in Costa Rica one of the best we have ever had. Your help was crucial to everything turning out as fantastic as it did. My biggest concern was the reliability of the transports, it was never an issue as all of the drivers were on time and on some occasions, even early! It was a pleasure working with you and we are so thankful to have found Pura Vida! eh? Mil gracias!

“Pura Vida! eh? offered an excellent level of customer service as well as some significant cost savings. If you need to book ANY trips/hotels/excursions in Costa Rica, be sure to involve Nikki with Pura Vida Eh as she will be your most valued resource while planning your trip. Pura Vida Eh offers many deals not mentioned on their site, contact Nikki for details, or simply send a copy of your proposed itinerary for suggestions. Be sure to engage Pura Vida Eh early in your travel plans so you take full advantage of all the savings possible Cheaper bookings for no cost to you, this is a no-brainer. Email or chat with Nikki worked great and she was extremely responsive.”

“Excellent service and discounts. I had contacted Nikki almost a year before our vacation with a basic itinerary of places and tours I wanted to enjoy while visiting Costa Rica for the 3rd time. As others have said, she responded quickly and amicably with rates and discounts for hotels, lodges and B&B’s I had listed to stay at and with tours my husband and I wanted to take. As my plan of using interbus and private drivers unfolded she acquired a private driver for me for less than I could on my own. As some DE experts may say to book directly with tour companies or hotles as they may or may not give you the same discount, she did the leg work for us and provided excellent service and saved us time and money. (during high season). Puravidaeh does not pocket the savings either ( some call it commission) it goes directly to a charity IN Costa Rica of my choosing from a list she provides. We saved a lot of money between the tours and the lodges we selected, there is no reason not to use her services since they do not collect any monies and instead we receive vouchers and we make direct payments to the tour companies and lodges/hotels we book. Nikki went beyond just providing discounts, she helped me by contacting a hotel in CR which did not respond to my emails and had closed to the public, another time I wanted to book a hotel via points from Distancia credit card and she called directly for me to solve the problem. She also didn’t mind the last minute changes I made to a hotel she had acquired for me in Manuel Antonio. We had the honor of meeting Nikki in La Fortuna during our 3 day stay there and she is a wonderful young lady who even treated us to lunch and before had even sent a thank you gift of a beach cover up to our hotel. There is no reason not to involve PuraVidaeh in your plans for Costa Rica if you value your time and money. Pura Vida Nikki!”

“Great discounts and friendly to deal with! Nikki always replied quickly to my email inquiries, always with a personal touch. She set up my tours and gave me tips about the tours, and offered them at a great discount, to boot! I didn’t pay full price for a single one of my tours! Can’t wait to come back to your beautiful country and deal with you again!”
TK, February 2011

“Excellent customer service! The first couple things I noticed about this company were that the itinerary total was much lower than others I was receiving and their communication has a personal touch instead of a response produced for mass dissemination. Throughout the month and a half or so of emailing Nikki back and forth at all hours to plan our trip, I also came to appreciate her quick response time and details in her messages. She quickly responds to your every question as a local, not a salesperson. Honestly, she was the only person I trusted after searching through many online travel companies. One of our trips was canceled due to bad weather in Arenal, but Nikki quickly got on the phone and helped us plan something else. When we didn’t receive our refund in a timely manner, Nikki got on their butts and kept us in the loop even after we had been home for a month. Definitely do the white water rafting with Exploradores Outdoors, if you can. Her husband, who is also her partner in the company, is a guide and really hilarious! He really knows what he is doing and can make you laugh too. Cheers, Nikki and Ricky!!”

“Great services and prices. Trust in them! We booked our whole trip through Pura Vida eh! and had an amazing time at Costa Rica at a very good price. Nikki was on top of every detail and tour we did. She replied to our emails so fast and with so many details that it was great booking our trip with them. Even during our trip we cancelled a tour and changed one and she took care of everything. If you are going to Costa Rica you can trust in Pura vida eh, they will help you out planning the trip you want no matter your budget, they give you all the options. It was great to work with them.”

“Made my trip so easy and unforgettable. Since I only had a short time in Costa Rica, I planned out things I wanted to see and do before heading there. I started emailing Nikki moths before and she was so quick to respond. I was indecisive with some things and Nikki gave me more details that I could ask for. I also changed my plans a few times and Nikki was quick to respond without any problems. Everything was so organized. I had my whole itinerary before heading to Costa RIca and was picked up at the times stated. I never had to reconfirm anything. I booked transportation and tours through them. The discount they get you is just one of the many perks- I mean if you know you want to go on a specific tour and booking through pure vida eh saves you money, why not? Its cheaper to book through them than to book through the companies themselves or through a hotel. The friendliness and continued updates/information is what makes this a great company. Also, as another bonus, a portion of the money you spend on booking tours through them goes to charity! I would recommend anyone even considering going to Costa RIca to book through Pura Vida Eh. And if you are unsure of whether you are going or not, they are so helpful in just answering general questions, its amazing.”

“Great and reliable service. Recommend them. We had a pretty good idea of which itinerary we wanted, but it was still a big help to check things with this local expert. Nikki at Pura Vida! eh? was very service minded, and I can be a not so easy a customer (some would even call me demanding). Nikki booked Tortuguero, Arenal and transport. She also helped us with the tours in La Fortuna, which we vere very satisfied with. We really had a great time, and Pura Vida! eh? helped us make the right choices. Thanks for your help, Nikki!”

“Excellent service from the experts.Just returned from our 13 day trip. We were delighted with the expert advise and knowledge received by Nikki thru all the planning of our itinerary. Even after changing plans several times, everything was handled expertly and perfectly by Pura vidaeh. We received the itinerary clearly set out with all the vouchers prepared. When we needed to change plans during our stay, just an email away, Nikki made the necessary re-adjustments where necessary. We couldn’t have done it so successfully without their help and of course getting the discounts too. Certainly took the headache out of the planning. Great service from experts.”

“We booked only one tour with Pura Vida! eh? They are a third party company who books tours and attractions with other companies at discounted rates. They do not run the tours and you do not pay them directly. Although we didn’t deal with them extensively they seemed nice and willing to help if we needed anything. Since the booking went smoothly I would highly recommend using them since it might be cheaper than booking directly with the attraction/tour company. Why pay more when it’s not necessary?”

We were 9 people traveling together with a ton of complicated logistics and all kinds of different transportations and activities and everything went off without a hitch. All of their suggestions were top rate, every car, every plane flight and every activity was just perfect. I would use them again and again!!!”

“Friendly and excellent service in Costa Rica. My girlfriend and I visited Costa Rica in May of 2010. We used Nikki at Pura Vida, Eh? to book all of our activities from canyoneering and zip-lining in La Fortuna and snorkeling and hiking in Manuel Antonio. Nikki also helped us find a hotel in both locations, book travel and rent a car while in Costa Rica. Not only was the service friendly and fast, we were offered great prices on all of our activities. When first reaching out to Pura Vida, Eh? I didn’t know what to expect…Nikki made it easy to plan our trip in less than one week. She provided a plethora of information about each activity and what we could expect from start to finish. Overall, I’m very impressed with the service and discounts offered from Pura Vida, Eh?. I did not realize how much Nikki helped and made our trip easy until I began planning my next trip to Ecuador. I even reached out to Nikki at Pura Vida, Eh? to see if she had any contacts down there…which she spent 3 days trying to help! That’s impressive and first rate service in my opinion. Thanks!!!”

“Absolutely Awesome! My wife and I travelled to Costa Rica in December 2010 for our 1 year anniversary. I wanted to make this trip a special one, and chose Pura Vida Eh? Inc. as my agent for booking tours and excursions. Nikki was absolutely fabulous at responding to my emails and live chat, and in no time flat, all of my excursions were booked through her, with the provision of vouchers. Not only was it easy to work with Pura Vida Eh? Inc, but i also saved alot of money by the significant discounts on excursions. When adding up a handful of excursions, I managed to save a pretty penny, which we used on massage treatments at our hotel. =) Also to top it all off, on our anniversary day, Nikki from Pura Vida Eh? Inc. sent us a card to wish us a happy one year anniversary. What a pleasure it was that she remembered our special day and made it that much more memorable. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone reserving excursions or trips to go through Pura Vida Eh? Inc. You will NOT be sorry. Trust me – a fantastic service experience!!!!!”

“Pura Vida! eh? what else to say? GREAT! We just had a wonderful holiday in Costa Rica. Stayed 3 weeks and organised everything with Nikki. Hotels, transfers, day tours ecc. Nikki was really patient and answerd all my questions in such fast, we never had to wait long for her mails wich was fantastic!!! She is outstanding in customer service! She changed our tour so many times do get the most out of our time, even when tours got cancelled she was ready to organise another discounted tour. One of the best things we’ve ever done was the rafting with Nikki’s husband Ricky  It was such a memorable experience, thank you again!!! I’ll recommend the company 100% to all the people who plan to go to Costa Rica! Keep up the great work!”

“Pura Vida Eh? were knowledgeable, friendly and offered us discounts on our Adventure Tour in Rincon de la Vieja. Best part about them is how quickly they respond to your emails and that they are fluent in English. They seem to have your best interest at heart and I would recommend them to anyone. Cheers!”

“I had the great pleasure of working with Nikki to plan our excursions while in Costa
Rica. This young lady is so professional and engaging. She went above and beyond to ensure we had just the right thing planned. We sent many many e-mails back and forth. We pre booked everything before we left home. Nikki provided us with discount vouchers and there were no problems at all. If you plan to do any tours in the Arenal area give my new friend Nikki a call you will NOT be disappointed! She lives in the area and is an expert in my books. Pura Vida Nikki expect a call if we are ever in the area again. I would not dream of contacting anyone else!!!”

“Nikki at Pura Vida was very helpful in assisting us in making decisions on activities for our family vacation. Using Tripadvisor for our research we heard of Pura Vida and decided to book through them. Nikki got us a good discount for a day pass at Guachepelin Adventure and it was probably our best day. From horseback riding to thrilling tubing rapids to the breathtaking canopy tour, it was a fun packed day! When we had to cancel an overnight to Monteverde, Nikki was very understanding and handled the cancellation for us. It is very hard to decide on tours many miles away but Nikki made it effortless answering many questions and giving us useful recommendations. Definitely use Pura Vida! Eh?”

“I just wanted to say thank you very much!!! Our trip was absolutely amazing! We could not have done it without you. Everything went perfectly, and each and everyone of the tours were fantastic. Ricky is the best rafting guide you could hope for  I will recommend your service whenever I hear Costa Rica! Again, you are both great and thank you so much! Pura vida!”

“Our family just had the wonderful experience of organizing, planning and preparing our Costa Rican vacation with Nikki at Pura Vida Eh! She is outstanding in customer service excellence and the most patience person. She is not satisfied until you are satisfied. This is YOUR vacation. Nikki went over and beyond the call of duty to make our vacation in Costa Rica the most memorable. I will be using this company everytime we go back to Costa Rica. We had lots of fun and the kids loved it too! Job well done, Nikki. Pura Vida Eh exceeded our expectations. Until soon, Nikki!!!!! Keep up the great work!”

She came up with a customized itinerary that matched exactly what I had in mind. As if the service wasn’t great enough, they will even save you money on all yours tours and hotels !!!! There is no need to waste your time with other agencies!!! Put your trust in Pura Vida and you won’t be disappointed!!! Thanks again Nikki for a trip of a lifetime!”

“My wife and I just returned from our Honeymoon. Costa Rica was awesome. Nikki was very helpful in booking all of the tours that we wanted to go on. Every hotel that we reserved through them turned out to be great. The tour guides on our tours were very informative. We learned tons about animals and about the country as well.”

“I just got back from my first trip to Costa Rica. Nikki helped set up all of my tours while in Manuel Antonio. Everything went off flawlessly. Pura Vida’s help made my trip effortless and made my first travel solo experience an amazing one. On my last free day in San Jose, she also helped get me on a tour to La Paz/Poas that was phenomenal way to end my business/leisure trip.”

“Me and my teenage daughter were travelling in Costa Rica on our own using local tour agencies. After a few days we met Ricky and then we started organizing our travel by the help of Pura Vida! eh? – and we stopped looking for other ones. Nikki was great – she helped with booking hotels, travels and outdoor activities arrangement (even being informed on”last minute”), and she was able to find good places at good price. And it was no need to pay in advance. I can recommend the company to everyone.”

“I used Pura Vida! eh? to book 4 separate tours and it could not have been easier! Nikki walked me through the entire process and was there to answer all of my questions about transportation and excursions. Because I booked everything through them, once I arrived in Costa Rica all I had to do was relax and enjoy my vacation. Pura Vida!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Nikki Solana at Pura Vida! eh? I highly recommend using her to reserve all your excursions in Costa Rica. We just returned from the Tamarindo area and used Nikki to reserve both the Marlin Del Ray snorkeling cruise and the Buena Vista mega tour. Nikki secured us dscounts on both tours along with very accurate directions, including GPS coordinates. I also highly recommend both of those tours. Captain Taca and his crew of the Marlin Del Ray were extremely hospitable. We even saw whales. Buena Vista was also a great time. If you have your own transportation, I highly recommend arriving no later than 8:30, as Nikki suggested. The tour busses begin arriving around 9:30, so you will become part of a group of 60 if you arrive at that time. We arrived at 8:15 and had our own personal guided tour. It was awesome. We even saw Howler Monkeys during our canopy tour. Send Nikki an e-mail. She’ll make your trip to Costa Rica an enjoyable experience. We will definitely use her again the next time we go.”

“They were so helpful and nice! They had great recommendations and were very helpful. They recommend Hacienda Guacapelin and got us a great price. Even though we already had our hotel booked before I found them, they gave me recommendations on activities and other things, even if I didn’t get them through them.”

“Hi Nikki! Thanks SO much for all of your help. We had an amazing time! S loved the Tico way of life and now she sees why I never want to leave.  I think our favourite things were white water rafting and ziplining, although we loved everything (I liked the safari float a lot too, especially with the Don Pedro visit). Everything went great, all the tours were on time and they were all great (guides, service, everything) It was really cool to have Ricky as our guide for the raft too, and to say hello to you on the phone! He was an awesome guide by the way, very professional and we always felt safe, plus super fun! I totally think our raft had the most fun. We also really liked Hotel El Volcan, thank you for the recommendation. It was the perfect location since I really wanted to be near the center of town. Anyways thank you again, SO much! I appreciate your help so much and we loved everything that we did (especially the rafting, I kind of wish we had done a 2 day rafting trip!).”

“Nikki really helped us out getting the ideal tour for us in La Fortuna and at a discount! She booked us at the last minute on the Desafio Canyoneering Tour and everything went perfectly! We had a group of 3 boys in their 20s and myself (age 50+). She recommended Desafio since we were looking for the most adventure. The trip up the mountain from La Fortuna to the base camp was fun in and of itself – a short ride through beautiful countryside. The tour guides met us at the base lodge and took us through the safety demonstration. The descent through the canyon was thrilling and fun, but not too scary. We did several repels down very deep canyons and climbed down other parts. The whole trip was amazing from start to finish including the buffet meal at the lodge at the end. The guides were great and we were totally satisfied with the booking and the trip itself. I would highly recommend reaching out to PuraVida when you decide the visit Costa Rica – they can help recommend the best tours for your group and get you the best price.”

I highly recommend her. I am glad we had a chance thank her and her husband, Ricky in person when we were in Arenal. They also donate a portion of their income from these arrangements to charitable organizations which is very generous of them.”

“What a great idea! This really sets your company apart from the others and I think it is great to incorporate good deeds into personal travel. You will be sure to attract many more clients who realize what a nice thing this is to do. T and I are so happy that our trip led to the donation. Thanks again for everything.

“I used Puravidaeh for our recent vacation to Costa Rica in March 2010. I had them book the one day adventure pass with Adventure Tours at Hacienda Guachipelin as well as a sunset catamaran tour with Blue Dolphin in Tamarindo. Nikki at Puravidaeh was great in answering my many questions regarding the details of the various tours. Nikki was very responsive and thorough in emailing the information requested to ensure that I got exactly the tours I was looking for. She also handled all the arrangements of booking the tour once I decided what I wanted with Puravidaeh. I have already recommended them to friends planning vacations in Costa Rica.”

They made everything so much easier; getting the information we needed about tours (zip lining in Arenal was an amazing rush) and getting a discount to boot! Nikki was great about responding right away with all the information necessary to make our decisions, and then booking things for us. And Ricky is a crazy white water rafting guide – we had too much fun! Thanks to you both, and I highly recommend anyone heading to Costa Rica to check out Pura Vida eh before you go.”
