I had an incredible experience during my multi-day rainforest trek in Costa Rica. It was truly one of the most beautiful adventures of my life. However, it's important for everyone to understand that the rainforest is a challenging environment. Anyone considering this tour should come prepared with a strong mindset and be ready for the demands of the journey. Overall, highly recommend for nature enthusiasts seeking a memorable and rewarding experience!

I had a bespoke jungle tour with Jade and Gaz (Wild Globe Expeditions) - hiking into the tropical lowland rainforest near Puerto Viejo (Costa Rica), and camping overnight (in a hammock). What an absolutely amazing experience! Truly special to experience the jungle so closely. A challenge for sure, but one I'd love to repeat. The trekking obstacle course, washing in the jungle jacuzzi, learning how to use a machete, drinking local hot chocolate whilst moon gazing, the incredible (and loud!) sounds of the jungle at night! Waking up in a hammock surrounded by lush green forest - absolutely stunning! Thank you so much Jade and Gaz, for sharing your jungle knowledge, and your passion for the forest and wildlife with me. An unforgettable adventure ❤️

I spent several weeks with Jade and Gaz in Costa Rica for hiking and survival training. They were always organized and well prepared for every imaginable situation. I always felt safe no matter how deep we were in the jungle. The trip itself was one of the best hikes of my life. There were so many special moments and places like swimming through a huge gorge or living together with the Bribri tribe, crossing deep and fast jungle rivers and eating wild tropical fruits served on a banana leaf. They brought us to very wild and remote places and shared their knowledge about about this sensitive environment and their experiences in every possible moment. I‘ve learned so many things from them and I‘m really grateful for this experience! I can highly recommend a trip with Jade and Gaz! If you want to experience the wilderness these guys lead you in a safe an sustainable manner to the really wild and beautiful places!

I have completed multiple Expeditions and Treks in Costa Rican jungles led by both Jade and Gaz. They were both utterly professional throughout. I found them to be knowledgeable and fully conversant with the extreme environments we visited. They were supportive and empathetic in challenging situations, thereby enhancing the adventure experience whilst ensuring it was safe. They are both competent leaders and good communicators. During my time with them we spent a good deal of time within the Bri Bri community in Yorkin. It provided a real life insight into the daily lives of the indigenous communities of Costa Rica and as such, I can only describe this as an amazing and life enhancing experience. Jade and Gaz are extremely good at what they do and i have no hesitation in recommending them. Absolutely worthy of 5 stars.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have been lead by Jade and Gaz through the Costa Rican jungle. I was able to challenged myself, learn and achieve things that I hadn’t even conceived of. Spending time with the bri bri tribe is an experience that will stay with me forever and has impacted my life immensely. My life has changed for the better so much since trekking and camping in Costa Rica - I encourage anyone to take on the adventure that the jungle has to offer.

First of all, the trip was a complete success and an incredibly awesome experience, but you should be aware that you have to be prepared to leave your comfort zone because it was physically and mentally very hard but you will also be rewarded by the beautiful impressions of nature where we also did some nice exercises with the ranges to get a little closer to nature. Plus the way of life of the locals it was very heartwarming and nice to have taken something like that with us
