Albee Adventures

Albee Adventures specializes in custom-designed packages for travelers to Costa Rica and other Central American countries. Although its primary offerings are set departure multi-day adventures, single day tours are also available as add-ons or available as part of a custom itinerary.

Visit Web SiteThe company’s web site has information on each country where it operates. Information on key destinations within the country and attractions in each area are supplied in detail. The packages available have complete itineraries and listed prices to make comparisons fast and easy. The destinations also feature the hotels Albee offers, but many of these prices can become outdated quickly, so you’ll need to contact the company to confirm current rates.

Some of the country information entries are much more complete than others, but that’s because the site is currently undergoing a revamp. Odds are that when that’s done, more standardized and up-to-date information will be available.

Albee’s main offices are in New York and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The company controls its ground operations in Costa Rica and has partners in the other countries it operates in so that travelers always have local contacts to handle and assist in any situation.

Overall, Albee Adventures offers the best general information on Central America and the many destinations and attractions available that I have found. It’s a great resource for travelers planning a trip to our neighbors to the south.
