What some of our past participants have to say about Kosher Expeditions Passover in Costa Rica
“I wanted to touch base with you and tell you what a wonderful time Fred, Rosalind and I had in Costa Rica this past Passover. The trip was quite different from what we all expected; which, really turned out wonderful because we were really able to kick back and enjoy the informal culture and leave our usual hectic schedules behind. I have to say we took advantage of every adventure offered and there were several "firsts" on the trip e.g. surfing, kayaking, zip lining, dolphin trip and horseback riding on the beach. I can't tell you how unique and beautiful each one of these experiences was. Additionally, I would like to thank you for your flexibility and willingness to meet all the needs requested of my family, I can attest to the fact that you catered to the complete spectrum of religious observance”.
