After living on islands for 25 years, I craved to live in a more bio-diverse area where more plants and animals thrive, but still had stunning beaches! We began looking for the perfect Jungle and Beach combination. After visiting 32 different countries, Uvita, Costa Rica was by far our top choice for the amazing beaches and stunning jungle and animals! It is our goal to Connect You With Nature through our Jungle Beach Vacation services. We have spent years doing all the tours to find the best experiences for our guests. We offer fully custom vacation planning at no charge! We can co-create the trip that best suits your travel personality.

Kristen & I love to meet new people and to travel. We have a wide variety of skills and education. Chris has a business degree and has spent his life as an entrepreneur. His life Mantra has been, “You can’t light the paths of others without also lighting your own path!” His ventures vary from developing an international yo-yo team to pioneering the sport of Kiteboarding. He traveled to schools to spread a positive motivational message for kids hidden in explosive yo-yo routines! Starting a kite store in Kansas, led him to the ocean to open the first Kiteboarding school in the world on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. His love for plants and health drew him into studying Holistic Health for 5 years. Master herbalist, nutritional consultant, certified in Energy Medicine, & started an eco-tour company in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Kristen is a horse lover & worked with horses all her life. We can book horseback riding to the beach or the nearby waterfall.

A magical place alongside the Morete River. We are nestled between the tall mountains and the sea and surrounded by a jungle that is a protected wildlife corridor with hiking trails. We are not close to nature, we are nature! It is infused into our Nature Lodge. Nature can be enjoyed throughout the property with lush tropical landscaping and nature trails! Lull yourself to sleep with the tranquil sound of the river. Awake to the symphony of exotic birds that frequent our property!
