Great travel guide, you could really publish a book! Every episode of this series is amazing and I can feel you both had a lot of fun on Costa Rica! Costa Rica is really underrated, the beaches there are so beautiful! Fortunately, we have your detailed introduction, which makes me want to travel there too! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍😍👏

[@NaickKim]

That's a great idea, maybe one day :) :)

[@giannishen]

@@NaickKim Thanks a lot for telling me, you are very nice！👍🥰🙏

[@magoel78]

I love your energy! The quality of your videos is amazing, great shots! All your personal opinions were very accurate! I’m so glad you guys enjoyed your time in my country! ❤

[@NaickKim]

Thank you so much!!

[@sumosprojects]

Looks absolute heaven on earth, who would think a country hardly heard about would be this serene. You’ve definitely advertised it as a place to visit & we all thank you for that.

[@NaickKim]

Thanks a lot

[@turkeyphant]

What do you mean hardly heard about?! It's almost as overtouristed as Venice. Easily the most touristy country in all of Central and South America and sadly quite ruined because of it.

[@sumosprojects]

@@turkeyphant Not heard of in my part of the world & im sorry to hear that it’s overpopulated with tourists.

[@bobbigeehan7221]

A country ever heard about? Lmao. Do you live under a rock???

[@sumosprojects]

@@bobbigeehan7221 Depends which side of the world you live on pal

[@angelicahernandez-re2ys]

Thanks for the information about my country Costa Rica 🇨🇷 , I know it is expensive but you can find many options to enjoy the places. There are hostels, Airbnb, public transportation and Uber .

[@theresapalmer-s8p]

Missed seeing you guys! Felt like weeks without a video...hahaha....great to watch you both enjoying Costa Rica. Will use this video to plan our trip next spring. Have really enjoyed ALL of your videos to date-----thank you!!

[@NaickKim]

Aww thank you

[@k_and_m8745]

@@NaickKim I hope it all goes well with the shipping to Colombia, (I am guessing) Our property in Ecuador is almost ready for you to park at if you are coming after May 22nd as I will be on vacation in Canada from April 16th until that date. There are many free things to do in our area from nature walks, night walks which include the insects that glow in the dark, waterfalls, rivers, the unknown Santuario Católico de la Pasión de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo - El Calvario which has a path of mini churches and more. I will shoot you an email.

[@b.smucker4157]

well done! succinct, informative and fun!

[@anna_m59]

i just got back from CR Caribbean side.. Honestly, it is super expensive everything without delivery a quality. I enjoyed the national parks beaches and of course Tortugerro., nice video!

[@NaickKim]

Thanks for sharing your pov. For the things we did, we found the Caribbean side much cheaper. Did you also go to the Pacific side?

[@anna_m59]

@@NaickKim I live on the pacific coast so I prefer the caribbean side. Worked well in Mexico (tulum area) but I guess not for Costa Rica..

[@EndlessMileTravel]

Definitely worth to travel to Costa Rica. Beautiful place to go to!

[@Uriel.j.moya_7]

Appreciate the detailed experiences highlighted in this video. Costa Rica looks amazing thanks to your guide 🐒🏞️. Thank you!

[@NaickKim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Bertinanola]

Bedankt om deze prachtige video met ons te delen Kim en Naick. Hopelijk ben je ondertussen genezen. Geniet er nog van, groetjes, Gilberte

[@NaickKim]

Graag gedaan Gilberte! Bedankt voor het kijken

[@amarquez211]

Very nice video!

[@sammiecollier8783]

If we get a chance to go to Costa Rica I’ll definitely use this video on what to see in Costa Rica 😊

[@NaickKim]

Thanks guys. We can highly recommend ti!

[@MohamedAhmed24.]

I'm Definitely coming to Costa Rica 😍😍😍 2025 HERE WE GO!!!. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEO💙💘❤

[@claudialu]

Your voice is beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed your video.

[@joaquinmoreno5155]

Great video! Thank you 😊 How do you know which lakes/rivers are safe to venture in?

[@NaickKim]

It's best to ask the locals and follow their guidance. Some rivers have big populations of crocs. Usually you can find lots of locals at the rivers, swimming, etc. so then you know its safe.

[@mountainlover830]

Wow! You guys never cease to amaze me. This video has a great new vibe to it-aimed towards the person getting ready to travel in Costa Rica. From the superb videography to the narration (filled with great tips) it’s a wonderful resource. Hopefully it will also serve as a gateway to your fun channel.

[@NaickKim]

Wow, thank you for the kind words

[@lauraezell7723]

@@NaickKim Doing well, thanks for asking. You guys look great, too! Spring is just around the corner in these parts.

[@ktara1033]

If anyone is considering Cost Roca, I urge you to come and research things before moving or even visiting. It is extremely expensive to the point that’s irritating. Especially the costal areas. Restaurants are more expensive than California. Same with groceries. Housing too especially near the beach. The worst part is drug related crimes are also increasing.

[@NaickKim]

Thanks for chiming in

[@Okseren]

Stable Democracy: Costa Rica has a long history of political stability and peaceful democracy. Pura Vida Lifestyle: The “pure life” philosophy encourages a laid-back, stress-free approach to life. Cost of Living: Generally lower than in the U.S., especially outside of the main tourist areas. Healthcare: High-quality healthcare services are available at a lower cost than in many developed countries. Real Estate: There’s a variety of real estate options available, from beachfront properties to mountain retreats. Safety: Costa Rica is often cited as one of the safest countries in Central America . 🤫 SHUSH. Not all t-shirts are 75$ like in the giftshop . Also fun fact for under 50,000$ you could buy property and build on it. Don't speak nonsense

[@totorishop]

Holy smokes. That is 100 contrary to what I thought. Ty for sharing. Validated what you wrote is true. I would’ve been unpleasantly surprised.

[@heather8785]

You said it rained a lot when you went. When was that? We are planning for late May, but it makes me a little nervous since it’s the start of the wet season.

[@turkeyphant]

When are the Panama episodes dropping? I'm going to Valle de Antón tomorrow and would love to hear some tips.

[@NaickKim]

We have video about getting our van from Panama to Colombia coming out in a couple of days. We haven't been able to make a video about traveling in Panama itself, because of the time it took to ship our van.

[@turkeyphant]

​@@NaickKimgood to hear Vinny is alive but did you not travel Panama at all then?

[@rupeshmishra12]

Great video with loads of information for someone looking to visit costa rica. One question, would you think 6 days itinerary would be about right for visiting most of places you have in the video..?

[@NaickKim]

Yeah 6 days should be good to cover most of them. You probably won't be able to do the North AND the Caribbean in 6 days, since it's a bit of a drive.

[@Vladm557]

This was a very informative vid

[@NaickKim]

Thanks for watching

[@alinartamonova]

Guys, I just admire looking at both of you - so loving each other❤ it adds much to this stunning video. Thanks a million, great job and pleasure

[@NaickKim]

Aww thanks so much

[@shuangsvlog7955]

Awesome video! One of the better video online about Costa Rica. Where do you find kayak rental in Punta Uva?

[@Cassie-dx2jj]

Great info resource. Thanks!

[@ticofoto2063]

Beautiful video! Pura vida 🇨🇷

[@NaickKim]

Glad you liked it!

[@Thekenyattamusic]

beautiful video thank you!!!!

[@pointer-su2is]

awesome costa rica is nice. Paul saladino is boss there

[@newmwannachalleng9259]

Hi I am really like your video ' just curious how long dies it takes for you to complete all trip on your video. cheers

[@NaickKim]

In 10 days you could probably cover pretty much all of them, two weeks would give you a bit more leeway in terms of weather and relaxing. If you've got one week, I would stay on the pacific side and not go to the Caribbean side.

[@LaShownStLouis]

@@NaickKim Why you choose the pacific side over the caribbean side? I was assuming the beach on the caribbean side will be better.

[@AndreyNabutovsky]

"sloth motion movie" :D good one

[@NaickKim]

Thanks 😁

[@truman7478]

I am surprised that it's so expensive for the activities

[@NaickKim]

Yes exactly. So were we :)

[@turkeyphant]

I saw shitloads of wildlife in Manuel Antonio but Cahuita and Punta Uva were far better. Best thing in La Fortuna is also the Cerro Chato hike.

[@NaickKim]

Yes Punta Uva is great, loads of wildlife and without all the big group

[@lukajazz08]

Awesome video. Thanks. How far are these places from each other?

[@NaickKim]

Depends a bit. Most are within a few hours drive of each other.

[@dannywilcox8744]

Is driving essential to get around Costa Rica?

[@dreamstudiocuracao]

Awesome video! One question: did you got any problems with bringing a drone and fly it? I want to bring my mini3pro but don't know if I can fly it everywhere or getting troubles

[@NaickKim]

Glad you liked it. We didn't have any problems with flying our drone. In some areas it's not allowed to fly anymore (e.g. national parks) so we used some licensed shots here and there.

[@RexPonder-y6b]

We went here and to Mexico. This was so much nicer and less expensive than Mexico. Mexican is even more expensive. More in some places than the United States. We like it here much better.

[@haiminh4263]

The further away from the beach, the less expensive and the better the food in Mexico.

[@houstoniantexan2563]

What month is best for going there

[@cia-siab]

I will be visiting this place in June of this year with my family. Is this place safe to travel around the country without a tour guide?

[@NaickKim]

We didn't have any issues at all. But no place is 100% place, so it's always good to keep your wits about you.

[@andradaiulia]

You should update the channel description and cover. "Driving our campervan from Alaska to Argentina by the end of 2023!" is clearly not true anymore and "Publishing a video every week" has not been true either, more like every 2 weeks or every month.

[@NaickKim]

You are right, we had to change our planning. We updated it to 2024 :) Unfortunately we can't post as much as we would like anymore, since we have to do a lot of freelance work to pay for the thousands of dollars in repairs and shipping (shipping prices have increased massively since we planned the trip).

[@streetlevel4996]

Love your video on Costa Rica and amazing beauty 😊 and may God Richly Bless you and may Jesus Christ show you His GREAT love that He has for each of YOU ❤️ Just ask Him to show you personally His Love as He did to me years ago 😊

[@NaickKim]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@iluv2_travel]

you will love Ecuador. The national parks are free!

[@NaickKim]

That is great news haha. We hope we're able to enter Ecuador as there are a lot of border restricitons right now. Fingers crossed.

[@turkeyphant]

They are free is pretty much every country apart from Costa Rica.

[@holgerhallgrenelev]

S😂orre trasch visdoeeo 🎉🎉

Can H1 holders staying in USA go without visa?

[@NaickKim]

Thank you for your submission to the visa Hotline. You can expect a response within 3 to 560 days.

[@jairoacastrillon2559]

11:39 not crocodiles around ?

[@NaickKim]

No, not in this area, just some smaller caymans said the guide, but they are harmless.

[@1951timbo]

Cahuita 🤔

Costa Rica Has A Bad Reputation For Being Costa Mucho !!! LOL!!!

[@NaickKim]

Hahaha 🤣🤣

[@ktara1033]

Costa Rica is very very expensive. Spend your money somewhere else . Not worth it. Crime also on the rise mostly drug related. I live here.

[@johnx4181]

Bring your wallet.. Better make it a couple of wallets...covid refugees from Cali and Colorado ruined it....ie Nosara

[@andradaiulia]

Another video in the overrated Costa Rica. 2 videos only in El Salvador (which has so much to offer if you don't stay there only one - two weeks and if you bother to research about what it has to offer beyond Wikipedia), Nicaragua etc. but 5 videos in Costa Rica, typical for KZbinrs that only focus on overhyped countries. A pity to see this channel going the same predictable direction.

[@NaickKim]

In the last 2 years we have spent 10 weeks in El Salvador and made 8 videos in total on El Salvador, you can always watch those as well :) We make these videos for everyone to enjoy for free. You are welcome to watch them or not. There are 100's of videos on El Salvador if you use the search function. Let us know when you post your videos about El Salvador :) :) :)

[@turkeyphant]

Honduras is probably the best country apart from Guatemala south of Mexico but so many tourists skip it altogether let alone get to know locals and find out about the best parts of it.

[@stuartkidney3257]

honey, PLEASE learn How to pronounce J-A-C-O Good Lord! #awareness first! respect the country of Costa Rica! Also, you do NOT fly into San Jose! You fly into Alajuela; as of 7:15 into the video, you have mispronounced EVERY city's name, except San Jose. THEN, at about 10 minutes you pronounce PURA VIDA as Pudda veeda ; good video but awful narration from start to finish

[@NaickKim]

Thanks for the info 😊 Will take it into account 👍🏻

Don’t forget the Sloths! ❤ 🦥
