  • “My boyfriend and I traveled with JoyBird to Costa Rica on a Yoga Retreat in 2025. We had a wonderful experience. The trip was well planned and organized, while still keeping a relaxing and chill feel. The hosts were very accommodating and flexible to the group’s needs. During this trip we all bonded and had a great time with all the events planned, i.e. bird watching, cacao plantation tour, coffee house, zip lining, and Yoga each day to name a few. The accommodations and food were beautiful and delicious. The coffee was fabulous! I loved how we were immersed in the culture as well. We were able to see so many different kinds of birds, monkeys, sloths and retiles, in addition, the plant life was beautiful! We had a fabulous time! We plan to travel with JoyBird again. Thank you Kate and Kevin.”
