Our Trips
GRILS TRIP
As their senior year approached, a remarkable group of young women was eager for adventure in Central America. They enjoyed thrilling activities, such as zip lining on the longest twin lines in the region and encountering 15-foot crocodiles, while soaking in the beauty of vibrant rainforests, white sand beaches, and warm waters. The area’s abundant wildlife and stunning landscapes promised daily excitement, with activities including rafting, beach massages, market explorations, and the search for the elusive resplendent quetzal. One memorable day was highlighted by a playful visit from White-Faced Capuchin monkeys, who humorously tried to steal their belongings. Thanks to a well-planned itinerary by Mac-Adventures, they experienced more than just typical tourist attractions. As the week concluded in serene thermal hot springs, they reflected on their unforgettable journey, filled with lasting memories and a newfound perspective that would enhance their college experiences and beyond.
BOYS TRIP
In 2023, we embarked on an exhilarating 8-day adventure to Costa Rica with a dynamic group of thirteen 16-year-old high school boys, and it was nothing short of spectacular!
From soaring above the rainforest canopy like birds to living out cowboy dreams on horseback with the majestic Arenal Volcano as our backdrop, to rappelling down cascading waterfalls and braving thrilling white-water rapids—every moment was an adrenaline-packed delight!
What truly made this trip extraordinary was the enthusiasm and open-minded spirit each boy brought to the experience. Whether sampling exotic fruits, practicing their high school language skills, or diving into spontaneous soccer matches with locals, this group embraced every challenge with zest. They quickly discovered that stepping out of their comfort zones while traveling often leads to rewards that are not only exhilarating but truly unforgettable.
WEEK OF WELLNESS
When Mac-Adventures was invited to create a week of wellness in Costa Rica by the owner of Backyard Yoga in Madison, they eagerly embraced the opportunity, sensing that the journey would be exceptional. The trip combined mindfulness, relaxation, yoga, art, fun, and adventure, bringing together a vibrant group of educators, nurses, entrepreneurs, and retired executives for a week of self-care.
With a thoughtfully designed itinerary, participants enjoyed yoga and mindfulness sessions in peaceful settings, while engaging in joyful art activities led by a talented instructor, requiring no prior experience. They welcomed the chance to escape their busy lives and reconnect with nature, highlighted by pampering spa treatments in the rainforest and stargazing adventures with an expert guide. The sounds of howler monkeys and poison dart frogs added to the enchanting atmosphere. As the trip ended, participants expressed heartfelt gratitude for the cherished memories created during their unique Pura Vida adventure.
