Tailor-made eco adventure trip in Costa Rica

Arrive at Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO), where a private vehicle and local representative will meet you at the arrivals exit, assist with your luggage, and transfer you to your hotel in San José.

Settle in with a tailored introduction to your Costa Rica travel plans and time to refine the activities ahead on your trip.

Begin with a shared transfer from your hotel in San José to the Pacuare River tour. After rafting and lunch, you continue to your hotel in Arenal.

Raft the world-famous Pacuare River through a lush gorge where waterfalls, toucans, sloths, parrots, coatis, morpho butterflies, and colorful frogs are common sights. Enjoy a mix of exciting rapids and calm jungle stretches for a memorable eco adventure.

Rappel down towering waterfalls, jump into natural pools, downclimb canyon walls, and hike rainforest trails in the Lost Canyon. Start with the ten-foot “Baby” to learn the ropes, feel a guided free fall on the “Big Boy,” then take on the signature two-hundred-foot Lost Canyon rappel.

In the afternoon, follow your bilingual naturalist guide along rainforest trails at Arenal Volcano 1968 Park and reach a scenic observation point for views of the volcano and lava fields. Finish the day at Paradise Hot Springs, relaxing in thermal pools and jacuzzis, with optional massage services available.

This morning, you leave Arenal for the cloud forests of Monteverde. A shared transfer picks you up at your hotel, takes you to the shore of Lake Arenal, and you board a covered boat for a scenic forty-five-minute crossing. On the far side, continue with a steep one and a half hour drive up into the highlands, arriving at your Monteverde hotel surrounded by misty forest.

Once settled in, ride through Monteverde’s hills on a guided horseback tour, savoring panoramic views of the Gulf of Nicoya, nearby volcanoes, and unforgettable sunsets. Then experience the traditional sugar cane process, one of Costa Rica’s most emblematic traditions, and learn firsthand how it continues to shape local culture and livelihoods.

Begin with a short guided walk in a private seventy-acre cloud forest reserve, moving from towering primary forest into lush secondary growth while you listen for the calls of tropical birds.

Then head to the platforms and soar through the treetops on an exhilarating canopy zip line experience designed for small groups and personalized attention.

Enjoy a comfortable shared transfer from your hotel in Monteverde to your hotel in Sámara. Travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle with friendly local drivers, sharing the ride with fellow travelers for a safe, efficient, and good-value journey.

Sámara is one of the best places to visit in Costa Rica for relaxed beach time, gentle waves, and golden sunsets. Arrive refreshed and ready for beaches, surf lessons, snorkeling, and beachside dining tailored to your interests.

Paddle from Sámara Beach across the bay to the untouched white sand of Isla Chora, then snorkel among tropical fish in clear, warm water. Swim, explore tide pools, or simply relax on the quiet shore.

In a small group, your guide shares coastal ecology and local stories, making this Isla Chora adventure a memorable, low-impact highlight of any Costa Rica itinerary.

Relax on a comfortable shared transfer from your hotel in Sámara to your hotel in San José. Travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle with fellow travelers, enjoying an affordable and efficient connection between the coast and the capital.

A private transfer will collect you from your hotel in San José and take you straight to Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO).

Savor a final cup of Costa Rican coffee, share a few last smiles with your hosts, and carry home lasting memories from your Costa Rica trip.
