Costa Rica is a natural paradise unsurpassed in wildlife and adventure. We’ve been delighting in its diversity and surprises for some 20 years and have designed this exhilarating—and completely customizable—adventure where sustainability and conservation are a large part of the fun. Active excursions, such as surfing Pacific waves and night walks in the rain forest are interspersed with freeing sea turtles, gathering data about cetaceans, and planting mangrove seeds to combat deforestation. We tie it all together with easy scenic flights, overnights at exquisite eco-lodges, and ample relaxation time. This itinerary is a starting point—your trip will be designed just for you.
Trip Overview
The trip had the perfect combination of restful luxury, kid fun, and educational adventure! Every transitional link in the trip—be it lodging, waterfall rappelling, vehicular transportation, internal airfare—went without a hitch. We never waited or scratched our heads or had to call someone... Every reservation was perfect... We felt incredibly well cared for.
