Costa Rica Tours & Holidays

Jungle jaunts and coastal escapades in a tropical paradise - introducing your new amigo, Costa Rica.

An adventure hotspot for some, and a cultural haven for others, Central America's Costa Rica definitely lives up to its translation as the ‘rich coast’. And as you journey under lush jungle canopies, along the golden coastline and laidback surf towns, you’ll soon be rich with memorable experiences. You could become a pro at spotting toucans in Monteverde’s steamy cloud forests or listen out for the distant whoop of white-faced capuchins in Corcovado, but really, it’s the pace of life here that gets you. The phrase ‘hustle and bustle’ isn’t in Costa Rica’s vocabulary; as you’d expect from a country whose unofficial motto is ‘pura vida’ – the pure life.

Premium Costa Rica

MARILYN · Traveled April 2023
MY HUSBAND AND I RECENTLY WENT ON THE INTREPID COSTA RICA TOUR [APRIL 29 - MAY 7] WITH INTREPID GUIDE LUZ AMADOR. IN SHORT THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC TRIP. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT -- THE PLACES WE WENT, THE THINGS WE SAW, THE HOTELS WE STAYED AT, AND THE NATURALISTS AT THE CLOUD FOREST, MOUNT DE ANTONIO, ETC. THE GROUP WERE WONDERFUL THAT WE WERE WITH. BUT MOST OF ALL OUR GUIDE -- LUZ AMADOR -- WAS THE BEST GUIDE WE HAVE EVER HAD -- AND WE HAVE TRAVELLED THE WORLD OVER THE PAST 3 DECADES WITH MANY GUIDES!!! IF YOU GET HER, YOU WILL BE VERY LUCKY. AND CHEPPY -- OUR DRIVER -- WAS SUCH AN AMAZING DRIVER -- ESPECIALLY ON THOSE THIN ROADS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE PARKING ON BOTH SIDES AND ARE TWO WAY TRAFFIC ROADS -- WHICH IN NEW YORK WOULD ONLY BE A ONE WAY ROAD WITH NO PARKING ALLOWED. YET CHEPPY DROVE THOSE ROADS SO WELL AND SO SAFELY -- MAKING US ALL FEEL SAFE. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND INTREPID TOURS FOR YOUR COSTA RICA TRIP -- BUT DO THE PREMIUM COSTA RICA -- YOU STAY IN BEAUTIFUL HOTELS. AND TRY TO GET LUZ AMADOR AS YOUR TOUR GUIDE !!!
