Costa Rica Tours & Vacations

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.

Saraya · Traveled November 2023
Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful, well taken care of countries, I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Through our tour guide, Allan, we were able to get a real local experience - he was organised, kind, flexible, informative and oh so fun! Would highly highly recommend!

Liza was an amazing tour guide. She made the entire tour so enjoyable with her vast knowledge about the country, restaurants, animals and plants that she shared with us. It was also very cool to meet people from all over the world and share the Costa Rica Experience together. 10/10 would recommend this trip!

Costa Rica Experience

Ilana · Traveled November 2023
This trip was excellent! If you want to see wildlife, this is for you! Noelia was the best guide we could have hoped for. Like other people have said, it's an expensive country and the activities can add up but the adventures are unsurpassed. Bring sunscreen, bug spray, and a water bottle. Be prepared for humidity.
