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.

Costa Rica Experience

Our intrepid trip in Costa Rica was amazing, and our guide Rafa did an absolutely superb job showing us the country and its wildlife. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience Costa Rica but doesn’t know where to start. The small groups meant we made friends with everyone else on the trip as well!

If you’re on the fence about this trip go ahead and say yes. We covered a lot of ground in just 9 days and I got a great view of Costa Rica. Our guide, Rafa, was phenomenal and he’ll quickly become your favorite teacher and big brother at the same time. There are a ton of optional elasticities that will help customize the trip for when you want to be more physically active or less, all with a strong emphasis on local families and businesses to keep your finger on the pulse of this beautiful country. It was drier and hotter than expected on my trip so if you’re going in May be prepared for Wet season to be a little later than it’s traditionally been.

Do not miss out on this trip. Costa Rica is amazing, but there is so much to see and do. I cannot recommend this trip more highly? And if you have the great privilege of being guided by Rafael Ocampo, count yourself lucky.

I loved this trip, was dubious about a guided trip but was completely wrong about my assumptions. Rafa was an absolutely amazing guide, and having our transport planned took a lot of stress out of traveling. Likewise we made great friends from across the world in the process, and the small group made it easy to get to know everyone.
