Tortuguero Canal Getaway

TCRT4N · 4 days

Tortuguero Canal Getaway

Four days in a place the road never reaches. You arrive by boat, wake to howler monkeys, and drift through channels barely wider than the hull while kingfishers cut across the bow.

Poás to Monteverde

CRSLHW · 6 days

Poás to Monteverde

Six days across the spine of the country, with people who become friends somewhere around the second evening. A steaming crater, a volcano at dusk, and a zipline through the cloud forest.

Pools, Pottery & Surf

CRLTHW · 6 days

Pools, Pottery & Surf

Guanacaste at its most easygoing. Turquoise pools you have mostly to yourselves, an afternoon at the wheel with the potters of Guaitil, and your first wave in Tamarindo.

Arenal to Nicoya

CRBC · 8 days

Arenal to Nicoya

Volcano first, then the coast — and by the time you reach Santa Teresa nobody is checking the clock. Eight days that leave you room to do as much or as little as you like.

Rincón to Flamingo Bay

CRLP · 6 days

Rincón to Flamingo Bay

The ground itself is alive here — mud pools bubbling under dry forest, steam rising through bare branches. Then three unhurried days on a pale crescent of Pacific sand.

Craters to Coastline

CRSTHW · 11 days

Craters to Coastline

Eleven days that start at a volcano rim and end with sand in your bag. Cloud forest, hot springs, blue rivers, and enough beach at the end to forget what day it is.

Canopy, Cloud Forest & Coast

CRQ · 9 days

Canopy, Cloud Forest & Coast

Everything most people come to Costa Rica for, in nine days and the right order. Waterfalls, a volcano, the canopy from above, and sloths in the trees at Manuel Antonio.

Solo Traveller Pack

CRSI · 8 days

Solo Traveller Pack

Built for arriving on your own and not staying that way. A cooking class, a coffee farm, a waterfall on a rope — and whole days left empty on purpose.

Two Coasts, Two Weeks

CRCR · 14 days

Two Coasts, Two Weeks

The Caribbean and the Pacific are four hours apart and nothing alike. Reggae, patois and coconut rice on one side; surf, sunsets and howler monkeys on the other.

Rivers, Rainforests & Reefs

CRSM · 13 days

Rivers, Rainforests & Reefs

Thirteen days that keep you moving. Cloud forest, volcano trails, two nights in a lodge on the Pacuare reachable only by raft, and the Caribbean waiting at the end.

Deep Jungle & Whale Coast

CRAC · 12 days

Deep Jungle & Whale Coast

The hardest tour here and the one people talk about for years. Three nights living with families in a village off the map, learning plants and boiling cane — then the whale coast.

Volcano to Coast

CRSSW · 8 days

Volcano to Coast

Eight days of moving gently and sleeping well. Sunrise practice with Arenal in front of you, volcanic mud and thermal water, and the last evenings barefoot on Playa Carrillo.

Family Wildlife Adventure

CRFA · 9 days

Family Wildlife Adventure

Paced for children from six, and genuinely good for the adults too. Frogs the size of a thumbnail, a raft, a horse, a volcano — and short enough drives that nobody asks how long.

Coast to Coast

Coast to Coast

Sixteen days and the whole country, ocean to ocean. If you are going to come this far and only come once, this is the one that leaves nothing out.

Canals, Wetlands & Blue Waters

CRTG · 8 days

Canals, Wetlands & Blue Waters

Three water systems in eight days, in lodges chosen for their silence. Dawn on the Tortuguero canals, herons standing still in the Caño Negro wetlands, and Río Celeste at its bluest.
