I don't think we would have seen as much of costa Rica as we did if we had not taken this tour, it fun to meet new friends the Bus driver was amazing and the guide was so knowable and rich in history made the trip fun, I would have made the last stop longer the down time at the beach was much need after being on the nonstop go.

There were too many wonderful experiences and places to single out any one. The whole trip was incredible. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who is in good physical shape and adventurous. There was quite a bit of strenuous walking and some in our group struggled a bit.

From beginning to the end, this 7 day trip was fabulous! Beautiful scenery, hotels and lodges were perfect, meals were great, and we were given so much information regarding the culture in Costa Rica. I am highly recommending this trip to all!

This was a well planned tour that hit the high points of Northern Costa Rica. Our guide, Rafa, was excellent and shared his extensive knowledge and love of nature as well as the history and culture of Costa Rica and Central America. Our hotels were beautiful and typical of this eco-conscious country. Keep in mind that the roads are slow and the terrain is hilly, even at the hotels, so pay attention to the tour description as you need to be somewhat fit. Personally, I loved my first experience in a kayak! I did skip the zip line (did it once on a prior trip) and hanging bridges, but many group members participated and had a great time. They also spoke highly of the pre-tour extension to Tortuguero which didn't work out for me, but I was there on a prior trip and it's amazing.

Cista Rica is beautiful and full of lovely flowers & wildlife! The ppl are friendly and helpful. All the hotels were great! Scenic and comfortable. Most memorable hotel was Mountain Paradise with its Flintstone style shower! I opened the bedroom curtains to a lovely private patio, with a beautiful view of the Arenal Volcano! Wow! During our tour, we saw Blue Morpho Butterflies. Soo many birds! Hummingbirds. Even a few purple ones! parrots, Macaws, Toucans, Herons. Peccary, bats, Sloths! MONKEYS! Iguanas, Caiman, Jesus Chirst Lizard, that walks on water, Geckos! Blue jeans dart frogs, Halloween Crab and the ugly Hercules Beetle. I took the optional ocean d dolphin tour. We saw a big green turtle and lots of dolphins! Near the end they played oldies and let ppl swim out in the water by the boat. They fed us pinapple and watermelon too! It was a great way to end our tour!

Guanacaste - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

 

Tour Highlights

  • Hike or camp in Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park where you can see smoking fumaroles, boiling mud pools and other tell-tale signs of volcanic activity as well as a wealth of animal species.
  • Experience life in the treetops by taking a canopy walk in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. There is also a hair-raising zipline for those in search of an adrenaline rush.
  • Costa Rica has made a name for itself as a top surfing destination for novices and experts alike. Tamarindo Beach and Playa Negra are two of the Guanacaste’s top spots for catching waves.
  • Costa Rica is well known to sport fishing enthusiasts. The popular Coco Beach is one of the cheapest and best place to organise sea fishing trips.
  • Explore some of Costa Rica’s beautiful lesser-known beaches away from the usual spots frequented by the tourist hordes.
  • For scuba enthusiasts, a diving trip to the Catalina islands should not be missed. Marine life that can be spotted there includes white tip reef sharks, spotted eagle rays and manta rays

Travel Tips

  • It is now possible to fly to Liberia, Guanacaste’s capital, direct from many major US airports.
  • High season is from mid-December to April. Temperatures are high but rainfall is at its lowest. During the wet season, May to October, rainfall is likely to compromise your plans.
  • The best time to visit is probably November to mid-December when the weather is not too wet but the peak season crowds have still not arrived.
  • The local currency is the Costa Rican Colon but US dollars are widely accepted, and ATMs are easy to find in most towns.
