Three nights in Drake Bay the remote gateway to some of Costa Rica's premier wildlife destinations
Corcovado National Park the 'most biologically intense place on Earth'
Discover the wildlife and waterways of Tortuguero, an important nesting site for Green turtles (July Oct)
Unrivalled wildlife viewing monkeys, sloths, dolphins & whales (in season)

The Costa Rica's Coastal Secrets trip starts from and ends in San Jose. It is a marine wildlife trip that takes 15 days taking you through Osa Peninsula, Tortuguero National Park, Savegre Cloud Forest and 7 other destinations in Costa Rica. Costa Rica's Coastal Secrets is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

From the wildlife rich waterways of Tortuguero to the dense jungle coastline of the Osa Peninsula, an area labelled by National Geographic as 'the most biologically intense place on Earth', Costa Rica reveals its secrets: Scarlet macaws rule the roost adding brilliant flashes of red, blue and gold to the foliage; Humpback whales breed in the waters off-shore, and sloths lazily crawl along cecropia branches.

Costa Rica delivers!

5 - Excellent

“Wow! What a trip. Everything I hoped for and a little bit more. Can't believe how much we packed in. Can't believe I got into bird watching (or sighting really). Can't believe I was so willing to rise at unearthly hours.”

If you care about conservation this trip will bring a smile to your face

5 - Excellent

“Costa Rica has clearly learned that conservation and habitat preservation bring benefits not only to wildlife and the environment but also to local populations and the national economy. The guides who support Costa Ricas ecotourism industry are nothing short of inspirational; their training, level of knowledge, understanding of ecosystems and their enthusiasm to impart their knowledge bode well for our planet. Anyone who cares about the natural world and its well-being cannot fail to love this trip which will bring a smile to their face every single day. The trip takes in just about all of the biomes of a country which can rightfully boast to be one of the most biodiverse in the world. To achieve this, its a busy trip which covers a lot of miles with stays at some very attractive lodges on both coasts and in the mountains. It also features some wonderful destinations which are off the well worn tourist track. The September trip had some rain on most days, although never for long and although it was hot and humid a lot of the time, our air-conditioned coach with wifi and Carlos, a brilliant driver, made the travelling comfortable for us. We loved the trip and came home with memories (and photographs) to share and to last through many years.”

Bugs, birds and whales.

5 - Excellent

“Our 2nd visit to Costa Rica, and it surpassed our expectations in all areas. The itinerary is very well planned to give an experience of the great biodiversity of Costa Rica from both coastal areas, Caribbean and Pacific, up to the high regions of the beautiful Savegre. The lodges were excellent, Drakes Bay Wilderness Resort is particularly amazing - including the 'interesting' boat ride out to it. If you enjoy wildlife.....it's definitely the place to go.”
