Highlights

Arenal: Grab your camera, as you’re about to experience a live (and very photogenic) volcano in the Costa Rican rainforest. 

Insta-op! Trek around the jungle and admire this sparkling tower of water. Then cool off with a dip in the pool.

Arenal: Once seen as a true “gift of the gods,” cacao has a big story to tell. You’ll learn about different types of chocolate, how it’s made, and most importantly - how cacao farming is evolving to support biodiversity and the environment. Oh, and of course, you'll help prepare (and taste!) plenty of chocolate, before heading off with a small souvenir bag of cacao beans to roast at home.This experience supports the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Monteverde: Step onto a family-run coffee farm that champions the local Chorotega community. From seed to cup, you’ll learn how micro batches, gourmet blends and specialty coffees are created — all while supporting Indigenous jobs and traditions. Expect a full sensory hit of aromas, flavours and lush Costa Rican scenery as you discover how this project boosts local producers and uplifts the wider community.This experience supports the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Monteverde: A stroll through the misty upper level of the forest is an otherworldly experience. We’re literally on cloud 9 with excitement (soz).

Wanna do your bit to help the planet while out on the road? This is your chance to help support the local ecosystem. As you work, you’ll learn all about the local trees, and the benefits that replanting them has for the ecosystem and the wildlife that lives here.

Manuel Antonio National Park: Ah! The place of our wildest travel dreams. Lush jungle with sloths chilling in the trees. Paradise beaches just made for a relaxing beer.

Itinerary

Costa Rica’s wildest experiences come together in one trip: rainforests, volcanoes, surf breaks and hot springs. Zipline over misty forests in Monteverde, hit the surf in Jaco and spot sloths in Manuel Antonio National Park. Add coffee, chocolate, wildlife and pura vida energy for the full hit of Costa Rica.

day 1San Jos to Arenal via Sarapiqu

Hola San Jos! After meeting up with your fellow Costa Rican explorers this morning we'll get straight on the road, bound for the biodiverse beauty of Sarapiqu. Renowned for its fertile lands and gorgeous scenery, we'll stop off here for our first taste of fresh Costa Rican air - and our first dose of adventure for those keen to get a little wet and wild. How to round off the first day of our adventure? How about catching our first glimpse of one of the most incredible volcanoes in Costa Rica, Arenal. This volcano is near perfectly formed and famed for its hot springs and healing properties. Dinner tonight will be a group affair in town after an action-packed first day. And our accommodation for the night is something special, set within stunning gardens in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano. Take a dip in the pool or watch iguanas bask atop the trees. This is the life.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
