Itinerary
Craving adventure, relaxation, and natural wonders all in one trip? The "Costa Rican Adventure" tour offers an 8-day journey through the remarkable landscapes of Costa Rica, perfectly balancing activity with leisure. Starting and ending in San Jose, this rafting and hiking tour takes in the pristine Pacuare River, the dramatic Arenal Volcano, and your choice of either the misty Monteverde Cloud Forest or the sun-kissed beaches of Manuel Antonio National Park.
This tour is designed for experienced travelers and seniors who seek flexibility—a moderate activity level lets you choose how much or how little adventure you want each day. Begin with gentle whitewater rafting through lush rainforest, then hike the trails around Arenal, exploring vibrant flora and fauna. Soak in rejuvenating natural hot springs before deciding between two iconic destinations: the wildlife-rich Monteverde Cloud Forest or the idyllic Pacific coastline.
The USP of this trip is its adaptability: a flexible itinerary with optional activities allows you to tailor your experience, whether you’re chasing wildlife, relaxing on beaches, or exploring tropical rainforests. Comfortable accommodations and all essential logistics are included, so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
This Costa Rica tour package is your gateway to adventure, wildlife, and relaxation—crafted for those who want to experience the best of Costa Rica at their own pace.
