Tour Plans

Welcome to San Jose! Depending on when you arrive (and how tired you are after the flight), you might have some free time to hit the town and explore. Maybe head downtown and take a stroll among the grand plazas and centuries-old buildings.
After an early breakfast, you'll leave San José and transfer about three hours west to the central Pacific Coast, a hub of biodiversity featuring several world-class national parks. You will be staying near Manuel Antonio National Park, a protected area famous for having both virgin rainforest as well as white-sand beaches fronting the Pacific. After checking in to your hotel, you can spend the remainder of the day enjoying the hotel facilities and relaxing on nearby beaches. We recommend visiting the namesake Playa Manuel Antonio, whose over 1,000 feet of white sands curve around a crescent cove with jade and turquoise waters.
Today you'll take a snorkeling tour around Manuel Antonio. You'll board a 100-foot catamaran and head out to a nearby reef where you can snorkel among colorful fish and other marine life, or just relax on the boat and spot the dolphins frolicking nearby. Food and drinks are provided on the boat, so there is no need to head ashore.
Activities today include horseback riding on the beach or up to a beautiful waterfall, guided hikes in the park, ocean fishing, sea kayaking, mountain biking, snorkeling, riding scooters, body surfing, boogie boarding, or just sunbathing on the beach.
Make your way up the Pacific Coast to the village of Tárcoles, located near the Carara River National Park. This area is known for its scenic bridge which is an optimum vantage point for wildlife spotting. Take the afternoon to enjoy the surrounding region.
After breakfast, you'll travel to Monteverde and enjoy some side trips along the way. Upon arriving in the afternoon, you'll partake in an exciting zip-line tour over cloud forest canopy. Aided by professionally-trained tour guides and state-of-the-art safety equipment, you'll fly from tree to tree and feel the rush of adrenaline as you travel over a network of 16 cables. The tour culminates with its most iconic and heart-pounding activity: the Tarzan swing. On this bungee-like drop, you'll swing hundreds of feet over the ground like the King of the Jungle himself.
In the morning, a bilingual guide will pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, famous worldwide for its great diversity of flora and fauna. This is one of the few areas where you can observe the rare resplendent quetzal, an aptly named avian species that is regarded as one of the world's most unique and beautiful birds. In the early afternoon, you'll have some free time. Maybe partake in an optional tour that whisks you off to a working coffee farm to learn about the history and role of coffee in Costa Rican culture (yes, frequent tastings are included). After a traditional Costa Rican lunch, you'll head across Lake Arenal to the town of La Fortuna, gateway to the iconic Arenal Volcano. Check into your hotel and spend the rest of the evening relaxing.
This morning you're in for a treat. First, embark on a hike over the famous Arenal Hanging Bridges, a network of 14 suspension bridges affording panoramic views of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal. Afterward, continue on to the other star of this region, the La Fortuna waterfall, which plunges 35 meters (120ft) along cliffs blanketed in green flora. Hike down to the base where you'll discover gentle cascades and a natural swimming pool—perfect for a quick dip. After a refreshing swim, spend the afternoon on your own exploring the town of La Fortuna, enjoying your hotel's amenities, or participating in another optional adventure. You can go on a canopy zip-line tour, visit the butterfly garden, ride an ATV, or get a stress-relieving massage. In the evening, take a soothing dip in one of Arenal Volcano's famous hot springs and enjoy dinner by the waterside.
Today, finish your Arenal experience with an activity of your choosing. You can immerse yourself in local culture through live folk music, take a tortilla cooking class, pay a visit to a sugar-cane mill, or enjoy a Costa Rican-style lunch at Casona Río Fortuna, once the home of former Costa Rican president Rafael Yglesias Castro. If you're hungry for even more adventure, a waterfall rappelling tour is sure to satisfy your adrenaline craving. The tour kicks off with a 25-meter (82-foot) descent down a suspended bridge, continuing on to a series of four waterfalls within a canyon. By the end of the tour, you will have rappelled down a total of eight waterfalls, each surrounded on many sides by virgin rainforest.
A well-kept secret, Tenorio is one of the newest national parks in Costa Rica. The park's principal river, the sky-blue Río Celeste, draws curious adventurers eager for a glimpse of its ethereal colors. Refreshingly, the area has not yet become a major tourist site. The two main attractions here are the Tenorio Volcano, as well as the aforementioned Rio Celeste and its flagship waterfall. Take the evening to relax and gather your strength—you'll be venturing into the park tomorrow.
Today you'll uncover the beauty of Tenorio National Park on a nature hike. As you walk through this untouched protected area, many of the creatures that live along the banks of the Río Celeste, like sloths and monkeys, will appear along the way. Continue along the trail, which follows the river and gets bluer as you travel further upstream, until you arrive at a waterfall unrivaled in beauty anywhere in the country. Before heading back, you'll have time to swim in the blue lagoon at the base of the waterfall and relax on the banks. Spend the evening back in your hotel.
Today you'll drive west into Guanacaste Province and to the Gulf of Papayago, an area of the northern Pacific coast known for its golden beaches and secluded coves. The beaches in this region are famous for their epic surf conditions and long breaks. You'll have ample time to indulge should wave-riding strike your fancy. You can also experience the area through a variety of other activities, including kayaking through the mangroves around the village of Tamarindo, a city tour of Liberia (capital of Guanacaste Province), snorkeling and diving off the coast, or a relaxing catamaran excursion. If the mood strikes, you can make a quick visit to Rincon de la Vieja for more waterfall adventures, or book a river cruise in Palo Verde National Park.
It's time to say goodbye to Costa Rica after two weeks of nonstop adventure. A representative will meet you at your hotel and drive you to the Liberia airport for your return flight home.
