Costa Rica Escorted Tours & Holidays

Nestled between two shimmering coastlines, Costa Rica is renowned for its lush cloud and rainforests, active volcanoes, and golden beaches. Wildlife flourishes in every corner, from the call of Howler monkeys swinging through jungle branches, to its abundant birdlife, including hummingbirds and toucans. With its warm-hearted people, commitment to sustainability, and the ever-present spirit of ‘pura vida’ – the pure life – Costa Rica isn’t just a destination; it’s a feeling, an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and embrace the natural world around you.

Once in a Lifetime Experiences

Volcanic wonders – Discover the breathtaking volcanic landscapes of Costa Rica, a dramatic part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. From the impressive one-mile crater at Poás Volcano National Park, where swirling sulphuric steam rises from its active depths to Rincón de la Vieja National Park, where the earth bubbles and steams with fumaroles and boiling mud pools. Experience the mighty force of Mother Nature so spectacularly in one of Costa Rica’s most dynamic and diverse natural wonders – an unforgettable journey!

Walk the scenic trails through the foothills and shimmering lakes of Arenal, the country’s most iconic volcano, before taking in the serene natural beauty at the family-run Ecotermales Fortuna hot springs. Relaxation and recuperation await in the four mineral-rich, naturally-heated geothermal pools, followed by a homemade traditional Costa Rican meal.

Abundant wildlife – Costa Rica offers unforgettable wildlife experiences in its lush and plentiful national parks. Visit Manuel Antonio and Carara National Parks, and encounter a variety of unique wildlife, including the endangered Resplendent quetzal and Howler monkey in their natural habitat. Observe Two and Three-toed sloths as they lounge in the trees and join us on a canal cruise meandering the waterways and passageways of Tortuguero National Park to spot Spectacled caimans, basilisks, toucans and more among the mangroves.

Cloud forests and rainforests – Immerse yourself in Costa Rica’s diverse range of landscapes and experience the varying vegetation and wildlife of both cloud forest and rainforest ecosystems. Traverse the skywalks and hanging bridges of Arenal National Park and Monteverde Cloud Forest, offering unforgettable views and close encounters with the canopy’s rich biodiversity. For a unique nocturnal perspective, join us on a night walk through the Monteverde Cloud Forest, where the jungle comes alive after dark, with the chance to spot Side-striped palm vipers, Red-eyed tree frogs and ocelots.
