The adventure

Make it truly your own. Start with this TailorMade sample itinerary, then work with our Private Travel team to customize the tour. Culture, nature, animals and adventure — Costa Rica has it all. Go paddling through rapids in La Fortuna, embark on a night walk in Monteverde to spot nocturnal animals, and hike along Manuel Antonio National Park to take in the incredible views. With endless add-on activities and selections, this tour to Costa Rica can be made unique to how you travel best.

◆Arrive at any time. Your arrival transfer is included.
◆Drive to Sarapiquí to visit the G Adventures-supported Mi Cafecito Community Coffee Plantation. Learn about the impact this project has had on the community and sample some of the products they sell. Continue on to the Arenal region and upon arrival into La Fortuna, get right in the swing of things with an afternoon of canyoning past waterfalls in the jungle. In the evening and chill at the pool as you take in views of the surrounding jungle and volcanoes.
◆Take in the sights of the river filled with amazing wildlife and natural wonders with a day of adrenaline packed white water rafting on the Sarapiquí River. Like much of Costa Rica, the area is a birders’ paradise, with over 600 species as permanent residents. In the evening, relax in the soothing waters of the local hot springs.
