FAMILY ADVENTURES IN COSTA RICA

Want to pass on your love of travel to the next generation? Travel plays a big role in introducing children to the big wide world.

Timed to coincide with school holidays, the Costa Rica family adventures are accompanied by expert local tour leaders, whose knowledge, passion and experience are ideal for leading engaging trips for families. 

In spite of its small size, Costa Rica is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world with volcanoes, wildlife, rainforests, and beaches to explore. 

Your Costa Rica vacation might include adventures like whitewater rafting, a rainforest canopy tour, relaxing at the beach, or wildlife spotting in the rainforest from a rainforest lodge. Popular spots include Manuel Antonio National Park, Tortuguero, Monteverde cloud forest and Arenal Volcano

In the jungle, Howler monkeys bark from the treetops, and you might see Amazon kingfishers, blue herons and toucans, as well as the endangered green macaw, flying through the air, while otters and caiman hunt along the riverbanks.

The protected shoreline welcomes green, giant leatherback, hawksbill and loggerhead turtles, which lumber up the beach where they were born to lay their eggs in the sand. Costa Rica’s best-known cloud forest, Monteverde, straddles the Central Mountain Range. It’s the last sizeable pocket of primary cloud forest in Central America and supports six different ecosystems. You can explore the area on foot, by horseback or by zip-line.

Costa Rica has a long, proud history of nature-based and adventure travel, with friendly Costa Ricans, "Ticos", who enthusiastically invite travellers to experience Pura Vida, or "Pure Life."

It’s ideal for thrill-seekers. Fly down zip-wires over the jungle and walk on volcanoes in the same day. And for wildlife-lovers, stay in the rainforest and search for sloths. Listen to a chorus of crickets, frogs and more, from silence to a cacophony as the sun sets.

Compared with the Brazilian or Peruvian Amazon, reached through a series of internal flights and boat transfers, Costa Rica’s primary rainforests are extremely accessible. You can drive right up into them on well-maintained road networks: it’s the chance to experience an exotic ecosystem without the hassle of complicated logistics.

It’s a well-developed country, having nurtured its travel industry since the 1970s. The beaches are an added bonus: some are surf hubs; others have a mellow, desert-island feel.

With 30 years of adventure travel experience, I select operators who deliver the best possible holidays for my clients. I remain independent and have the flexibility to provide you with the best package to suit your specific needs and budget. I search the whole market to find the best deals for every aspect of your trip so that you don’t have to, providing honest and impartial advice.

I plan every holiday the same way. When I request quotes, I ask for locally owned accommodation and local guides where the itinerary allows, and I follow my Animal Welfare Policy on wildlife experiences. If your holiday includes flights, a payment to Sustainable Travel International is included in the price and cannot be opted out of. You can read the Traveller’s Pledge and the rest of my approach on my Responsible Travel page.
