Family Vacation in Costa Rica

Arrival at the Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO). After customs and enter Costa Rica, a representative will be waiting for you outside the airport. You will have a private transfer to the area of Arenal Volcano (travel time 2.5 hours).

Get your walking shoes on and your cameras ready because today you will experience the many different hues of vivid greens as you explore the rainforest for the very first time, both from the ground and from the treetops, as you will be crossing over the jungle via hanging bridges. The pristine forest only grows in beauty and awe as you continue your trek toward the looming La Fortuna Waterfall, where you can feel one with nature as you swim in its waters. Enjoy a delicious lunch in a local restaurant. After you are refreshed and refueled, the adventure will conclude with a leisurely nature walk through the Arenal Volcano National Park.

Now that you experienced the mystery of the jungle, you will observe the many different forests and farmlands as you transfer to the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula via a shuttle transfer. Try to find dolphins, turtles, and other marine wildlife as a ferry takes you to your final shuttle.

Listen to the calls and noises of the jungle as its inhabitants are waking up during your short boat ride to the Curu Reserve. During your jungle walk, as you spot different species of wildlife, you will be able to decipher which animals belong to which calls. The tour continues with a boat ride to an illuminating, white sand beach called Tortuga Island, where you can snorkel over the colorful reef and explore the habitat that houses a variety of marine wildlife. With nature surrounding you, there will be many opportunities to discover even more flora and fauna as you continue your adventure on a mangrove safari in the Pochote Mangrove. This tour includes a delicious picnic lunch style.

After breakfast, you will have a transfer back to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. You will be picked up by a minivan, then you take a ferry, then another minivan to your final destination. The rest of the day is at your own pace, explore the city, eat at a local restaurant, or just relax at your hotel.

It is not a “goodbye” but a “see you again” as you take your private transfer to Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) to travel back home and reunite with family and friends.
