Day 1: Arrive to the
San Jose international airport where a private shuttle will pick you up and take you to the foot of the majestic Arenal volcano. The
Arenal Kioro Hotel will be your base camp for the duration of your stay in this verdant region, and offers direct views of the active volcano from the comfort of your own room. Explore the hotel's own natural hot springs property for the perfect first evening in
Costa Rica.
Day 2-3: Discover the region from several different perspectives while you learn about its history and natural wonders on two adventure tours. First, take a hike around the base of the volcano over cooled lava fields and through tropical forest with a nature guide before enjoying a soak in natural hot springs and dinner at Tabacon Resort. The next day you will see the region from a bird's eye view as you traverse bridges suspended from the tree tops with a professional guide.
Day 4: After breakfast, transfer to Manuel Antonio, a coastal town that is home to the
Manuel Antonio National Park, where you’ll stay at the family-friendly
Si Como No hotel.
Day 5: Today you will experience Costa Rica’s most popular adventure tour: the canopy zip line. Expert guides will have you soaring through the trees attached to cables suspended through the rain forest canopy for an unforgettable day of adventure.
Day 6-7: It’s time to hit the beach! Start by educating yourselves on the wealth of wildlife and marine life in the area on the Manuel Antonio National Park tour. Your guide will help you spot monkeys, sloths and more, and then leave you to enjoy the tiny coves and white sand beaches, a truly picturesque setting for your last few days in paradise.
Day 8: Your Costa Rican holiday fun has come to an end. Take a private transfer to the San Jose international airport for your flight home.
