So, focus on your experience and what’s most important to you: nature, relaxation, luxury, fishing, golf – the sky’s the limit.

What’s Included in Our Costa Rica Holiday Packages?

 
All our Costa Rica travel packages come with a series of perks to make this vacation unforgettable.
This includes all transportation and accommodations, from the moment you arrive to the moment you board the plane home. For every one of our trips to Costa Rica, we include a day-by-day description of the activities planned for the trip. Or rather, the activities you plan for your trip. Most packages already include tours, so check them out to see if they are the right fit. There’s adventure, romance, and nature waiting in every corner of the country.
Traveling to a foreign country can be complex if you don’t know all the ins and outs. We’re talking about everything from when’s the right time to spot humpback whales, to what to do if you leave your passport locked in the hotel safe. The hotel’s safe from two hotels ago… Oops!
When you book with us, there’s no need to worry about any of it. Every single one of our Costa Rica vacation packages include 24/7 in-country customer service. We'll get that passport back for you! From dining suggestions to questions about (or even changes to) your itinerary, there’s no reason to be alone at any point in your trip to Costa Rica. 
Call us and we’ll gladly provide first-hand knowledge and expert advice, free of charge!

All-Inclusive Getaways

Many of our most sought-after Costa Rica travel packages revolve around the all-inclusive experience. For that, the best place to go is Guanacaste. Stay in a true all-inclusive resort with many on-site amenities. Enjoy meals, drinks, and activities without reaching for your wallet at every turn. Hit the beach and enjoy the tropical sunshine.
Tip: To see more of Costa Rica and experience its vast offerings, combine an all-inclusive destination with a boutique hotel near a volcano or in the jungle.

Family Vacation Packages

Vacationing with family can be tricky. (We’re parents, too. We speak from experience!)
You’re often dealing with a wide range of ages and interests among your family group. It can be hard to please everyone. If that’s your case, there’s no need to worry. We got this. With the right destination, Grandpa can admire nature from the peace of his private balcony, while the teens zip line through the forest. Let us do the hard work, so you can enjoy it. Really enjoy it. Many kid-friendly hotels also offer family activities for everyone to enjoy. Transportation doesn’t have to be complicated, either. We include private transfers to every destination on your itinerary package to Costa Rica.

Romantic Honeymoons

 
When it comes to starting a life together, Costa Rica is the right place.
Honeymoons combine the best of Costa Rica’s beaches, lush rainforests, and the luxury you deserve. For those wishing to relax, there are well-appointed spas and soft-waves beaches to share with your new forever. To add excitement, infuse adrenaline into your day with some whitewater rafting, zip lining, or extreme hiking – just a few of the options available. Or, if nature is what you’re after, birdwatching, hiking and whale-spotting tours are all honeymoon favorites.
This is a great opportunity to make the memories of a lifetime. As you begin to plan your trip to Costa Rica, be sure to tell your Travel Consultant that you’ll be on your honeymoon. 
Romance awaits!
