Our Favorite Spots For Family Travel in Costa Rica
Manuel Antonio National Park - mixes sun, beaches, rainforest, ecolodges and adventure in one spectacular park like nowhere else on earth. After a day of exploring the rain forest and spotting an amazing biodiversity of creatures like butterflies, birds, plants, insects, sloths, and four species of monkeys! Then, relax on the beach for a while. Don't relax too much, or a monkey or coatimundi may try to steal your snacks! What's a coatimundi? You'll just have to come and see them, the photos don't do justice, they're so cute!
Monteverde Cloud Forest - is high in the mountains, dense and green and home to a few of the same species you'll find in a lowland rain forest such as howler monkeys and sloths. But, many more species are unique, thriving in this cooler, more humid forest in the clouds. Your guide will mimick the call of Central America's most legendary bird, revered even by the Maya. Woooeeee, woooooeee! And with some luck, a brilliant green and red Quetzal will come to see who's making all of the Quetzal sounds!
Arenal Volcano - is a chance to get just close enough to an active volcano. On an active day, you'll likely see explosions of smoke coming out of the top and at night, red glowing lava flowing down its slopes! There are volcanic hotsprings with pools and literally an entire river of hot water!
Just as she did last time we booked with Adventure Life, Franny really listened to what we wanted for our trip and went the extra mile to help us build the perfect itinerary.

What made our Costa Rica experience great was the wonderful places we stayed and transportation to get to our different areas to visit was excellent! The white water rafting and the snorkeling & dolphin watching were really fun!

Adventure Life took care of everything! All we had to do was show up when we were supposed to, which made our first trip to Costa Rica largely stress-free and incredibly fun. Our trip reps, Hannah and Mariethony, were helpful and responsive, getting back to us by email usually within a few hours. Our accommodations were all great, and we got incredibly blessed with some absolutely stellar guides and drivers.
Our Jungle & Beach trip was an excellent balance of adventure and rest. We got to try out a lot of different activities, including snorkeling, hiking, white water rafting and kayaking, while also partaking of some rest around the pool or by the ocean. We enjoyed seeing and exploring the beautiful Caribbean side of the country.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
