Costa Rica Nature Explorer

Start & end in San Jose 8 days Up to 20

About this trip

Eight days through Costa Rica's rainforests, volcanoes and beaches, built around wildlife and the outdoors rather than a fixed group itinerary. It's private and personalised, so the pace and focus can flex around who you're travelling with.

Expect a mix of adrenaline and downtime — zip-lining through the canopy, guided wildlife walks, and soaking in natural hot springs, balanced against beach time and local meals.

What you'll do

  • Zip-line through rainforest canopy
  • Soak in natural hot springs near a volcano
  • Join guided wildlife-spotting tours in the rainforest
  • Spend time on Costa Rica's beaches
  • Try local Costa Rican cuisine along the way
Good to know
  • Private and personalized — the trip can be shaped around your group
  • Partially guided, so some days you'll be exploring independently
  • Suited to families and nature enthusiasts rather than a fast-paced backpacker crowd
