About this trip
Seven days in Costa Rica built around getting outdoors and moving through rain- and cloudforest on foot, horseback, and by raft.
Expect a mix of adrenaline and nature, from paddling white water to zip-lining through the forest canopy, with the pace set by you rather than a guide leading every step.
What you'll do
- White water rafting through Costa Rica's rivers
- Horseback riding through the countryside
- Zip-lining across the cloudforest canopy
- Hiking trails through rainforest terrain
- Self-guided - you make your own way between activities rather than following a group leader throughout
Worth it if you're fit, flexible with logistics, and want activities pre-arranged. Think twice if you need downtime, expect a cohesive group experience, or want wildlife guarantees.
- Activities professionally led and well-organized; guides adapt plans when conditions change, turning disappointments into memorable experiences.
- Shared shuttle pickups from multiple hotels eat significantly into exploration time and activity duration throughout the trip.
- Itinerary is relentlessly packed with early starts and multiple daily climbs; very little unscheduled downtime to sleep in or explore independently.
- Activities are physically demanding and uphill-heavy; difficulty descriptions are accurate or understated, not exaggerated like typical US tours.
