Costa Rica

Costa Rica offers an intoxicating cocktail of nature and adventure in a diverse natural environment that takes in mountains, volcanoes, wildlife, rainforest and beach. Good quality accommodation balanced with real adventure make Costa Rica a big hit with active families.

Our family holidays, Rainforest & Volcanoes and Active Costa Rica, are hugely popular and both offer regular departure dates.

Adults and children alike are caught in the excitement of sensory overload. Mountain bike close to the active Arenal volcano, take a tropical rainforest walk at night, explore the rainforest canopy by suspended walkway or on a flying zip wire if you’re feeling brave.

Visit hot water springs and mud pools, white water raft on the Sarapiqui River, see masses of wildlife including manatees, tree frogs, macaws, iguanas, sloths and crocodiles.

And there’s even more – you can horse ride on a working ranch, canoe on the Caribbean coast and visit the Monteverde Cloud Forest.

While these holidays are action-packed, there is also plenty of time to socialise and simply relax on the beach or by the pool with your family and new-found friends, making these holidays ideal for solo parents, mums and dads, and even grandparents.

Accommodation is in a mix of hotels, local lodges and tented camps, allowing you to get close to nature whilst also ensuring comfort and a good night’s sleep. If the dates and itineraries aren’t quite right for you we will tailor-make your holiday for the perfect mix.
