About Your Trip
Explore a Costa Rican cloud forest, surf the best Pacific waves and sleep near the Arenal volcano. This eight-day adventure spans western Costa Rica from the capital, San José, to Tamarindo. It’s perfect for wildlife watchers and adrenaline seekers – you’ll spot sloths, hummingbirds and frogs, and white-water rafting through the jungle. There’s also a visit to a volcanic coffee plantation, a cooking lesson, and plenty of wind-down time to spend just splashing about in a swimming pool (or beneath a waterfall). All of our trips are flightless in destination, with 100% of all carbon emissions offset. It's just part of how we see the world while being good to it.

Accommodation
In the midst of bustling downtown San José, Hotel Presidente stands out – it’s covered in a vibrant multi-colored mural, and the interior mixes local history with modern touches. Breakfast is served buffet-style, while dinner (and drinks) are on the roof.
The mighty Arenal volcano is your neighbor at this laid-back jungle resort. Amenities are plentiful. There are several pools and jacuzzis (one featuring a swim-up bar) fed by natural hot springs; a Costa Rican restaurant; and sprawling tropical botanic gardens to explore.
On the fringes of Monterverde’s cloud forests, this eco-conscious lodge has heaps of rustic, woodsy charm. Lush, landscaped gardens are encircled by a stone wall, while rooms come finished with wood-panelled ceilings, tiled floors, and balconies with garden or forest views.
Surf’s up at this super-glam resort, overlooking the surf at Tamarindo beach. Expect barefoot luxury with king-size bedrooms opening up to landscaped gardens, four outdoor pools, six restaurants and cafes, and outdoor massages on secluded cabanas.
