Itinerary Overview

Explore Costa Rica on this easy-going and engaging tropical family adventure. Designed for families with children of all ages you'll see monkeys, toucans, sloths and other amazing rainforest wildlife hiking on jungle trails and from on hanging bridges and zip-lines high up in the forest canopy. Discover nocturnal wildlife on a nighttime jungle walk, swim under waterfalls and soak in hot springs. We journey through the rainforests around Arenal Volcano and explore the mystical cloud forests of the Los Angeles Nature Reserve. Enjoy time relaxing at the beach and sea kayaking off the white-sand shores of Manuel Antonio. Along the way we are hosted by "Tico" families for memorable meals in their home, visit local farms, and your expert naturalist guide will introduce you to rural everyday life in Costa Rica.
