Costa Rica Active Adventure

Feel alive with a family holiday to remember forever

The saying ‘good things come in small packages’ was practically invented for Costa Rica.  This small but wonderful country has a range of micro climates ranging from its 762 miles of pristine coast line to rain forest, cloud forest, dry forest, mountain ranges, wetlands and other aquatic habitats. 

We are delighted to offer you a fantastic holiday itinerary to include as many of this country's stunning natural landscapes as possible.  Another huge attraction to Costa Rica is the incredible variety of wildlife and over 13,000 plant species can be found here.

Highlights of our Active Adventure holiday, which is suitable for families with children aged 10 and over, include rainforest boat trip to the Tortugeuero National Park, kayaking through the Tortuguero Canals, wildlife hiking, white water rafting, horse riding, mountain biking, zip wiring across the Sarapiqui River, and guided walking tours to the impressive Arenal Volcano.
