This isn’t just a vacation—it’s a journey your family will remember forever.

Your Costa Rica family vacation starts in San José and takes you across the country—from the Caribbean to the Pacific. This isn’t just a getaway; it’s a journey your family will remember forever.

On this 12-day adventure, you’ll discover waterfalls, volcanoes, cloud forests, and beaches, all carefully chosen for travelers of every age.

First, explore the vibrant capital of San José to enjoy a taste of Costa Rican culture. Then, head to the charming village of Tortuguero on the Caribbean coast. There, you’ll cruise jungle-lined canals, watch for monkeys, toucans, and crocodiles, and stroll through a colorful town known for sea turtle conservation.

Next, journey to Arenal, home to the country’s legendary volcano. Here, your family can go whitewater rafting, hike hanging bridges, relax in natural hot springs, or spot sloths in the rainforest. You’ll also learn how chocolate is made—from bean to bar.

Afterward, continue to Monteverde. Trade volcanoes for misty mountains and fresh air. Fly through the treetops on a thrilling zipline or walk the cloud forest trails with a local naturalist guide.

Finally, end your  Costa Rica family vacation on the Pacific coast at Manuel Antonio. Sail on a catamaran to spot dolphins and snorkel in calm waters. To finish, enjoy a guided hike through Manuel Antonio National Park or paddle through the mangroves of Damas Island.
