Costa Rica Family Adventures - Coastlines to Cloud Forests
The best in Costa Rica Family Adventures!
Your daughter beams her flashlight and grins at a colorful tree frog perched an arm’s length away on a guided nocturnal nature walk. Your son can't believe his eyes when he counts fifteen scarlet macaws in the branches of an almond tree. Your heart races as you catch your first wave in a surf lesson.
Welcome to Costa Rica – a land of unspoiled scenic beauty and protected ecological habitat, and one of the world's most family-friendly destinations. Spend a morning exploring Manuel Antonio National Park, keeping an eye out for sloths, agoutis, green iguanas, basilisk lizards and howler, squirrel and white-faced monkeys. Stroll pristine beaches, raft the playful and scenic Pejivalle River rapids and horseback ride through coffee-country with panoramic views of the Turrialba Valley.
When night falls, savor the finger-licking flavors of authentic Costa Rican cuisine and relax and recharge in the comfort of your beautiful jungle lodge, plantation-style casa or eco-friendly beach hotel.

A few more reasons why you've gotta go:
1. The monkeys: They're everywhere! There's nothing quite like seeing (or hearing) one leap from tree to tree right above your head.
2. Where else can you stand perfectly still as a hummingbird eats from your hand?
3. The butterflies: Learn about the life-cycle of nearly 1,000 species of butterflies.
4. For a good gallop! If you're comfortable with it, let your steed loose and listen to the thunder of hooves beneath you as you gallop through coffee country and sugar cane terrain.
