COSTA RICA HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

From its tropical jungle to its vibrant cloud forest to its gorgeous coastline, Costa Rica’s natural treasures promise families an unmissable holiday.

You’ll experience white water rafting on the untamed Pacuare River, navigating class II and III rapids and marvelling at spectacular scenery as you weave through untouched rainforest. You’ll go zip lining, horseback riding, trekking and canyoneering through the rich jungle, and enjoy wildlife excursions from your lodge in a pristine Tortuguero reserve.

The trip finishes at a beautiful beach resort on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, where you can alternate between surfing and kayaking with sunbathing by the pool and blissful spa treatments surrounded by tropical gardens.

Costa Rica is an excellent family destination, as it is safe to visit, easy to get around and there is so much to see. You will never be bored on our Family Costa Rica travel itinerary.

DAY 1-2

SAN JOSÉ

Note: British Airways currently operate the only direct flight between the UK and Costa Rica. It departs from London Gatwick and is a day flight on the outbound flight and overnight on the way home. It operates three times each week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Flights to Costa Rica are also operated by KLM (via Amsterdam) and Iberia (via Madrid). There are also connections via the US.

On arrival you will be met and driven 15 minutes from the airport to your luxury hotel set amidst coffee plantations overlooking the San José Valley. Flanked by imposing mountains and volcanoes, Costa Rica’s unassuming capital is the gateway to the lush hillsides, coffee farms and mighty peaks of the Central Valley.

The following day you’ll visit the Doka coffee farm and see how Costa Rica’s most famous export is produced. The farm produces some of the country’s best coffee and you will of course get to try the finished product at the end of the tour. Afterwards you will return to your hotel and have the afternoon to relax by the beautiful outdoor pool, overlooking the surrounding hills.

Testimonial 6
“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91ºÚÁÏÍø stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
