Good things happen when we travel

Discover Costa Rica on an original tailor-made tour

One of the world’s most eco-diverse and downright beautiful countries, little Costa Rica offers a big holiday experience. Misty cloud forests, towering volcanoes, jungles teeming with wildlife and miles of unspoilt coastline await. Our specialists have travelled all around this happy nation and they’re here to help you discover the very best of it.

Spot sloths in the forests of Corcovado, go glamping on Isla Venado, journey deep into the Talamanca Mountains, or travel to neighbouring Nicaragua or Panama… let’s start planning your dream Costa Rica holiday.

Speak to our Costa Rica specialist, Kelly

“I’ve visited Costa Rica a few times and it has never let me down. It’s packed with adventure; from volcanoes to cloudforests. Plus, being wildlife-mad, it’s perfect for me. I love its diversity and impressive conservation efforts.”

Costa Rica Family Holidays

Choosing to take your family on a Costa Rica holiday is always a good idea! Immerse yourselves in one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems in the world; cloud forests bursting with brightly-coloured wildlife, rugged beaches, turquoise seas, bubbling hot springs, and smoking volcanoes. Great for children of all ages and well set up for families, you’ll travel with peace of mind thanks to our friendly and knowledgeable English-speaking local guides and 24/7 in-country support.

Spotting wildlife with your children will become second nature as you glide along winding rivers, venture into the rainforest across canopy bridges, sleep in a jungle treehouse and play on soft sandy beaches. Our trips are designed with families in mind, packed with unique experiences that’ll keep them, and you, entertained. Contact our Travel Specialists about our Costa Rica family holidays and start planning your adventure.

Rickshaw brings you closer

Costa Rica has some big highlights and we certainly wouldn’t advise missing them, but we love to combine the more famous hotspots with lesser-explored areas so you can have an immersive and culturally-rich experience. Stay with the indigenous Bribri tribe and learn about their traditions or give back to the Juanilama community who have worked tirelessly to bring tourism into their region and experience everyday Tico life.

Our travel specialists are passionate about helping you plan a memorable and meaningful trip to Costa Rica. They can share their knowledge and experiences to ensure you have a holiday that is perfect for you. Head to our inspiration page to get started!
