    Day 1 – Arrive on Isla Jesusita

    Leave your car (and all your worries) behind – it’s time to really unwind and get close to nature. After a short walk through the mangroves, you’ll hop on a boat and in just 10 minutes find yourself on a small island, hidden away from the world in the Gulf of Nicoya. This is your home for the next few days, and here you won’t have many neighbours. You’ll stay in a fully-furnished glamping tent, with a good-sized bed, private bathroom and shower with hot water. There are two on-site restaurants to choose from, where you can enjoy freshly caught seafood, local Costa Rican dishes and lots of vegetarian options all prepared with seasonal ingredients. Take in the views from your terrace, enjoy a swim or sunbathe on a secluded nearby beach and settle into island life.

    Day 2 – Free time

    The next morning, you can start your day with a tasty breakfast overlooking the sea. While you’re staying at Isla Chiquita, you can go on a short guided hike across the island, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views and learn about the plants, birds and wildlife that live here. Afterwards, grab a kayak or paddleboard and explore the calm waters, or kick back and relax on the beach, soaking up the laid-back atmosphere.

    Day 3 – Farewell to Isla Jesusita

    This morning, it’s time to say goodbye to Isla Jesusita. Enjoy your breakfast al fresco, pack your bags and wave goodbye to island living. You’ll hop back on a boat and will be dropped off right where you began your adventure, and where your car is waiting for you.
