Our bite-sized Costa Rica tours

On this San José trip we’ll take care of the airport transfer, your first two nights’ accommodation and a guide to show you the secret spots of the city.

Explore the rural landscape of northern Costa Rica, getting off the usual tourist trail and learning about the lives of the communities living here.

The lush cloud forest of Monteverde is high on the list of Costa Rican must-sees for many travellers. Here, the morning mist lasts most of the day, continuously filtering through this dense, tropical jungle.

Samara is a cosy village with a long, sandy beach, perfect for surfing and sunset walks. Complete with palm trees and a calm sea that slopes gently from the sand, it’s a great location to relax beside the Pacific Ocean.
