This was a great adventure. I celebrated my birthday by taking my grandsons to Costa Rica. Our trip went smoothly and incorporated the sites we wanted to see. There were also surprise experiences for the kids- Tarzan swings, zip lines, waterfalls, rafting trips. The guides, drivers, and planners made this a worry-free trip where I could concentrate on having a wonderful experience with the kids.

Essential Information for your Private Tour of Costa Rica
There’s an endless list of things to doduring your guided tours of Costa Rica. Hike around Arenal Volcano, soak in the nearby hot springs, and enjoy a horseback ride to La Fortuna Waterfall. Explore Monteverde’s misty cloud forest, experience tropical beaches in Tortuguero, of course, and don’t forget a coffee tour for a taste of Costa Rica’s rich culture.
Thebest time for guided Costa Rica tours is during the dry season, from December to April, with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 95°F (21°C to 35°C) and little to no rainfall. If you prefer fewer crowds, the green season, from May to November, offers lush landscapes and active wildlife, but you’ll have to contend with the occasional rain.
A 7 to 10-day trip is perfect for exploring the country’s top highlights on a guided Costa Rica vacation. However, we recommend 12 to 16 days, as this timeframe allows you to fully immerse yourself in the country’s natural beauty, colonial history, and wildlife. Find more tips in our Costa Rica travel guide.
