Essential Information for your Private Tour of Costa Rica
There’s an endless list of things to do during 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.
The best 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.
