Experience Overview

Simply say “Costa Rica” and vivid images of paradise instantly flood the imagination. This eight-day tour makes those dreams a reality while letting you connect with the country’s charming people. Your spirits will be lifted with a visit to Mi Cafecito Community Coffee Plantation and a G for Good project supporting 200 local farmers, before carrying on to the outdoor utopia that is La Fortuna. There, you’ll be treated to a world of wellness, with yoga sessions overlooking the Arenal Volcano, hiking, free time for meditation, and a rejuvenating trip to thermal hot springs. Continue on to remote Rincón de la Vieja for more yoga and a therapeutic mud bath before a final stop in Playa Carrillo — home to a beach devoid of buildings, hotels, and restaurants that will give your mind a sense of clarity you may have previously thought impossible.

Some people might want to have all activities arranged and paid for so they don't have to pay additional costs of meals and activities as well as the tips to the tour director, the drivers, etc.

The trip was amazing. I really felt it was a wellness tour. Relax on thermal baths, paddle on a Lake , yoga class and you don't have to be a yoga, really love it.

Andrew S.   -  Traveled, November 2023

This tour was slightly different than what I expected. For example, a lot of long days traveling by van and some of the scheduling required logistical changes for return flights. Not every traveler is this flexible. It was well-worth it for the experience though!

I had a blast and will highly recommend this to nearly everyone, but there are of course a few reasons why it wouldn't be the best choice for everyone, even if they want to do group travel.
