Overview

Costa Rica Adventure All In One is an 8-day trip for travellers who would rather be active than idle. It starts in San Jose and works its way through Arenal, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio, with a hands-on activity waiting in each region.

Early in the trip, whitewater rafting on the Pacuare River leads into Arenal, where a hike in Arenal Volcano National Park follows. The journey then climbs to Monteverde for a private Sky Trek and tram ride above the cloud forest canopy, before descending to the Pacific coast and a day of coastal kayaking in Manuel Antonio.

Accommodation, arrival and departure transfers, local guides, meals as per the itinerary, park entrance and sightseeing fees and the transportation described are all part of the package, so the days stay focused on the adventure.
