Discover the breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica’s wildest landscapes. On this covid-conscious holiday, you’ll stay in remote, scenic areas which boast an astounding variety of rare wildlife and tropical foliage.
Beginning in the lush countryside outside the capital San Jose, set off by road for a day of exploring a traditional coffee farm, a wildlife sanctuary and an imposing active volcano cloaked in clouds and mist. It’s then a short flight to the Tortuguero region on the sun-soaked Caribbean coast, where you may have the chance to witness sea turtles as they dig nests in the golden sands.
Finally you’ll unwind in pristine jungles fringed by wild beaches on the Osa Peninsula, home to many species of chattering monkeys and a kaleidoscopic array of birds.

What our clients say
97% of our clients rated their experience with us as Excellent or Good.
Taking an Amazonian cruise is the best way to visit the world's largest rainforest for those who might be nervous about night-time encounters with creepy crawlies or the jungle heat and humidity. Days are spent taking guided boat excursions into the forest on the look out for the fascinating and varied flora and fauna, so you see as much as from an eco-lodge. However, once back onboard you can retreat to the comforts of an air-conditioned cabin or enjoy an ice-cold beer on the breezy sundeck!
