Serendipity Adventures
Serendipity Adventures was founded in Michigan, USA, 30 years ago and since then we have been dedicated to designing and operating private vacations in Costa Rica. For the last two decades, trip planning, sales, administration, as well as operations, have been run from our main office in Turrialba, Costa Rica.
Serendipity´s core product is our Premium Vacations. These unique trips include adventures that are operated in private mode directly by Serendipity, such as white water rafting, canyoning, mountain biking, hiking, tree climbing, horseback riding, nature floats, and more. On a premium trip, your family or your small self-formed group will enjoy a dedicated professional guide and transportation in 4 WD vehicles that allow us to go off the beaten path.
We also design independent trips in a very personalized way, applying all our knowledge and expertise while carefully planning your itinerary around your specific goals, needs, and preferences. Then, when the time comes to enjoy your Costa Rica vacation, we'll stay on top of all reservations, and we're always just a phone call away if you need any assistance along the way.
Planning a Costa Rica vacation can be difficult and time-consuming if you try to do all the research by yourself. We at Serendipity are dedicated to making it an easy process, and to making sure any plan is tailored to your specific preferences.

We had the trip of a lifetime in Costa Rica! I love to see new places but I think we will return to Costa Rica again because there was so much to do and see. Holden was amazing at planning the trip for us and listened to my wants and put together the perfect trip. Wilman with Serendipity Adventures was so helpful while we were there! Figuring out adjustments to the plans that I would throw at him. They were both so knowledgeable and helpful!

Thank you Molly for recognizing the efforts of my coworkers. I'm glad you had a great family experience in Costa Rica. We look forward to your next visit!
Thank you

We very much enjoyed the Arenal Moana and the Koora Hotel in Monteverde. The river rafting trip in La Fortuna was the favorite activity of all three generations in our group.
Thanks Holden and Serendipity! Read more
