Costa Rica

Feb 10 - Feb 16, 2026
Wow! What an incredible adventure into the rainforest and beautiful Pacific coast. Holden planned our trip with so many amazing experiences: Safari float down a river in the rainforest, night hike to see cool frogs, the most unusual snakes and a sloth, a cooking class, a hike in the Arenal Volcano area and hike through the Hanging Bridges. Our guide from Serendipity was a local named Mariono. He was amazing! Shared so much of what we were seeing on our hikes, the history, culture and so much fun. The logistics were smooth with no problems. What a great way to see a country and experience its treasures without wasting time on logistics of where to go or where to have dinner. Our hotels were fantastic. The Arenal Manoa Hotel hot spring pools were beautiful and fun to relax in. The lushness of the vegetation around our rooms were also unique and cozy. The Bosque del Mar hotel at Playa Hermosa was beautiful and right on the beach. Our drivers got us everywhere we needed to be on time. I am so impressed with the trip this team put together for us! Thank you!!!!
Hotel Reviews
Beautiful trail by pool with hot springs. Lovely breakfast spot overlooking the Arenal Volcano. We loved the location and pool areas were lovely. Great pizza!
Most beautiful view of the beach from open-air breakfast area. Quiet beach - much better than the beach in Coco. Rooms were large with a nice sitting area overlooking the pool.
Activity Reviews
Really nice hike and learning about the area. Wish the rain would have given us a break so we could have seen the whole volcano, but still worth doing in the rain.
The two women who lead the tour of the farm were knowledgeable and passionate about organic farming.
We got to see a monkey, sloth, toucan and caymen (alligators). Beautiful to see the scenery on the water. Mariono was a great guide.
I was not sure what to expect, but this was way cooler than I was expecting. Our guide, JP, was amazing. I am not sure how he found all of those small frogs, snakes and spiders.
One of my favorite tours in the Arenal area. Just beautiful to walk among the canopy on solid ground or on the bridges. Mariano shared many details of what we were seeing. I have a fear of heights, but did not feel scared on the bridges as there is a railing to hold onto.
It was a three hour drive and our driver shared many stories about what we were seeing. It seemed more like a necessary drive with good information versus a tour. Mariano selected a beautiful spot for lunch for us by a river.
Beautiful trip on a sailing ship to a snorkeling area, beach and water caves.
