    Day 1: Liberia Canton, Costa Rica

    Fly into Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR), also known as Liberia International Airport, and take a complimentary shuttle to the first hotel, Hilton Garden Inn Liberia Airport. The rest of the day is set aside for relaxation.

    Day 2: Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica

    Next, the group heads to Arenal Volcano National Park, where you can go whitewater rafting on the Balsa River (via Wave Expeditions) before checking in for a relaxing night at Baldi Hot Springs Hotel Resort and Spa.

    Day 3: Rincon de la Vieja, Costa Rica

    Next up is Rincon de la Vieja National Park, where you'll have access to numerous activities, such as ziplining, a waterfall visit, horseback riding, a canopy tour, and soaking in a volcanic mud bath. Lunch is included. That evening, retire to your room at the Hotel Borinquen.

    Day 4: Granada, Nicaragua

    Drive to the city of Granada for a boat tour of small islands along the Asese Peninsula. Keep your eyes peeled for herons, parrots, and other native birds. Back on dry land, you'll return to Granada, where you can visit the convent of San Francisco, a cigar factory, or a main street full of restaurants, before spending the night at Hotel Colonial.

    Day 5: Masaya and San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

    In the morning, visit La Merced Church before heading to Masaya Volcano and visiting Catarina, an artisan market town that overlooks the Laguna de Apoyo. Then it's off to San Juan del Sur, a beach town popular with surfers, for a quick lunch before making your way back to Costa Rica. You’ll spend the night (and the remainder of the trip) at Hotel Villas Playa Samara, located just steps from a white sand beach.

    Days 6–7: Samara, Costa Rica

    Hotel Villas Playa Samara's whitewashed cottages hug a horseshoe-shaped bay renowned for calm waters that are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. About a mile offshore lies a deserted island called Isla Chora, which you can visit via kayak. Expect to find crystal-clear water and a pink beach full of hermit crabs and iguanas.

This was the MOST amazing trip. I was a little skeptical at first because it seemed way too easy and seemed like too good of a deal but it was basically perfect. Our guide Kattia was THE BEST! She was knowledgeable, funny and kind and our driver, Eric, made us feel so safe and secure and went above and beyond ❤ We were lucky enough to have a small group and everyone was fantastic.

I bought 2 of these Groupons for my family of 5 to use. One thing of note, adding an additional child to a room is not $599, it was more like $799 so if that matters, confirm with the company before purchasing. I was able to contact the company before purchasing to ensure that we would be able to use the Groupon on the dates we needed. Daniel was VERY helpful. The trip was AMAZING. I purchased it thinking, well, it's with my kids. They won't know if we are staying in nice places or not. It exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The first day is absolutely PERFECT. My one piece of advice is to dress with leggings/jeans on and a bathing suit under your clothes for that first day. It says you will get to change, but they cannot promise that. We packed a bag thinking we would change between activities and the guide was a little miffed at us for "not being ready." Take something dry to change into if you want, but wear the suit to start off with (and leggings/pants for horseback- you will enjoy it more if you do that). Almost all the accommodations were lovely. The Hacienda after the first day was very......rustic.....and definitely the least luxurious of all places, but it is a working farm and it was fine. The grounds were amazing to wander and the hot springs were so cool!!!! The other places (in monteverde and samara) were gorgeous. So much is included- breakfast every day was good. Many lunches. You could not book all of this on your own and pull it off for this price. Jesus, our photographer, was absolutely a bright spot of the trip. I cannot recommend this trip enough. I was VERY pleasantly surprised by the accomodations and the amount that was included.
