Adventure Tours in Costa Rica’s Jungles, Cloud Forests, and Beaches

On this eight-day, seven-night adventure trip from Costa Rica Monkey Tours, you’ll get to experience the full range of Costa Rica’s biodiversity, from beach to jungle.

Day 1:

You’ll arrive at 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 open for relaxation.

Day 2:

After breakfast, you’ll check in at the next hotel, Hacienda Guachipelin, and then depart for a full day of adventure tours. Highlights include a waterfall and canyon tour, a tubing adventure on the Rio Negro, a horseback ride, and a visit to hot springs.

Day 3:

The day begins with breakfast at Hacienda Guachipelin, and then it’s on to your next stop: El Establo, located on a scenic overlook in the Monteverde cloud forest. Later in the day, you’ll depart for a trip across the suspension bridges that make up Sky Walk and ride the Sky Tram deep into the tropical rainforest. From the open gondola, you’ll be in a great position to spot tropical birds, and, if you’re lucky, jaguars and ocelots.

Day 4:

Mid-morning, you’ll set sail on a river tour through Palo Verde National Park, where you can expect to see crocodiles and howler monkeys. This remote network of mangrove swamps is a haven for birds, including storks, egrets, and spoonbills. Then you’ll visit Guaitil, a small town where residents have been making pottery using the same techniques for more than 5,000 years.

You’ll spend the night (and the remainder of the trip) at Hotel Villas Playa Samara, located just steps from a gorgeous white-sand beach.

Days 5–8:

The hotel’s whitewashed cottages hug a horseshoe-shaped bay renowned for its calm waters, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the area, including its discotheque and many restaurants. About a mile offshore lies a deserted wooded island called Isla Chora. You can explore the island on the included kayak tour. Expect to find crystal-clear water and a pink beach full of hermit crabs and iguanas.

The Hotel Playa Samara was lacking. The setting was nice, but not having towel service for 3 days was a real problem especially given how humid it is. Also, we had to use all of our towels to dry up the bathroom floor because there are no shower curtains! In addition, the staff didn't seem to care about the guests needs and never responded to our problems even when they said they would. The inclusion of Nicaragua on the new tour was nice but I think that the amount of time spent in the bus needs to be clearer from the start. Our tour (Nov 19th) schedule was changed around and I think that we missed things that were included on the original itinerary as a result. This was disappointing.

The tour was great. The trip to Nicaragua is pretty long and some additional activities in Costa Rica could probably be substituted for this portion, so you don't spend so much time crossing the border, etc.

First few days were wonderful and fun, but last days slow, needed some scheduled activities included into the package price. Last hotel needed a shuttle, phone in room for emergency or for a wake up call---TV would be nice too. The Escalon Hotel was amazing---better if we could have stayed there an additional day. Staff was great, food was good and overall I truly enjoyed this trip.

Pictures are over priced and certainly not worth the money, poor quality.
