Itinerary
San Jose San Jose
Fly to San José
The group flight usually arrives into San Jose this evening. Land Only clients should aim to arrive at the hotel by 5pm so that you can meet your fellow travellers and tour leader, who will give you a warm welcome to Costa Rica. If you miss today’s welcome briefing, the tour leader will give you all relevant information on the afternoon of Day 2.
Accommodation: Presidente Hotel or Delta by Marriott Aurola (or similar)
Start San José
A free transfer takes you to our hotel in San José, the busy capital of Costa Rica. Check in and take it easy, there’s plenty of excitement on this trip, so today’s all about relaxing and easing ourselves into the adventure. To help, there is a welcome briefing at the hotel in the evening (aim to arrive at the hotel by 5 pm), in which we gather as a group for the first time and meet our guide. If you miss today’s welcome briefing, the tour leader will give you all relevant information on the afternoon of Day 2.
Accommodation: Presidente Hotel or Delta by Marriott Aurola (or similar)
To Tortuguero National Park
Our adventure begins early this morning, leaving San José as we travel to the northeast of Costa Rica to Tortuguero National Park. Accessible only by boat or light aircraft, Tortuguero has a vast network of waterways, canals and swamps that is remarkably tranquil, unspoilt and devoid of noise pollution. On reaching the pier, we board a small motorboat for the journey to our lodge (up to 1hr 30min) , which is a short distance from the main lagoon. Please note the transfer from San José to Tortuguero is not private for Exodus clients. Our afternoon is spent in Tortuguero village, where it’s possible to visit the Sea Turtle Museum (a donation will be requested at the entrance).
Tortuguero is probably most famous as a nesting site for the endangered green turtle, which arrives onto the beach to lay eggs from late July to October (witness it as part of an optional excursion). Hawksbill, loggerhead and giant leatherback turtles also nest in this region. During November to January, baby turtles hatch and make their way towards the ocean. Today’s travel time will be in the region of six hours including a break for breakfast.
Accommodation: Laguna Lodge (or similar)
Boat tour around Tortuguero waterways
A morning boat trip enables us to discover the extraordinary flora and fauna of Tortuguero, passing serenely along the waterways. At this time of day, wildlife is usually at its most active, and with the help of our expert guide we are likely to encounter monkeys, caimans, iguanas, butterflies and many of the 300-plus bird species recorded here. We return to the lodge for a hearty riverside breakfast. The lodge is a tranquil spot to relax this afternoon if you want to take time out to enjoy the facilities, or you can join a second boat trip or follow a short walking trail through the forest.
Accommodation: Laguna Lodge (or similar)
To La Fortuna, near Arenal Volcano
We leave Tortuguero the same way we arrived by taking a small boat to the pier. Our bus will be at the pier waiting to drive us to the Arenal region, passing huge banana, pineapple and sugarcane plantations on the way. Arenal was the most active volcano in Costa Rica until fairly recently when it entered a resting phase, and can no longer be seen spitting ash, smoke or lava. However, there is still a lot of geothermal activity in the area and you have the opportunity to visit one of the excellent hot springs this evening. In clear weather, there are great views of the volcano from our overnight base in the nearby town of La Fortuna. Today’s travelling time is around 5hr 30min including a lunch stop.
Accommodation: Arenal Montechiari or Eco Arenal (or similar)
Visit Arenal Volcano; La Fortuna Waterfall hike
This morning we take a short scenic hike within Arenal National Park, walking through secondary rainforest and seeing some of the lava fields from past eruptions. The high vantage points on this walk allow great views overlooking Lake Arenal, and the birdlife is plentiful.
Waterfalls are abundant in the region of Arenal and we visit La Fortuna, a 213ft (65m) cascade plunging into an emerald pool. A short trail through the rainforest brings us to a relatively steep set of steps that we must descend to reach the waterfall and then ascend to the exit – the hike/climb takes around 20-30 minutes and is within the capabilities of anyone with reasonable fitness. Reward your efforts with a cooling dip in one of the natural pools punctuating the foliage. Alternatively, you could visit the lookout point and wait for the group.
After lunch, the rest of day is at leisure to enjoy optional activities such as a chocolate tour or the exhilarating Ecoglide Zipline.
Accommodation: Arenal Montechiari or Eco Arenal (or similar)
To Monteverde in the Tilaran Mountains
From Arenal, we travel to the Tilaran Mountain Range in the central highlands for our first taste of a Costa Rican cloud forest. The journey provides breathtaking views of the Gulf of Nicoya and the islands below as we ascend the hills towards Monteverde, a forest-cloaked region whose name literally means Green Mountain. The high altitude supports a complex ecosystem where plants thrive, particularly orchids of which there are more than 400 varieties here. Today’s drive is around four hours — the last 25mi (40km) of road is gravel and can be bumpy, particularly following heavy rain.
Accommodation: Montaña Monteverde or Monteverde Country Lodge (or similar)
Visit Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve
This morning, we have a guided walk in Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve, one of the first community-managed reserves in Costa Rica and an area celebrated for its biodiversity. To this day, the reserve is managed by the Santa Elena High School with funds channelled into protecting the reserve and providing environmental education classes within the community.
Thanks to its high elevation, Santa Elena is bathed in thick misty clouds, which support a huge range of flowers, ferns, mosses, vines and orchids. Birdlife thrives in the cloud forest with more 425 species recorded here. Santa Elena is also one of the best places to spot noisy howler monkeys swinging through the trees.
In the afternoon, it’s possible to join an optional coffee tour to learn about the importance of this crop to the socio-economic development of the country or join a canopy tour to get a different view of the forest.
Accommodation: Montaña Monteverde or Monteverde Country Lodge (or similar)
To Manuel Antonio
Our journey takes a southeasterly turn today as we follow the Pan-Am Highway along the coastline to Manuel Antonio, passing African oil palm and teak plantations on the way. Manuel Antonio National Park consists of a vast marine reserve as well as 1,700 acres (690ha) of mangrove swamp, primary and secondary rainforest. The forest vegetation stretches as far as the high-tide line and provides a stunning backdrop to the expansive sandy beaches, forested islands and dramatic rocky headlands. Our drive to Manuel Antonio takes around four hours (not including rest stops and lunch).We settle into our accommodation and, depending on our arrival time, can make use of the hotel’s facilities.
Accommodation: Villa Bosque Hotel, Villas Lirio or San Bada Hotel (or similar)
Discover Manuel Antonio National Park
A guided tour of Manuel Antonio National Park this morning should enable us to have close wildlife encounters. White-faced capuchin monkeys play in the trees and are frequently sighted on the beaches, while noisy howler monkeys are usually heard moving through the trees and calling to each other before they are seen. The endangered titi monkey (squirrel monkey) is fewer in number but can sometimes be spotted in this area. Iguanas, agouti and two- and three-toed sloths are also commonly sighted in the national park. Manuel Antonio’s beaches rank among the most beautiful in the country and we have all afternoon to enjoy them or try one of the optional activities in this region.
Please note, Manuel Antonio National Park is closed on Tuesdays. If your visit falls on a Tuesday, the timing of this activity will be adjusted so you visit the park on the previous day and today will be at leisure to enjoy the many optional excursions of the region.
Accommodation: Villa Bosque Hotel, Villas Lirio or San Bada Hotel (or similar)
To Dominical beach
We transfer south to visit the enchanting Dominical beach, a favourite destination for surfing, stunning sunsets, incredible wildlife and green landscapes. After settling into our hotel, we visit one of the beautiful lookout points in this area. This lookout point is located on a forested mountainside that overlooks the coastal plains of Uvita, surrounded by a lush rainforest that is home to a variety of wildlife. Relax and enjoy a tropical drink while you see the beautiful view of the forest around you, the Marino Ballena National Park from above and during low tide the famous Whale´s Tail.
Accommodation: Villas Rio Mar or Cuna del Angel (or similar)
Marino Ballena National Park
We spend the morning at Marino Ballena National Park, where we enjoy a walk through this natural conservation area.
Along our route, we have the chance of seeing howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, sloths, bats, raccoons, birds (including scarlet macaws) and other wildlife. Plants and trees, including the wonderful mangrove tree, are also part of the trail. Also here is Tombolo (known locally as the Whale’s Tail), a well-known natural barrier reef that looks just like a whale’s tail when viewed from above.
In the afternoon, we return to the hotel where there is time to enjoy the facilities, visit the beach or join an optional activity such as a whale and dolphin tour.
Accommodation: Villas Rio Mar or Cuna del Angel (or similar)
To Savegre Valley Cloud Forest
Our journey takes a northwesterly turn through San Isidro and up and over the Cerro de la Muerte mountain range to our next destination, the Savegre Valley, around a 4hr 30min drive from Golfito (not including stops). The cloud forest of Savegre is said to be one of the best places in Costa Rica to see the beautiful, colourful and notoriously shy resplendent quetzal and we have two nights here to discover the region. These endangered birds rely on the cloud forest for their habitat — the males in particular are striking with a green crest, red breast and tail feathers that can reach a metre long. A good pair of binoculars will be helpful for quetzal spotting as these birds camouflage themselves well among the wet leaves of the forest. In the afternoon, we take a short walk from our lodge into the cloud forest.
Accommodation: Savegre Hotel & Spa, Trogon Lodge or Suria Lodge (or similar)
Free day to discover walking trails in Savegre Valley
Today is free to relax and explore Savegre Valley. Bring your binoculars to spot some of the 170 bird species, trek through the tropical cloud forest or simply enjoy the incredible view from the lodge. Your leader will suggest walks for today so you can discover the tropical cloud forest and sub-Andean vegetation of the area.
Accommodation: Savegre Hotel Nature Reserve & Spa, Trogon Lodge or Suria Lodge (or similar)
Visit the Copey valley; to San José
Visit the Copey valley this morning to step momentarily into the agricultural lives of those living in the highlands of the Central Mountain Range. We take a short walk through this picturesque area stopping for snacks prepared for us by a local family, which is sure to be a memorable touch of Costa Rican hospitality. A 2hr 30min journey takes us back to San José, where there is time to explore the modern capital.
Accommodation: Presidente Hotel or Delta by Marriott Aurola (or similar)
Depart San Jose.
The trip comes to an end today after breakfast, and it’s time to bid Costa Rica and the rest of the group goodbye. Free transfers to San Jose airport are available to all clients today.
End San José
A final breakfast at the hotel is your chance to say goodbye to the group, swap numbers, and perhaps start planning your next adventure.
Alternatively, extend your adventure with a stay at the Punta Leona Beach Club in Jacó, where you can relax on one of two white-sand beaches, treat yourself to some spa time, or join an educational tour through their protected nature reserve, which is home to more than 200 bird species, including toucans, owls and flycatchers. To make things extra relaxing, your booking includes a transfer to the hotel and another at the end of your stay to San José Airport. Speak to your sales representative to book.

Post-trip Extensions
Punta Leona Beach Club & Nature Resort
Extend your adventure with post-tour nights at Punta Leona, which is equal measures beach retreat and nature resort. When it comes to relaxing, there are two white-sand beaches (which are surprisingly hard to find in Costa Rica), swimming pools and a natural spa, plus plenty of sports options, including tennis, volleyball and mini golf. There’s also a great choice of dining options, from a buffet serving local and international dishes, to a Japanese-Latin American sushi restaurant and a beach bar at Playa Blanca.
When you’re ready to explore the natural world, there are monkeys roaming the grounds, sloths lazing in the trees, a butterfly garden, and free guided walks around the 40 acre (15ha) nature reserve, home to toucans, flycatchers, hummingbirds and plenty of amphibians and reptiles.
The resort itself is well secluded, hidden at the end of a 3mi (5km) road through the forest, while the closest town (Jacó) is about a 30-minute drive away. Regular shuttles take you on the 10 to 15-minute ride from your bungalow to the beaches.
We can also book a private transfer at the end of your tour to Punta Leona, plus another private transfer to San José Airport, which is just 1hr 30min away. How long you stay is up to you. Just speak to your sales representative to book.
Well-located hotels and lodges
We spend 14 nights in hotels and lodges, most of which have swimming pools. The accommodations were chosen for their location (typically lodges in tropical gardens or in the heart of the rainforest) and we have been careful to avoid chain hotels where possible.
The day-to-day itinerary details the properties typically used; however, below are a few of the notable hotels on this trip.
Tortuguero: Laguna Lodge (nights 2-3)
Constructed on a strip of land between the main lagoon and Caribbean Sea, Laguna Lodge is an away-from-it-all place to stay that’s ideal for disconnecting. There’s no road access, so we get there by boat, while the estate itself combines several wooden lodges within beautifully kept gardens. Look out for the freely roaming sloths and monkeys! There’s also a restaurant with river views and a bar on the water’s edge.
Savegre: Savegre Hotel & Spa (nights 12-13)
In the middle of a natural forest reserve, Savegre Hotel is the ideal place to immerse in nature. It has plant-filled gardens, multiple walking trails, and a lookout point with views over forested slopes. We sleep in wooden lodges, while Las Bromelias restaurant dishes out international and local cuisines (made with seasonal, indigenous produce) and Los Robles, a bar-lounge, serves cocktails and Savegre coffee.
Dominical: Villas Rio Mar or Cuna del Angel
In Dominical, we stay in either Villas Rio Mar (above) or Cuna del Angel, depending on availability. The former has a large palm tree-wrapped swimming pool, tropical gardens, and a rainforest trail to explore, plus Playa Dominical beach is just a 10-minute walk away. The latter also has a pool, plus there’s a restaurant with treetop views and a bar serving cocktails and more.
Worth knowing
- Some of the properties have ceiling fans rather than air conditioning.

Good experience despite the weather that forced us to miss a few highlights.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the countryside.
Thoughts on Group Leader
David was exceptional, very knowledgeable & helpful.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for bad weather. Busy itinerary with lots to experience
amazing, stunning and just so much to absorb
So much to see and senses were bombarded
Most Inspirational Moment
There was so many but I liked Tortuguero - i felt my senses were bombarded. There was so many animal sounds, so much to look at with the sights and smells and then the feeling of it all. From being on the water looking at the birds and wildlife to feeling the humidity it was amazing.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Randall was oustanding.He was the ultimate professions and delivered his knowledge and insight very effectively. He shared information on the wildlife, flora and fauna as well as information on Costa Rica's social, historical and education systems. His answers were always articulate, well explained, patiently delivered and never too much effort. He was clearly liked and respected by hotel staff and locals wherever we went which was lovely to see. He made our trip truly memorable and nothing short of outstanding. (Oh and he solved my problem efficiently and effectively when I left my passport and other items in a hotel safe that we'd checked out of around 90 mins before!)
Advice for Potential Travellers
Moving on so regularly takes a bit of planning in terms of luggage and packing. Whilst my suitcase was big enough for the stuff I was taking (around 16kg inc case), a slightly bigger one would have been advantageous for packing up and moving on and made things a bit easier.
Amazing variety of habitat
We hadn’t realised the incredible variety of habitats within Costa Rica, and this trip allowed us to sample them with Johnny, our superb tour leader.
Hotels were all good and some were exceptional, particularly Cuna del Angel, where the views from the restaurant were wonderful, and the Savegre Hotel, where the grounds were beautiful. The pace of the trip was good, it was nice to have 2 nights in each hotel.
We enjoyed seeing sloths, monkeys, crocodiles and hundreds of birds. The weather was very hot in some places, but the walking was never too fast paced. The cultural experience at the farm was lovely.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing quetzals in the grounds of the Savegre Hotel, and then again on a wildlife walk the next day
Thoughts on Group Leader
Johnny's enthusiasm for his country and its conservation was infectious and we learned an extraordinary amount. Johnny is an expert bird and wildlife spotter and was kind and considerate to every member of our group. The places he chose to eat were great and the early morning walks were lovely. We couldn't have had a better leader!
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you go to the Savegre Hotel, take advantage of their hide in the gardens, we spent a couple of hours engrossed in watching the hummingbirds - magical
A memorable trip with a lovely group!
A thoroughly enjoyable tour which enabled us to experience the different regions of this beautiful country together with its amazing and varied wildlife.
Everything ran smoothly and the (many!) early starts were a great idea meaning that we could visit places whilst they were still quiet and uncrowded.
Our driver, Randall, was extremely friendly, helpful and skilful in his role – a great asset to the trip overall.
Most Inspirational Moment
Many moments…..! Exploring the quiet waterways of Tortuguero. Early morning swimming in the pool of the waterfall at La Fortuna. Seeing the cloud formations at the Continental Divide. Walking/swimming at the deserted beaches of Manuel Antonio NP. Experiencing the relative isolation of the Savegre valley….and more!!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Andres was an exceptional group leader - the best mix of educator and entertainer. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about flora and fauna and we learned so much about the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica. He also kept us interested and amused with information about culture, politics, education and more personal tales, when his sense of humour shone through. He was very concerned for our safety and well being, making sure we were always aware of any potential dangers/problems.
Advice for Potential Travellers
As advised in the notes, pack for a variety of weathers. We were lucky and had mostly lovely warm/hot weather but also a few cooler days with the inevitable rain when waterproofs were useful. There are a couple of opportunities for doing laundry as items do take a long time to dry.
A brilliant adventure
The trip was very enjoyable. The only blip was our stay at the hotel in Monteverde…amazing views but the rooms left a lot to be desired, would not recommend. We had good food everywhere, but perhaps felt that rather than have the same menu every evening at the all inclusive hotels (except at Tortuguero) we could have gone somewhere different for dinner. All the other hotels were lovely.
excellent, we shall certainly travel again with Exodus.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too many to single one out!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Andres exceeded all expectations. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of Costa Rica. He was patient, empathetic and wanted us to experience as much as possible in the two weeks visit. He had a great sense if humour and spoke excellent English.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be careful, easy to overeat! Three courses at lunch and dinner was too much!
Costa Rica
Excellent tour. Well planned. Excellent guide and driver. Hotels ranged from adequate to very good. Food very good.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walks in rainforests.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent. Very knowledgeable, hard working and caring
Advice for Potential Travellers
Very warm. Sun tan lotion, insect repellent and binoculars essential. Think carefully about clothing and footwear for daytime and evenings.
Reply from Exodus
We’re delighted to read that John had such a great time in Costa Rica, but did want to acknowledge his comment about having shirts stolen from his suitcase, possibly at one of the lodges on this trip. This was raised with John’s tour leader during the holiday and the management of both properties John mentions were contacted, but had no success in finding the missing shirts. We’ve used the Laguna Lodge and the Hotel Eco Arenal for some time now and have never had customers face any issues to do with theft. While we can’t pinpoint exactly what happened to John’s shirts, we do apologise that they went missing on the trip.
– The Exodus Travels Team
My favourite trip!
Costa Rica is incredible and made more so with our guide Johnny.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing a sloth
Thoughts on Group Leader
Johnny was the best guide I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgable.
Costa Rica
We enjoyed our tour very much. Pick up from the airport was a little chaotic as a lot of flights had been altered due to strikes and we didn’t seem to be on any of the reps lists. Other arrangements went well. Saw a lot of the country in a short time and the programme had been well thought out.
Some of the accommodation in the early part of the trip was very dated and needed some serious reinvestment.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing so much wildlife and beautiful flora.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader David was excellent. Always willing to help and was very good at spotting all manner of wildlife especially birds. He went out of his way to put in extra activities and it was really appreciated by all the group.
Not sure what 'review title' means!
The trip fully met my expectations. It was a full on experience involving (voluntary) frequently pre-dawn early morning bird watching walks; seeing some amazing natural sites (waterfalls, (dormant) volcanoes; Pacific and Caribbean beaches – where swimming was possible, bird and animal watching close up – the fauna seemed a lot less afraid of mankind, and as a result good views were easier. The guide was more than capable of giving us a full-on Costa Rica experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
Fulfilling a dream of getting to Costa Rica to experience a truly different natural environment; getting up close to the wildlife, whether it be birds or animals; swimming in the Pacific - a truly warming experience.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I think that we were lucky to have Andres Herrara as our guide. I addition to his years of experience we benefitted from his knowledge and expertise on his personal subject (the botany of Costa Rica); his incredible knowledge of the birds and animals that we saw (or were helped to see) and his enthusiasm for Costa Rica's history and it current affairs.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do not overpack. British Airways gives the option of hold luggage and two items of cabin luggage (small case and ruck sack). I would have coped better with a larger suitcase and a back pack. What I had was cumbersome, particularly in transit by plane. Given the time of year (February) and the weather (almost universally good) I think that pair of strong walking shoes would have sufficed. I took strong walking shoes and walking boots, and the latter were hardly used - see above re packing / weight).
Exceeded expectations
We loved our trip to Costa Rica. Organisation was great and saw everything on our list and more.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing sloths close up
