The guide was amazing, the food and hotel were really good. I was expecting to hike in the forest and mountains but it was more of a bird watching tour. So it was zero walking and lots and lots of bird watching standing still for long periods of time. It was not what i was looking for.
Manuel Antonio
Adventure Holidays to Manuel Antonio National Park
Set on the Pacific coast, Manuel Antonio may be the smallest national park in Costa Rica, but it boasts some of the country’s best and most beautiful beaches.
The dry coastal rainforest comes right down to the Pacific Ocean and provides a home for white-faced and squirrel monkeys, iguanas, sloths and toucans, most of which can be readily spotted while walking along the sandy paths.

Benoit Pigeon Discover Costa Rica
Sarah Spicer Discover Costa RicaI did this trip in September 2025 and this is by far the best one I have done so far. This trip shows you how diverse the country is with its different ecosystems and wildlife. From the Caribbean coast over to the Pacific. Everywhere you look there is an abundance of wildlife from the colourful birds and larger mammals/primates right down to the tiny frogs and leaf cutter ants.
Nicole Twomey Discover Costa RicaTwo weeks in Costa Rica getting to explore the country’s most beautiful and diverse sites was one of the most incredible adventures I have been on. The fact that all places are so unique and diverse from one another and getting to see incredible wildlife throughout the trip was fantastic.
