    • Day 1: San José - Arrival

      Upon arrival in Costa Rica, check into Hotel Grano de Oro, an urban oasis in the heart of San José. Take to the city on foot to discover tree-lined boulevards and historic architecture, or kick back in the rooftop jacuzzi for some R&R before your adventure begins tomorrow.

    • Day 2: San José to Arenal - Lush jungle & volcanic vistas

      After breakfast, begin your adventure with a ride through the scenic countryside of Costa Rica. Check into Amor Arenal, a breathtaking property nestled in the shadow of the majestic Arenal Volcano, and spend the afternoon acquainting yourself with one of Costa Rica’s most awe-inspiring landscapes.

    • Day 3: Arenal - Rio Celeste hike

      Hike through dense forest in Tenorio Volcano National Park to Rio Celeste, a river colored brilliant turquoise by volcanic minerals in the water. Spot monkeys and toucans as you wind your way to the Celeste Waterfall – still one of the best-kept secrets in Costa Rica. Bring your camera!

    • Day 4: Arenal - Zip lines & natural hot springs

      Start your day with a bird’s eye view and an adrenaline rush on a zip line adventure through the forest canopy. This afternoon, head to Tabacón Hot Springs for dinner and an evening soak. Explore dozens of warm pools of varying sizes, temperatures and degrees of privacy, and let the sounds of cascading waterfalls lull you into deep relaxation.

    • Day 5: Arenal to Santa Teresa - Trade jungle for beach

      Head southwest for the quiet beachside town of Santa Teresa, arguably one of the most romantic locations in Costa Rica. Check in to your luxurious villa at Nantipa, and spend the afternoon exploring the beach, on the terrace, or in your private plunge pool.

    • Day 6: Santa Teresa - Wild waterfalls & hidden beaches by ATV

      Strap in for a day free to explore one of the most rugged and remote coastlines in Costa Rica. Cruise east to discover jungle waterfalls and the vibrant little hippie town of Montezuma, then spend the rest of your afternoon laid out on the powdery white sand of Playa Suecos or Secret Beach.

    • Beach time & ocean views from your private plunge pool - Days 7 & 8: Santa Teresa

      Spend the rest of your time in Santa Teresa how you wish, whether at the beach, hiking rainforested trails, or beside your private plunge pool. For your last dinner in Costa Rica, dine on fresh local seafood at a private ocean-view table beneath the stars.

    • Day 9: Santa Teresa to San José - Departure

      After breakfast, transfer to Cobano airport, board a quick flight to San José and continue on your onward travels.
