Costa Rica adventure holidays put you in the heart of one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. Active volcanoes, rainforest, rivers and coastline sit close together, making it possible to build a journey that includes hiking, river activities and coastal exploration without constant travel or long transfers.
Days here can be spent hiking across old lava flows, paddling through jungle-backed waterways, moving through forest canopy on hanging bridges, or drifting along rivers that cut deep into primary rainforest. Along the coast, adventure focuses on the water, with kayaking, snorkelling and marine encounters taking place alongside beaches and headlands.
At Rainbow Tours, our tailor-made Costa Rica adventure holidays are planned by specialists with first-hand knowledge of the country. Their experience informs how activities are chosen and timed, taking account of conditions, wildlife presence and travel distances, so each part of your trip flows smoothly from one region to the next.
