Costa Rica for Families

Outdoor adventures abound for active families in this tropical wonderland

If you’re seeking an active family holiday of natural wonders and vanilla sand beaches we recommend Costa Rica. Choose between Pacific and Caribbean beaches where turtles nest and the reefs abound with colourful fish. Rainforests cascade down mountainsides to the ocean.

This peaceful, compact country is awesomely bio-diverse. Since 1990 it has doubled the extent of its forests. Amazing animals and tropical birds are thriving. We’ll carefully select exclusive lodges where your family can enjoy a lifetime’s adventure.

Costa Rica is a place your family will fall in love with. It’s astonishingly beautiful, friendly and teeming with wildlife. Costa Ricans are serious about looking after their natural wonders. Forests covered 21% of the country in 1987 – now it’s 75%. Your family can help by making Costa Rica your next holiday destination.
 
Costa Rica’s a great place to take a holiday at any time of year. Your family can zipline through the rainforest canopy, mountain bike the slopes of an active volcano. There are hundreds of miles of natural coastline to surf, snorkel and soak up the sun. The superb beach lodges that we recommend are surrounded by natural forest, adding to the beauty and interest. Call us and we’ll craft a perfect holiday for your family.

Highlights:
Adrenaline Junkies' Paradise

Costa Rica is the eco-tourism capital of Latin America; it’s also the region’s adventure hub. Whether you get your adrenaline kick from summiting mountains, flying along zip lines through the rainforest, or white water rafting and kayaking, the family friendly activities are a thrill a minute.

Highlights:
Eco & Luxury Hotels

Eco friendly doesn’t have to mean basic: in Costa Rica, you can surround yourself in sublime luxury and still be caring for the planet! We actively partner with superior lodges and camps with strong eco credentials and that work closely with local communities.

Highlights:
Turtles and Tortuguero

Most small children go through a phase obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This may spark a lifelong interest in these curious reptiles; we think that they (and the entire family) will love seeing the real life turtle even more than their cartoon counterparts.

Highlights:
Beach Activities

Costa Rica is tucked between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean, which gives it nearly 800 miles of coastline and 300 white sandy beaches. With family, there’s only so much sunbathing and reading in a hammock you can do, but thankfully there are plenty of beach activities, too.

Highlights:
Cloud Forests

Costa Rica is one of the most varied places in the world, and within it, the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is an incredibly peculiar ecosystem. The wind sculpted rainforest with its mountain peak backdrop is the perfect setting for a family adventure.

Top Places to Stay:
Pacuare Lodge

Pacuare Lodge, nestled on the banks of the Pacuare River in eastern Costa Rica, is completely blanketed by the rainforest. You are in the wilderness, with exotic birds squawking in the trees, but sacrifice nothing in terms of comfort or luxury.

Top Places to Stay:
Tortuga Lodge

Tortuga Lodge and Gardens is a tranquil, laid back hotel which champions rustic elegance. Tortuguero translates as “land of the turtles”, and indeed it’s the combination of conservation, fabulous beaches, and comfort which makes this such a superb place to stay.

Top Places to Stay:
Hotel Belmar

Deep in the hills of Costa Rica’s Monteverde reserve is Hotel Belmar, a collection of wooden chalets with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. It’s a unique, family run property with an excellent range of activities in a truly idyllic location.
