Top 5 activities in Costa Rica - our selection

5. Coffee tour at Aquiares coffee plantations

Extremely interesting and educational even for non-coffee drinkers to better understand the complexity of this great product and to experience it tactilely and taste-wise as well.

4. Beach & animals on the Caribbean coast

Nowhere did we see so many animals up close as at our hotel Awá Beach. Sloths, parrots, iguanas, or agoutis, all right next to you on the beach. Additionally, the completely untouched and less touristy beaches that invite you to dream.

3. Canopy (Flying Fox) in Monteverde

Wide selection of providers with really long "rides". We got the original Canopy Tour with rides of up to 800m in length, as well as Tarzan and rappelling.

2. Diving at Isla del Caño

Beautiful dive spots with a variety of large fish on site and on the way there. Stingrays, whitetip sharks, whales, turtles, schools of fish, and many more...

1. Hot Springs Resort Tabacon (Near La Fortuna)

Unique experience to bathe in hot volcanic springs and relax. Beautifully designed facility where you can also book dinner with admission, which we highly recommend as it is very good!
