Summary
This multi-sport trip is the perfect adventure week for you in Costa Rica. 7-days of adventure and nature tours: whitewater rafting, hiking in the Arenal Volcano and the Monteverde Cloud Forest, horseback riding, and zip-lining. Everything included in this program. This is an ideal program for young couples, groups of friends, adventure lovers, and active families traveling with teenagers.
This is one of our flexible tours, meaning you won't be with a set group and tour leader for the duration, instead, you will be met at your hotels by a driver and/or guide every step of the way, and will have the chance to meet new people on each daily tour or excursion. This gives you not only the flexibility of free time away from a set group, but also the opportunity to meet a new expert local guide at every step of your journey.
