Summary
Simply say “Costa Rica” and vivid images of paradise instantly flood the imagination. This eight-day tour makes those dreams a reality while letting you connect with the country’s charming people. Your spirits will be lifted with a visit to Mi Cafecito Community Coffee Plantation and a G for Good project supporting 200 local farmers, before carrying on to the outdoor utopia that is La Fortuna. There, you’ll be treated to a world of wellness, with yoga sessions overlooking the Arenal Volcano, hiking, free time for meditation, and a rejuvenating trip to thermal hot springs. Continue on to remote Rincón de la Vieja for more yoga and a therapeutic mud bath before a final stop in Playa Carrillo — home to a beach devoid of buildings, hotels, and restaurants that will give your mind a sense of clarity you may have previously thought impossible.

Customer reviews & ratings
Wonderful journey into Costa Rica. This trip truly bodies the wellness moniker. The trip was rejuvenating and fun. By the end of the trip, I learned to love yoga. The paddleboarding and surfing experiences were nice, but the two hot springs visits were the best!!!! Best trip I?ve taken with g adventures! The wellness trip would be an amazing trip for anyone looking for a relaxing but fascinating introduction to Costa Rica
Jay Sep, 2024 VerifiedThis trip was magical, transformative, a pure delight! I highly recommend it. A welcome respite from today's crazy world. Just the reset I didn't know I needed. The CEO,Sharon! & everything else; itinerary, accommodations, transportation, activities I would give it an 11 if that was an option!
