Whether you like adventure, spotting animals or relaxing on a beach, there is something for everyone in between! Below you will find the best activities at a glance..

What do they cost and how long do the activities last?
Because you can do some activities at multiple destinations, and we already give other activities away for free in our Travel Description, there are no prizes mentioned here. Weather conditions and seasons can also influence where and when you can best do a certain activity. Take into account you will spend around US$ 35 to 50 per person for guided hiking, boat and culture excursions. They last about 2 to 3 hours. Adrenaline activities such as Canopy, Rafting, Horse Riding and Tubing are more or less around US$ 50 and will take a little longer. There are also tours that take an extra long time and go up to US$ 75 such as whale watching or the even more expensive excursions in Corcovado. We will always propose an optional package to our client in advance, based on the indicated requirements. Examples of the free tours en route are: animal hotspots, nature parks, viewpoints, nice restaurants and swimming at a waterfall. Would you like to know more about the activities that are on your route or do you have another burning question? Contact us immediately and we will be happy to help you further.

Latest News: from 2020 a kind of VAT tax (called IVA) of 13% will be raised in Costa Rica. Please note that our prices for the (optional) excursion package include these taxes! You will never pay more for those activities in advance, than if you would pay on site.

Reliable contacts
Witropa Travel not only knows the nicest places in Costa Rica, but also has reliable contacts everywhere. Because we ourselves are located in Costa Rica, we can switch quickly, and arrange the right activities and locations with professional reliable Tour operators with fun and capable guides.

Witropa Travel carefully selects their accommodations. We offer a wide range in which nature is the central theme everywhere. We hardly work with typical ‘hotel rooms’. Where possible, we offer detached bungalows, houses or even special tree houses or tents. There is always at least 1 highlight, such as: beautiful views, close to a tropical beach, located on the edge of a nature park or in a flowering tropical garden. Privacy is also of paramount importance. Usually you will have a private terrace or balcony so you can optimally enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of your accommodation. The accommodations are also subdivided into standard or luxury rooms, so that you can spend the nights more comfortable if you like. Do you have questions or doubts? Please contact us to tell us your wishes or preferences. Below is an overview of what you can expect.

San José

At an altitude of 1170 meters, surrounded by coffee plantations, lies the cosmopolitan capital of Costa Rica, San José. With almost 340,000 inhabitants, San José is rightfully called the beating heart of Costa Rica!

Arenal

The Arenal National Park is home to the active volcano El Arenal of the same name. The park has a beautiful surrounding rainforest where you can take walks between wildlife, have amazing views on the volcano and walk over real lava rocks from earlier eruptions.

Tortuguero

The best kept “secret” of Costa Rica is the protected Tortuguero National Park. Tortuguero is one of the most important breeding grounds for the green sea turtle and has an enormous green park full of small rivers, canals and lagoons. In addition, no fewer than 400 bird species and 150 mammal species have been documented!

Sarapiqui

The city and municipality of Sarapiqui is located in the northeast of Costa Rica. It lies between two rivers that are perfect for rafting. The great biodiversity also makes this a true paradise for lovers of flora and fauna.

Puerto Viejo

Puerto Viejo is a true paradise for its wildlife, Jamaican subculture, its food and laid back atmosphere. The many coconut palm beaches make it complete to swim, surf or just doing nothing for a few days!

Rio Celeste

Located in the northwest of Costa Rica, Rio Celeste, an azure water source that is also called the hidden gem of Costa Rica, is the real attraction in this area!

Rincón de la Vieja

Rincon de la Vieja National Park is one of the best parks in Costa Rica. The active volcano allows you to bathe or swim in various hot springs. Also adrenaline junkies can enjoy themselves here, for example by “tubing” through the river!

Samara

Horse riding, snorkeling, boat excursions, mangrove tours, you will not get bored in this small beach paradise. You will not encounter many tourists here, so relaxing on your “own beach” under a palm tree is certainly another possibility!

Monteverde

Monteverde is a private reserve at an altitude of 1500-1850 meters with several cloud forests. The reserve even has a true “skywalk” of suspension bridges where you literally walk with your head in the clouds and can spot the most diverse flora & fauna.

Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio is the smallest national park in Costa Rica. However, nowhere else you can see so much wildlife in half a day. With beaches like “Playa Manuel Antonio” and more beaches close by plus cozy bars and restaurants, manual Antonio has lots to offer.

Corcovado

Corcovado is known for its unspoilt nature and is ideal for a tough walk. On Caño island you can snorkel and dive for dolphins and whales!

Uvita

Uvita is a wonderful, not very touristy place where you can spot whales and dolphins, enjoy amazing views over the ocean, swim at waterfalls or visit the “Whale thale”, at low tide!

Dominical

Dominical is best known as a surf paradise. The high, strong waves are ideal for advanced surfers. In the evening, many locals head to the beach for good food and lounging.

San Gerardo

Op 2200 meter hoogte ligt San Gerardo. De belangrijkste inwoner van dit natuurgebied is natuurlijk de Quetzal vogel. Naast de Quetzal zijn er nog ruim 200 vogelsoorten te spotten. Hiken door deze prachtige vallei met verschillende watervallen is een must!
