  • Reviewer: John and Barbara Donahue located in USA
    "We were very well satisfied with Costa Rica Expeditions, from the pick-up at San Jose Airport - including welcome help in getting through customs - to the conclusion of our trip. We liked the hotels you recommended: Bougainvillea near San Jose and Villa Blanca. The drivers we had on all transfers were helpful and spoke enough English for us to communicate. We liked your country and would like to return and when we do we will use your services."
  • Reviewer: Chuck and Tia Ramsey located in NC USA
    "Back in cold western North Carolina after one of our best vacations ever, we'd like to thank you and all the Costa Rica Expeditions staff for making our Costa Rica vacation a great experiencea Each trip component, starting with our arrival at the airport and ending with a drop-off at a car rental agency, included caring CRE staff ensuring that we were in the right place at the right time.Every part of your package was wonderful - the facilities were nice, the food was great, and the staff were outstanding. We'll certainly advise friends to consider Costa Rica Expeditions in their travel plans, and hope that we, too, can again use your services some day."

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival Costa Rica (No meals.)
Arrive at San Jose’s Juan Santamaria International Airport. After passing through Immigration you will be met by a Costa Rica Expeditions representative who will give you a sticker that will facilitate clearing customs. When you leave the building after clearing customs, look for a sign that says, "Costa Rica Expeditions" with your name on it. A Costa Rica Expeditions’ Guide wearing an orange shirt will be holding the sign. He or she will take you to your hotel. Overnight at Grano de Oro Hotel (standard room).

Day 2: San Jose / Manuel Antonio (B)
Depart in van to Manuel Antonio (about 4-1/2 hours). White-sand beaches, cliffs, promontories, ravines, rivers, rainforests, varied wildlife, beautiful seascapes and a hot climate all describe Manuel Antonio National Park, which is located on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast, 4.3 miles (7 kms) south of Quepos Harbor. In addition to the Park, Manual Antonio is one of Costa Rica's most popular beach destinations and is sometimes compared to Key West. Relatively small patches of primary forest remain in the Park providing a habitat for large populations of Squirrel and White-Face Monkeys. In fact, Manuel Antonio may be the best place in the world to observe these entertaining primates out of captivity. Here you will spend the next three nights. One half-day tour is included during your stay. You may choose between a motorized boat tour for wildlife observation in the Damas Esturary, kayaking in a mangrove swamp, or horseback riding. Overnight at Arenas del Mar Beach & Nature Resort ("ocean breeze" superior room).
