Coast to Coast
Eight days across the whole country — the wild Caribbean, the volcano, and the Pacific — without ever doubling back.
Costa Rica is narrow enough to cross in a week and wild enough that it feels like three countries while you do — in by the Caribbean canals, up through volcano country, out on the Pacific, with no backtracking and every transfer handled.

- 01
Into the wild Caribbean
We meet you at the airport and head for the coast — a drive into the lowlands, then a boat through the canals into Tortuguero, a place with no roads in or out. Settle into your lodge as the jungle gets loud. Somewhere most travellers never reach, on the first afternoon.
- 02
The canals
A morning by boat through Tortuguero's waterways — the “Amazon of Costa Rica” — with a naturalist reading the banks: caimans, monkeys, herons, the flash of a kingfisher. In season, a night on the beach where the turtles come ashore.
- 03
West to the volcano
Boat out, then the drive across the northern lowlands to Arenal, with a stop along the way to break it. Jungle flat gives way to volcano country. Arrive to the hot springs, the cone glowing at dusk, and dinner at a local chef's table.
- 04
Off the grid in Arenal
Open with the birds at first light, then a hike to off-the-map waterfalls only locals know, with a local guide reading the forest the whole way — the wildlife you'd have walked right past. Hot springs at dusk, then back into the trees after dark, when the forest you crossed by day turns electric: a red-eyed frog, an eyelash viper, eyes flashing in the canopy. One day, dawn to full dark.
- 05
Whitewater
A morning on the river — private rafting through the jungle, the good kind of adrenaline. The afternoon is yours: the hot springs, or a quiet finca and a good coffee.
- 06
Across to Guanacaste
The drive west into Guanacaste, the land drying into open country. By afternoon you're at Rincón de la Vieja — a different volcano, with mud pots, steam vents, and hidden waterfalls deep in the dry forest, far from any crowd.
- 07
The wild Pacific
Down to the coast — a quiet stretch of Guanacaste shore the strip never found. Swim, ride the sand, or do nothing at all but watch the sun go down over the water. The wind-down the whole trip's been building toward.
- 08
Out the other side
A last morning by the Pacific, then the drive to the airport and home. One country, coast to coast, behind you.
