Costa Rica Vacations

"

Catalina was a delightful person to be with- not only was she an excellent, knowledgeable guide, she was funny and entertaining. She was great with the kids, taking extra time with them to show how to do something, or just keeping them amused. Her strength and abilities made quite an impression on our 12 year old niece - what a great role model!

Serendipity Adventures Costa Rica was named one of Outside Magazine's 30 Greatest Trips Ever

Serendipity Costa Rica vacations are exhilarating, stimulating, and life expanding. You'll probably never have another vacation as envigorating, as easy to plan, or as smoothly operated, as your private, custom vacation to Costa Rica with Serendipity Costa Rica. We specialize in family vacations, adventure vacations, and nature oriented vacations in the interior of Costa Rica — the part of the country filled with volcanoes, rain forests, mountains, white water rivers, waterfalls, and cloud forests. Then, when you have absorbed the essence of our country, we'll leave you on a beautiful beach.

  • Costa Rica Adventure Vacations

    Adventure travel with Serendipity lets you pretend to be a commando dropping down canyon walls on ropes like when you were a kid.

    Adventure travel means more than adrenaline — it means learning and practicing skills, it means team work, it means immersing yourself in each activity and concentrating on accomplishing a goal. Serendipity's approach to Costa Rica adventure travel focuses on this important concept — push yourself, pull yourself, and, when you're the "top dog" in the pack, pull the others along with you.

    We're not simply a vacation package company, sending you off with one tour operator here, another tour operator there. We operate our travel adventures ourselves — we have our own rafts, climbing equipment, horses, observation platforms, nature river boats, hot air balloons.

  • Costa Rica Nature Immersion Vacations

    Access the places where the animals haven't been scared away by the crowds.

    We're specialists in reaching the parts of Costa Rica inaccessible to tour buses and large groups. Our guide-intensive Costa Rica naturalist expeditions awaken your spirit and challenge your mind and body, giving you more than pretty images to remember.

    Nature tours which only point out the animals and the plants, without explaining the whole environment and connectedness of the ecology, are both superficial and misleading. Serendipity gets you places to see the bigger picture, to better understand the delicate balance of nature, the connections between animals, plants, water, weather, earth, soil, industry, and human. Getting into the natural environment is more than eco tourism, it means eco immersion. See it, hear it, smell it.

  • Group Departure Costa Rica Vacations

    Even if you travel in a group you'll have room to stretch your legs with Serendipity.

    We also offer a few Costa Rica Package Tours that singles and couples or even whole families can join.

    Serendipity's Costa Rica group departure vacations are small package tours for active travelers seeking nature or adventure, or a combination of both.

    In every Costa Rica package tour group we emphasize the cohesiveness of the group, Costa Rica nature and beauty, and access to real people, not just the people working in tourism. And, as with our private tours, we operate all of the adventure travel activities ourselves.

Serendipity designs your Costa Rica vacation itinerary seamlessly around your priorities. No wasted time. No trips on buses. No lines. We take you — by foot, 4x4, boat, balloon, horseback — to the most undisturbed places. We invite you to share grand adventures — all private, all designed and operated to your skill level and expectation, with our own expert guides and well maintained equipment, good food and interesting and comfortable hotels. You'll be treated to a level of service few tour operators of the world even fathom. No wonder Serendipity was named one of the Top 30 Adventures of the World by OUTSIDE Magazine (March, 2007), and one of the Top 10 Adventures of Latin America by Discovery Channel (April, 2007).

We invite you to join us in Costa Rica, as an explorer, as a guest, as our soon-to-be friend. We promise you camaraderie, amazing adventures, quiet nature, comfortable accommodations, and good, fresh food. We promise you won't be bored. And we promise you'll never forget your Serendipity Costa Rica vacation.

So if you want an active Costa Rica vacation, which will give access to the real Costa Rican people, off-the-tourist-route splendors of our country, then Serendipity is your partner. Read more about our philosophy, our Costa Rica vacation specialties, or see comments from our previous guests.
