On this six-day voyage in Guanacaste, guests are surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. From picture-perfect beaches to hidden jungle waterfalls, enjoy the diversity of the Guanacaste Conservation Area, one of the oldest and largest UNESCO World Heritage sites.
This remote part of Costa Rica is overflowing with wild allures. Over millennia, eruptions from the Arenal Volcano have created hyper-rich soil that nurtures a unique tropical dry forest. More than 30 rivers wind their way through this swath of green, pumping nutrients into the surrounding waters, which in turn nourish healthy, vibrant coral reefs.

Discover diverse tropical ecosystems while exploring via kayak and paddleboard, on foot, and soaring by zipline
Enjoy a relaxing afternoon on Isla Tortuga's palm-shaded beaches with refreshments and hors d'oeuvres
Explore the volcanic landscapes of Rincón de la Vieja National Park and search for iconic wildlife, from monkeys to macaws, including a wide variety of toucan and monkey species
