Paige & Ryan

This thrilling four-wheel-drive journey will take us where breathtaking landscapes and traditional culture are just waiting to be discovered! We will experience the spectacular scenery, lives of rural Costa Ricans that have barely changed over the years, secluded soft silver-sand beaches, exotic flora and fauna and many quaint little villages. Sounds like honeymoon fun!

The Arenal Volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the Americas. From our observation point, we will feel the ground tremble and see the night sky explode with ash and lava in a natural display of fireworks. We will visit the hot springs of Arenal, where we will relax in the soothing waters and be caressed by the cool night air while observing the stars and the incredible night sky above the volcano. This is absolutely an evening we will not want to miss.

From the Bijagual Waterfalls we will plummet from cliffs deep within the lush jungle, climbing a small mountain range in the Carara National Park. On our adventure, we will witness breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Ocean and quaint fishing villages along the way, continuing on horseback through a jungle trail leading us to the waterfalls with its natural beauty, such as lush vegetation, toucans and red macaws. We will experience the pleasure of plunging in the pristine pools at the base of the waterfalls!

With your wedding gift, we will wake up just as the early birds do and make our way to Corcovado Park where we will get the chance to see more than 400 species of birds. We will have the opportunity to tour the ever-so-famous Violin Island to see marine birds of different sorts!

On our honeymoon we would love to hike through trails of the rainforest to Cahuita, visiting Puerto Vargas along the way. Our journey will come to a brief stop where we will have a romantic picnic lunch by the crystal clear Caribbean waters and maybe take a cool refreshing dip. Continuing on the trail we will see howler monkeys, the green ibis and the mighty rufous kingfisher above in the treetops! So many sights to take in but we will do it all thanks to you!

Our next destination, the La Fortuna Waterfall for a leisurely float in the natural swimming holes and the rocks surrounding us to rest from our invigorating swim. Then it's back to town to enjoy a romantic lunch at "Lava Rocks Restaurant." Thank you!

Our experienced captain will take us out into the Pacific Ocean near Cano Island to crystal blue waters teaming with sea life. Here Orcas, pilot, humpback and other whales are sighted almost daily. Together we will have the thrill of meeting our dolphins face-to-face, sharing a soft touch, and viewing their grace and beauty. We'll make sure to take home a photo for a perfect memory of our honeymoon adventure.

After a delicious breakfast, we will start our day with a stroll along the Rio Celeste River arriving at Tenorio Volcano National Park, where we'll hike through a tropical rainforest arriving at "Los Tenideros" of the Rio Celeste, a place where two streams of water come together and form one heavenly color of crystal blue. Hiking back, we will stop and take a mud bath in the healing mud, and take a luxurious soak in the natural hot springs while observing Tenorio Volcano, continuing through the jungle and our final reward, an exquisite lunch for our hunger! A lovely honeymoon tour!

We'll get an early start on this tour heading to the Arenal Dam where a motorboat takes us to Arenal Lake and to El Castillo where our horses will be ready for us! Our horses will lead us across rivers, grasslands and lush forests while we climb hills until we reach the Monteverde Cloud Forest and the nearby Children's Rainforest Reserve! One unforgettable honeymoon memory!

Driving through Sabana Park, we will take a walking tour through the historic National Theater, visit unique museums, the University of Costa Rica, and the Supreme Court along with a brief stop in Moravia allowing us to browse the boutiques and pick up some souvenirs from our Costa Rican honeymoon!

An experience we will never forget!
