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.

With your wedding gift, we will experience the diversity of abundant marine life, magnificent colorful corals and the reef beyond! We will truly know where paradise subsides!

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.

Our adventure starts with a hike along the coast, making our way into the tropical forest to a streaming waterfall on the Rio Claro where we will ride down the river on inner tubes to a pristine beach to soak up some sun and take a nice refreshing dip, snorkel and enjoy a romantic picnic lunch! The grand finale, a well-deserved afternoon boat ride to complete our honeymoon outing!

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!

We are excited to go kayaking to Manzanillo arriving on the pristine Manzanillo Beach where we will start our underwater expedition. Swimming over beautiful corals, through caverns where an enchanted underwater garden awaits us with its precious treasures, brain coral, fire coral, turtle grass, parrot fish, angel fish, blue tangs and many more! Thanks to you!

With your thoughtful wedding gift, we will drive through lush coffee plantations and flower farms arriving at Poas National Park, a reserve with rich tropical vegetation and animal life and where the famous Poas Volcano rests. We will get to hike through the surrounding forest teeming with plant life and exotic birds and rest on an emerald green, tropical lagoon to heighten the romance of our honeymoon hiking tour!

We will travel through time and transport ourselves to the Costa Rica of the past! This cultural experience will have us entertained for hours with its unique presentations of Pueblo Antiguo where brilliant and bright colors of architecture, customs and traditions come together to show the origin of this small country and all of its friendly people, all while having a true Costa Rican meal. An unforgettable time, filling our hearts with content and culture!

Floating down the Penas Blancas River, we will discover true peacefulness as we observe monkeys, sloth, iguanas, turtles, crocodiles and many species of birds. Rowing quietly and gently down the river will enable us to take photos, enjoying the sounds of nature, sipping on a drink and indulging on the local tropical fruits and not even disturbing the animals!

On this unique tour of the surrounding San Jose area, we will visit active Poas volcano, hike a narrow jungle trail to an azure lagoon, stop at the beautiful La Paz waterfalls and explore the tropical rain forest while on a boat ride on the Sarapiqui river teaming with wildlife.

We look forward to scuba diving in this world-renowned diving location. The water is crystal clear and warm. The marine life is abundant with magnificent corals and the sea crustaceans of a thousand colors will amaze us. This will be a honeymoon day we'll always remember!

Costa Rica is world renowned for its exuberance of its biodiversity, such as its coffee. That's why two of Costa Rica's most popular destinations are The Butterfly Farm and The Coffee Tour of Cafe Britt. We will get to visit Alajuela where an enclosed tropical garden is filled with hundreds of butterflies, learning their natural history. Our journey continues onto Cafe Britt in Heredia where we will take the Coffee Tour, learning about the history of the coffee bean. We will even get a sample and the opportunity to purchase the strong stuff at factory price!

On this awesome underground adventure, our knowledgeable guide will take us through narrow passages, labyrinths and chambers where we'll see a famous rock formation called, "La Papaya" along with other amazing stalactites and stalagmites. This tour is only for those who like to get wet, muddy and messy just as we do!

We will take a moment to indulge in a bit of face time. Our skin will never have felt as hydrated, clean and healthy as after one of the signature facial services, designed with our specific needs in mind. This ultra-hydrating treatment offers serious relief for sensitive skin as it calms, soothes and replenishes the most aggravated, irritated, inflamed skin. By targeting the triggers behind redness, itching and stinging, this treatment will help recover our skin’s health.

We will experience the special indulgence of a couple's massage lying side-by-side being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenate senses, and leave us refreshed and revitalized. We want to reserve our spa treatments early for this ultimate spa experience!
