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 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!

Costa Rica's bungee jumping hot spot is the "Viejo Puente Sobre el Rio Colorado" so why not give it a try? After all, we are in Costa Rica! We will revel in the excitement and thrill of flying through the sky as we bungee jump off of a 300 foot bridge! As we keep falling and falling, just as we did for each other, we know this will be one experience we will never forget!

On our tour, we will depart from La Fortuna and drive to Los Chiles, a rustic town, taking a boat down to Rio Frio to the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge. There, we will observe many different types of birds along with sloth, monkeys, caimans, lizards, bats and an array of colorful flora of the wetland. A truly beautiful experience!

This Canopy Tour will be an amazing, unforgettable experience! We'll fly through the tree tops of the Monteverde Could Forest on steel cables. We'll experience the various levels of the canopy as we glide and swing from tree to tree. Watch out Tarzan!

This tour will show us nature-lovers the Eco-Center where we'll learn and observe the natural history of butterflies, a variety of tropical plants, traditional crops, organically farmed in gardens. 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.

On our way to our destination, we will travel through tropical forests near Rincon de la Vieja National Park, the Guanacaste Mountain Range, passing by small villages and cattle ranches. Arriving at the natural hot springs, we will get to try the therapeutic properties of the ever-so-famous mineral mud along with a nice soak in the warm waters marveling at the lush tropical scenery. If we are feeling adventurous we can be swinging through the trees like Tarzan and Jane to experience a world only the bird's eye sees!

This rafting experience will leave us exhilarated and stunned with its beautiful verdant jungle gorge, palm plantations, and nearby farmlands. We will hopefully stay afloat down the Naranjo River, as we witness the scenes of natural beauty, the tropical flora and fauna and its history. A truly wild ride!

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!

Buena Vista, located in the volcanic mountain range of Guanacaste, offers us a unique opportunity to enjoy nature at its best. After a short and easy horseback ride we will visit the volcanic hot springs and fumaroles. Last but not least, we'll enjoy a mud bath and mask in a relaxing sulfur hot water pool.

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!
