Slow mornings, local noms, jungle canopies, coffee farm tours, waterfalls, and a choose-your-own adventure flexible itinerary including a massage with our bodywork specialist, Tori!
Explore Marino Ballena National Park, cruise the Sierpe River spotting monkeys and crocs, chase the legendary Nauyaca Waterfalls, and zip through the jungle canopy — then come home to the sounds of the forest, a pool, and a massage waiting for you. Whether you're craving adventure or permission to truly unplug, this trip delivers both. You'll leave feeling like a different human.

Each day is packed with adventure, but with flexible options
Shuttle from San Jose to Juan Santamaría International Airport, stopping for dinner before arriving at the rainforest sanctuary. We'll settle in and explore the property.
Start the day with a chill morning at the sanctuary with coffee, pool time, and jungle sounds. Visit Marino Balleno National park for an iconic whale tail beach walk. Optionally take a surfing lesson or settle in to watch the sunset at the beach. Either way, we'll take in the local scenery with dinner out at a nearby soda.
Venture out for a boat tour with included lunch through the Sierpe River for wildlife spotting (monkeys, crocodiles, exotic birds, etc.). Optionally extend out toward the famous mangroves and coastal areas. We'll snag an early dinner on our way back to the sanctuary.
Enjoy a coffee farm tour and learn the process from bean to brew. Then cool off with a guided waterfall tour through multiple jungle falls and swimming holes at Nauyaca Waterfalls.
Head out to the jungle for waterfall rapelling with lunch included, then look to the sky for a canopy ziplining adventure. We'll return to the sanctuary for dinner nearby.
Set your own pace for the day. Return to the beach, take that surf lesson, chase a different waterfall, go inner with journaling or wellness time, or hit the shops. The day is your oyster.
Lean into a slow morning, jump on a beach ATV adventure, go for a hike, or even hop on a horse for a ride. Pack your gear for departure, and enjoy our celebration dinner with a private chef-provided meal.
Say your sunrise jungle goodbyes, then hop back into the private shuttle to get back to SJO for your trip home.
