Costa Rica group tours for solo travellers
Travel solo as part of a group tour to Costa Rica
Why travel solo to Costa Rica?
Think of Costa Rica as Central America’s Eden: a lush ecosystem, largely unspoilt by the modern world, where you’ll feel closer to nature than ever.
Prepare for remarkable wildlife, from sloths to howler monkeys, turtles to breaching whales. You’ll trek through dense virgin rainforests, impossibly rich with flora and fauna, kayak emerald rivers and pad down pure shores overlooking the Caribbean Sea. In search of wellness? You’ll find it in Costa Rica’s pura vida lifestyle – which runs right through from healthy food to a thriving yoga scene and an all-round appreciation of being close to nature. All reasons explain why Costa Rica is home to one of the world’s healthiest populations.
This is a country where biodiversity blooms and the good life is nourished. A group solo adventure in Costa Rica will restore you as soon as your feet hit the sand.
Top places to visit in Costa Rica
Arenal Volcano
One of the country’s top activity hubs, this perfectly conical volcano is flanked by hot springs, lush rainforests and beautiful waterfalls. From canyoning and ziplining to rafting and tubing, there’s no end to the adventures on offer.
Manuel Antonio
Picture-perfect beaches backed by rich coastal rainforest await on Costa Rica’s stunning Pacific Coast. The national park is filled with scenic hiking trails and abundant wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, toucans and more.
Monteverde
The undulating hills of the cool Central Highlands offer perfect conditions for growing coffee. Explore mist-shrouded cloudforests, home to the rare resplendent quetzal, and hike across hanging bridges high in the jungle canopy.
Tortuguero
Set on a broad floodplain off Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, Tortuguero (meaning ‘turtle’) is one of the world’s most important turtle nesting sites. The area’s rich biodiversity is best explored by boat, gliding silently through the jungle canals.
