It can be difficult to find a place for your family vacation that everyone can get on board with. Your older kids may not want to do what your younger kids want to do. Or you might be looking for a bit more action and adventure for yourself and one of your kids, but not the other. Maybe you’re a grandparent or traveling with a grandparent and you’re worried about finding an active trip that you can also have fun with. Look no further, Costa Rica is the place you need to go. Costa Rica is an incredible country that has a little bit of something for everyone.

Kids

The wildlife in Costa Rica is enough to get anyone excited about a vacation. Younger kids get especially excited by the wildlife. Costa Rica is home to over half a million different wildlife species. As you leisurely kayak through mangroves or hike through jungles, your youngsters are sure to see monkeys hanging out on tree limbs, colorful toucans and bright red scarlet macaws flying through the air, and iguanas lying in the sun. These encounters will get them excited and they’ll never forget it!

Teens and Older Kids

We know it can be hard to convince a teenager what cool and fun is, but we’ve never had a problem getting approval for the adventures in Costa Rica. Some of the more exhilarating activities you can do in Costa Rica range from zip-lining high in the sky to white-water rafting on the rivers below. These activities are an adrenaline rush, but also very safe. It isn’t only teens that will have fun with this either, parents and grandparents also think it’s a blast!

Parents

Parents, we know you can hang on the zip-lines and paddle around in the kayaks. But sometimes isn’t it nice to just relax? One thing that our parents love is the eco-thermal hot springs. The Eco Termales hot springs are the only true natural hot springs in Arenal. The fun and relaxed atmosphere is wildly beautiful among green gardens and steamy cascades. It’s your family vacation; you should get some time to relax!

Grandparents

The one constant thing that we here from grandparent travelers is how thrilling it was for them to show their grandkids the world. Costa Rica is a place where grandparents can be with the family and see colorful and animated wildlife, fly through the treetops, and make memories that will last forever. Nothing compares to exploring a place with the entire family where everyone can have fun.
