Daily Itinerary
Day 1 – December 7: Welcome to Pura Vida
Arrive at Liberia International Airport (LIR), where private transportation takes you to your beautiful beachfront hotel in Tamarindo. This evening, gather with your group for a gentle intention-setting journaling session to get ready for the week ahead. Then enjoy a welcome dinner of fresh Costa Rican flavors as you meet your fellow travelers and settle into the laid-back rhythm of pura vida.
Overnight: Jardin Del Eden Hotel or Equivalent
Meals: Dinner
Please note, you need to arrive by 2pm local time to take the group airport shuttle from LIR airport to the hotel (approximately a 1 hour drive). If you’d like to arrive a day early, we can arrange an extra night at our resort and private shuttle for you on Dec 6th.
Day 2 – December 8: Mangroves and Wildlife
Start your morning with an energizing yoga session before heading out to explore Palo Verde National Park. Take a guided boat tour through the mangroves and watch for monkeys, crocodiles, parrots, and dozens of tropical birds in one of Costa Rica’s richest wildlife areas. Return to the hotel this afternoon for a light yoga session, some quiet time by the water, and dinner with your group.
Overnight: Jardin Del Eden Hotel or Equivalent
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3 – December 9: Free Day & Massages
Today is all about rest and rejuvenation. You have the day at leisure to spend by the pool, walk Tamarindo’s golden beaches, or simply unwind in your ocean-view room. If you’re craving a little adrenaline, this is the perfect day to book an optional ATV jungle tour, a zipline canopy ride, a beginner surf lesson, or a horseback ride along the sand. Every guest has a massage included during the tour and you can book it for today, or another of our free afternoons.
Overnight: Jardin Del Eden Hotel or Equivalent
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 4 – December 10: Sloths, Coffee, and Waterfalls
Set out early this morning for a full day in Costa Rica’s green interior. Walk a private rainforest reserve with a naturalist guide who knows exactly where to look, spotting sloths, toucans, poison dart frogs, and butterflies you would never find on your own. Next, visit a family-run coffee and cacao farm to taste both at every stage, from raw bean to finished chocolate. The day ends with lunch at a beloved local kitchen and a refreshing swim beneath the wide curtain of Llanos de Cortez Waterfall before you return to the coast.
Overnight: Jardin Del Eden Hotel or Equivalent
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Please note this is a full-day excursion (~7am to 4:30pm) with roughly two hours of driving in each direction. The waterfall is reached by a set of stairs, and swimming is entirely optional.
Day 5 – December 11: Sailing and Snorkeling
This morning, set sail on a catamaran cruise to Las Baulas National Marine Park. Snorkel in clear blue water filled with colorful fish and watch for dolphins along the way. This evening, gather one last time for a journaling session to reflect on your week, followed by a special farewell dinner to celebrate your Costa Rica adventure.
Overnight: Jardin Del Eden Hotel or Equivalent
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Please note getting on an off the catamaran does require using a small ladder and a few steps. The crew is there to help, but if you are unable to go up/down a 5 rung ladder, this excursion may be be the right fit.
Day 6 – December 12: Hasta Luego
Enjoy your final breakfast with ocean views before your private transfer back to Liberia International Airport (LIR). Leave Costa Rica feeling refreshed, reconnected, and inspired, taking a little pura vida home with you.
Please note that you should book departing flights after 12pm local time to participate in the group airport shuttle. If you need an earlier flight, a shuttle can be arranged but there may be an additional cost for the private airport transfer.
