Tina & Luke

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.

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!

We will admire nature in all its glory as we float down the Corobici River on a rubber raft. Exotic sights of flora and fauna are common to this area: ospreys, herons, egrets and a variety of iguanas and monkeys. This river float will be an unforgettable adventure we won't forget.

We aren't looking forward to carting our clubs all the way to Costa Rica, so help us by renting clubs there.

An excellent golf course virtually "in the garden of your house" completes the exclusive atmosphere for the lovers of this sport. This is a true, 6,800-meter masterpiece of Mike Young, who has designed some of the finest golf courses in the southern United States. His characteristic emphasis on detail allowed him to build a course where each hole was designed to conform to the slopes and the contours of the natural landscape of Hacienda Pinilla.

We'll take an adventurous ride up in the mountains and hike through the amazing rainforest. We'll enjoy dazzling rivers and cool off under a spectacular waterfall.

We are excited to go kayaking to Manzanillo arriving on the pristine Manzanillo Beach where we will start our underwater expedition. Swimming over beautiful corals, through caverns where an enchanted underwater garden awaits us with its precious treasures, brain coral, fire coral, turtle grass, parrot fish, angel fish, blue tangs and many more! Thanks to you!

With your wedding gift, we will tour through the Pan-American heading to Alajuela, visiting the agriculture monument, the Juan Santa Maria statue and the famous Mangos Park. We will take a stop at the coffee fields, a fern farm, strawberry plantations, and flower farms. Continuing onto the Caribbean area we will discover the La Paz Waterfall Gardens where we will hike trails, witness the largest enclosed butterfly observatory and a hummingbird gallery full of tropical jewels. We even have time to sit down and enjoy a romantic buffet lunch, Costa Rican style!

What could be more romantic and relaxing than sailing through the turquoise Caribbean waters on an elegant yacht? We will enjoy the beautiful landscape together on our honeymoon sail.

We will finally experience the true Tarzan and Jane way of life as we soar through the trees of Tu Ru Bari Tropical Park. On this exhilarating tour, we will get a bird's eye view of the park's magnificent scenery and exotic flora and fauna and have the opportunity to taste the local flavors of the Costa Rican cuisine in one of the two restaurants Tu Ru Bari offers! A lovely wedding gift and a thrill of a lifetime!

On this awesome underground adventure, our knowledgeable guide will take us through narrow passages, labyrinths and chambers where we'll see a famous rock formation called, "La Papaya" along with other amazing stalactites and stalagmites. This tour is only for those who like to get wet, muddy and messy just as we do!

With your honeymoon gift, we'll enjoy entertainment and a delicious sunset dinner on the beach. Thank you!

With a spectacular view of the ocean, we will join the locals and feast on comida tipica (native dishes), fresh fish, and succulent steaks complemented by gallo pinto, the national dish of fried rice and black beans.

Help us get to Costa Rica, and then back home to San Francsico.

What a great wedding gift! We'll travel in style with the top down on our convertible, enjoying the warm island breezes blowing gently on our faces.

A scooter is a fun and casual way to see the sights of our honeymoon destination. No need to fix our hair for this trip!

Thank you for allowing us to pre-plan our trip. It all goes towards having the ultimate getaway made possible by your generous registry gift.

We'll toast to our lives together as we uncork the effervescence of a bottle of champagne. Cheers!

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!

I will be pampered with a classic and gentle cleansing facial with wonderful aromatic ingredients, leaving my skin radiant and beautiful. No photos during the treatment allowed!

From the excellent service at the hotel to the attentive waiters at dinner, there's going to be a long list of people to thank for helping us have the perfect time away from home.
