Tami & John

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.

On our honeymoon we would love to hike through trails of the rainforest to Cahuita, visiting Puerto Vargas along the way. Our journey will come to a brief stop where we will have a romantic picnic lunch by the crystal clear Caribbean waters and maybe take a cool refreshing dip. Continuing on the trail we will see howler monkeys, the green ibis and the mighty rufous kingfisher above in the treetops! So many sights to take in but we will do it all thanks to you!

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 take an adventurous ride through the mountains and hike through the rainforest to cool off under this spectacular waterfall.

We'll let an experienced guide take us on a hike through Manuel Antonio National Park so we don't get lost! Visiting two pristine, sun-kissed white-sand beaches, Espadilla Sur and Manuel Antonio learning about local plant life, pointing out some of the subsiding fauna such as capuchin, squirrel monkeys, agouti and the three-toed sloth along with 184 species of birds. A honeymoon adventure we will always remember!

We will enjoy snorkeling in the beautiful turquoise waters of Manuel Antonio before we have dinner and a romantic cruise aboard an elegant yacht.

We will have fun challenging the river rapids in our full-day adventure, starting out with a joyride through remote back country of the Rio Savegre to our destination of the Savegre River where we will raft with excitement, enjoy the cool and pure swimming holes, witnessing dense jungle and the magnificent waterfalls where we will enjoy an afternoon snack with lunch shortly following! Choosing from six person rafts or two person inflatable kayaks, we will know whatever we choose will be more than fun, it will be exhilarating!

Costa Rica is world renowned for its exuberance of its biodiversity, such as its coffee. That's why two of Costa Rica's most popular destinations are The Butterfly Farm and The Coffee Tour of Cafe Britt. We will get to visit Alajuela where an enclosed tropical garden is filled with hundreds of butterflies, learning their natural history. Our journey continues onto Cafe Britt in Heredia where we will take the Coffee Tour, learning about the history of the coffee bean. We will even get a sample and the opportunity to purchase the strong stuff at factory price!

While staying at the Turtle Beach Lodge in Tortuguero, we hope to enjoy a relaxing breakfast in bed including gallo pinto, fresh fruits, crepes, grilled plantain, juices, jams, and breads.

The Mirador Ram Luna has the most spectacular panoramic view of San Jose. We will enjoy typical Costa Rican cuisine while overlooking the city.

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.

Though the name means "black sheep" in Italian, there's nothing shameful about this thatch-roof roadside restaurant. We will enjoy a menu of light Tuscan entrées, appetizers, and desserts in one of the Costa Rica's top Italian restaurants.

The Mar y Sombra is one of Manuel Antonio's finest beachside restaurant with a roof of Indian almond trees and thick lianas draped with moss, ferns, and orchids. We hope to enjoy a sunset dinner on the beach.

We will indulge in these decadent dark-chocolate orbs filled with Cafe Britt's intense rum-based coffee liqueur. Both warm and sweet, each bite is a sensory delight.

We can plan to start our trip with a romantic flair! What better way than with the decadence of this unbeatable combination?

We'll savor an exotic medley of fruit, hand-dipped individually into a rich and silky smooth chocolate to indulge while overlooking the spectacular views! Simply sweet bliss!
