Garland & Kyle

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.

We can't wait to experience true paradise as we fly by white sand beaches on our biking tour. Along the way, we will make many stops at Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Reserve where we will get to observe a variety of birds, monkeys and coatis. On our way to an authentic Caribbean village, where we will take a cool swim in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, we will stop for a cold refreshing beverage to quench our thirst!

Costa Rica's bungee jumping hot spot is the "Viejo Puente Sobre el Rio Colorado" so why not give it a try? After all, we are in Costa Rica! We will revel in the excitement and thrill of flying through the sky as we bungee jump off of a 300 foot bridge! As we keep falling and falling, just as we did for each other, we know this will be one experience we will never forget!

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!

Our adventure starts with a hike along the coast, making our way into the tropical forest to a streaming waterfall on the Rio Claro where we will ride down the river on inner tubes to a pristine beach to soak up some sun and take a nice refreshing dip, snorkel and enjoy a romantic picnic lunch! The grand finale, a well-deserved afternoon boat ride to complete our honeymoon outing!

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.

With your wedding gift, we will indulge in the crisp night air and take a walk to The Dendrobates Reserve where we will get to witness different types of frogs from tree frogs to bullfrogs, along with a variety of colorful species such as poison dart frogs, snakes, night birds, mammals and insects. We will enjoy this nocturnal activity through a rainforest so precious!

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.

Exploring the Monteverde Cloud Forest, seeing our tropical surroundings from a bird's eye view as we swing from platform to platform in a safe and easy manner among the treetops. We will hike trails across deep canyons and get the scoop on the local flora and fauna. A lovely wedding gift, for us lovely honeymooners!

We can't wait to take a leisurely cruise down Arenal Lake with the amazing view of Arenal Volcano, the sunset as our beautiful backdrop adding to our romantic ambience and the magnificent wildlife, such as flycatchers, kingfishers, anninga, monkeys, coatis and sloth. The perfect way to explore the natural beauty of Costa Rica on our honeymoon!

We will soon be enjoying a splendid morning of kayaking on Lake Arenal with magnificent views of the Arenal Volcano. Witnessing all the different species of birds like the flycatcher, kingfisher, the great blue heron and anninga with the sounds of howler monkeys in the background!

On our honeymoon we would love to visit the Botanical Gardens with a spectacular variety of plant life, with tropical wild flowers of every brilliant and bright color imaginable! Our guide will tell us about cultivation; characteristics and the care taking of these jeweled exotic beauties. One magical honeymoon experience!

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.

We will experience some of the best food that Costa Rica has to offer as we explore the country. We will treat ourselves to some fine dining along the coast and in the rainforest.

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 need a spa day just to ourselves! We will sit back, relax and indulge in a rejuvenating and revitalizing spa treatment or massage to help soothe our tense muscles and to help us get back in the groove.

Buena Vista, located in the volcanic mountain range of Guanacaste, offers us a unique opportunity to enjoy nature at its best. After a short and easy horseback ride we will visit the volcanic hot springs and fumaroles. Last but not least, we'll enjoy a mud bath and mask in a relaxing sulfur hot water pool.

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!
