Veteran travel company Western River Expeditions truly understands how important it is for their clients to be able to customize a suggested itinerary. That’s why they invite guests to tweak the company’s recently launched 9-day multi-sport Costa Rica adventure to create their own personalized experience.
This trip is offered year-round with ultimate flexibility in scheduling for a minimum of two participants who choose their own date of trip departure based on availability. The per person (double) rate is from $3,295 (minimum age 12).
Guests may decide to shorten or lengthen their core trip with final price adjusted accordingly. Additionally, adventurers can add activities and regions of specific interest or skip some parts of the suggested itinerary.
For example, if you are escaping a stateside winter, you may want to add beach time or sport fishing and surf lessons while on the Pacific Coast in Manuel Antonio National Park. Or, while rafting the Pacuare River, you may want to visit to the Cabecar Indian village enroute for an immersion into native culture. Other add-on options might include biking and hiking around Arenal Volcano or a trip to Tortuguero National Park on the Caribbean coast to get up close and personal with Green, leatherback and Hawksbill sea turtles that nest on the beaches there.
“Costa Rica is a natural, with the added excitement of volcanoes, hot springs and beaches,” said Brandon Lake, CMO of Western River Expeditions. “This customizable itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors or anyone new to foreign travel. We offer as much ‘hand holding’ as needed at the front end of the trip while adopting a more on-your-own approach as participants become more comfortable with their surroundings.”
Western’s nine-day/eight-night Costa Rica vacation package includes conquering the rapids of the legendary Pacuare River, rated one of the most beautiful in the world. This river slices from Costa Rica’s interior to the Caribbean, enroute creating some of Costa Rica’s most exciting rapids flanked by pristine rainforest. Guests stay for two nights at Pacuare Lodge, rated one of the top jungle eco lodges anywhere. An off-river day explores waterfalls and a zip line adventure above a tropical rainforest canopy. The rafting continues downriver to the takeout, where a minibus awaits for the trip to Arenal Volcano and a buffet dinner on the open air terrace at Tabacón Grand Spa Thermal Resort.
The rate includes eight nights and breakfasts at four stellar properties; three lunches and three dinners; transfers to and from San Jose airport, hotels and activity sites; rafting; zip lining; soaking in the thermal waterfalls and pools of T Tabacón; guided walks; and a tour of Manuel Antonio National Park to see sloths and numerous species of monkeys.
