4 Nights – Beach
Enjoy as a self drive or with private transfers.
UK – San José (2 nights): You’ll begin your Costa Rican adventure in the lively capital of San José, offering the perfect introduction to the country’s culture, history, food and ‘Pura Vida’ lifestyle. Explore museums such as the Gold Museum and Jade Museum or stroll through the Central Market with its maze of stalls. As night falls, head to the city’s wonderful restaurant and bar scene in Barrio Escalante for a taste of the local dishes and to see why the city is quickly gaining a reputation as a foodie’s paradise.
🚗 San Jose – Arenal Volcano / La Fortuna (4 nights): Heading out of the city, you’ll drive to the stunning Arenal Volcano region, known for its cone-shaped active volcano and beautiful surrounding landscapes. The town of La Fortuna is at the base of the volcano and is perfect as a base for exploring the wider region. Whether you’re exploring hot springs, hiking through the Arenal Volcano National Park, or enjoying a thrilling zipline adventure through the rainforest, there’s no shortage of activities. The nearby La Fortuna Waterfall is also a must-see, where you can take a dip in its crystal-clear pool. Also take a boat tour of Lake Arenal for great views of the volcano and wildlife.
🚗 or Arenal Volcano/La Fortuna – Beach (4 nights): For the final leg of your trip, you’ll head to the coast to unwind on one of Costa Rica’s beautiful beaches. There are a wealth of beach destinations to choose from, each offering something unique, depending on what you’re looking for and how far you’re willing to travel. For the most convenient option, Manuel Antonio is the closest option, where you can enjoy a perfect blend of rainforest exploration and pristine beaches. With vibrant bars, restaurants, and hotels providing easy access to the national park, it’s ideal for both adventure and relaxation. For a less touristy spot on this coastline, nearby Jaco, Dominical, and Uvita offer equally beautiful alternatives. Or for a more wildlife-focused beach experience, you could head to Drake Bay from which you will have easy access to the Corcovado National Park and also Caño Island, popular with divers and snorkellers. If you’re looking for luxury or all-inclusive resorts, the Guanacaste coast is your best bet. Although it’s a longer drive, or a short flight from San José, the area boasts stunning resorts such as Playa Flamingo, lively Tamarindo, or Nosara, known for its wellness retreats, or Punta Islita, home to boutique luxury hotels. On the Caribbean coast, Puerto Viejo de Talamanca and Cahuita offer serene, unspoiled beaches and a laid-back atmosphere – although though getting there requires a bit more travel time.
Beach to UK: Time to pack your suitcases and leave behind the incredible sights and wonders of Costa Rica, taking with you memories of adventure and paradise.

Many thanks again to Kadie for sorting our holiday. This is the second time and very happy to return for help again after the totally amazing trip she arranged to Vietnam. One small blip on accommodation at one resort last time but eShores staff responded quickly and everything was easily sorted. Highly recommend eShores to…
This is the second time using e-Shores and we can't recommend them highly enough. Emily, who we've worked with on both occasions, is extremely professional, knowledgeable, diligent and has made great suggestions. The process of getting quotes, booking and making payments has been painless and I'd say we will be regular cuatomers going forward.
Amazing service
We travelled with eShores to Andalucia last year, and Emily did an amazing job of compiling an itinerary with good but affordable hotels - we would heartily recommend each one that she chose for us, and all the arrangements between cities worked beautifully. This year we have gone back to her for another holiday and…
This is my second holiday with eshore. The service I received was excellent. Kelly was very professional, understood all my requirements and booked a fantastic holiday for us. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Kelly and definitely recommend friends to book holidays with her. A real 5 star service.
As always, our go-to girl came through with a fab itinerary for our very last minute booking to USA. Kadie arranged another 3 city break and made sure everything fitted in with our requirements. Always use eShores for our bespoke long distance travels and they never fail to provide excellent service.
eShores is a fantastic company for crafting tailor made itineraries. I have just booked my fourth trip with them, this time to Colombia. Gavin was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble in meeting my wishes even though it requred a lot of back and forth adjustments. If this is anything like my previous…
Matt Got us everything we wanted for our USA trip
I have yet to take the holiday so I can't comment on the hotels and transport provided etc but Nick was very helpful with the booking. Despite me asking numerous questions he sorted out exactly what I asked for within my budget. Thank you
So far our experience with eShores has been great. Of course the real test will be when we are on holiday so hopefully this will continue :)
Nick did exactly what I asked for, was prompt and helpful. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
We had been recommended eshores by a friend who had holidayed in Croatia. We phoned and then used email to communicate with Chris Eaves who made the whole process very easy. He adjusted the holiday to exactly how we wanted it and was very speedy in his replies. We are hoping the holiday goes as…
The trip has been planned with our requirements fulfilled and also given options to change where we wanted. Looking forward to the trip and hope that all goes as smoothly as the booking side
So this is my second time using eshores and I won’t be going anywhere else to book my future holidays. I gave Claire a horrible job in finding what I needed and kept changing the brief but she persevered and found me the best holiday. I’m going in September and can’t wait. I’ll be back…
Excellent prompt service from Michelle. Hotels she suggested all look amazing and the itinerary for the four areas of Italy looked perfectly planned .
Nick was very understanding in as much as we did flex the itinerary quite a bit before booking and we have a holiday package which more than meets our needs.
Great and friendly customer service from Andy, as before. Andy always goes out of his way to find a holiday that matches our requirements.
Excellent service again from Dave. Having booked with e shores on a number of occasions they now understand our parameters. Price, days types of hotels etc.
Having dealt with eShores for several years, and with Dave Felton in particular, the latest holiday arranged by the Company was done smoothly, professionally and to our total satisfaction. Well done and keep up the great service.
Talked with Dave asking for assistance to finf flights for my sister and injured niece from Edinburgh to Perth in W.A. avoiding the Middle East. Dave again came up trumps with flights to suit and at a good price. First class service much appreciated.
