Tours in Costa Rica tours range from laid back to extreme, from a nature hike through rainforests sprinkled with lilies or birdwatching, to exploring active volcanoes, white water rafting and bungee jumping.
From aerial canopy zip line rides to sailing, scuba diving and horseback riding, Costa Rica tours offer the adventure of a lifetime. Or just take it easy on a laid back Jungle River Cruise on a luxury houseboat
