7 Day Costa Rica Family Itineraries & Tours

Our trip was very enjoyable. The resorts that were selected were top-notch in all aspects – nice rooms, great restaurants, and very nice locations. The tours we went on were very nice. Our favorite tour was the hanging bridge tour in La Fortuna. The hot springs at the La Fortuna resort were amazing. Our only criticism was the travel day between the resort in La Fortuna and the resort in Manuel Antonio. We were picked up at 8am and didn’t arrive until 4.15pm. We did zipline on the way, but the eight-hour travel day was very long. We would have preferred to travel straight from one resort to the other as quickly as possible, with no stops.

Overall, the trip was fantastic. Zicasso's travel agency did a great job of planning our itinerary and was very accessible during our trip. We loved Costa Rica.

We highly recommend this Zicasso travel partner. Our travel agent planned the perfect trip for our family – four adults and five kids. She listened, was flexible, and tailored the trip to our style. We are highly active. Having all the transfers and activities planned is the way to go. All you have to do is show up and the rest takes care of itself. 

We flew into Liberia and our transfer took us to La Fortuna for three nights. We did the hanging bridges, a Lake Arenal boat/volcano tour, canyoneering/whitewater rafting, and ziplining. The canyoneering/whitewater was our favorite. 

From there, we went to Rincón de la Vieja. Our agent booked us into family-friendly resorts. We only stayed two nights, but enjoyed a horseback ride to the waterfalls, the mud baths, thermal pools, and a massage. 

We booked our own airbnb in Nosara, but our agent arranged the transfers, a private rental car, and added tour input. All around, fantastic service. The app provided for the itinerary was perfect, as was the incredibly responsive service while we were in the country. My brother's flight arrival flight was canceled and the service team was immediately in contact with him to rearrange his transfer to the hotel.   I would use this travel company again in a heartbeat.

The trip was great. The hotels were particularly amazing and I have stayed at many hotels around the world. Tabacón was so unique, it could be my favorite part of the trip. My husband and son absolutely loved the resort and the gorgeous private beach (and monkeys). 

All of the excursions were amazing, except one. The horseback riding was on such a unique and wide open trail, we felt like we were alone in paradise on horseback (and the boys both expected to hate it!). Except for the fishing, the guides on every single tour were truly incredible and enhanced every experience. I would think twice before recommending that particular fishing charter. They were barely friendly and very unhelpful. 

Other than that, everything was perfect. Somehow, they even made the long ride from Arenal to Manuel Antonio pleasant. Zicasso's travel agent put together a wonderful experience.
