Plan An Unforgettable Costa Rica Family Vacation
Costa Rica is one of my favorite family travel destinations. There are lots of interesting and unique things to do in Costa Rica with kids. Watch the lava flow from one of the active volcanoes, learn to surf on one of the beautiful beaches, and explore the rain forests in search of blue-jeans frogs, sloths, monkeys and toucans! There are lots of family friendly Costa Rica hotels to choose from. You can stay in a rainforest eco-lodge, in a jungle treehouse or even a converted airplane! Your Costa Rica family vacation will be filled with fun adventures! Babies and toddlers will love seeing the colorful butterflies, birds and playful monkeys. Children will love ziplining, white water rafting and hanging out in the hotsprings.Teenagers will have a blast rappelling down a waterfall, horseback riding or gliding down the Superman lines on your family trip to Costa Rica. The list of great things to do in Costa Rica with kids is endless. It is easy to travel around Costa Rica with kids. Many families rent a car. They are fairly cheap and you can get a GPS to help you navigate. You can also rely on taxis (as we did). Most hotels will be happy to arrange airport pickup and transportation to the activities. Most day tours will provide transportation from your hotel and back. You can also take the Interbus which is a tourist bus with door to door transportation between cities. We used this to travel between La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio as it was much cheaper then a taxi. We had the bus to ourselves for most of the trip and the driver even stopped for bathroom breaks. The weather in Costa Rica is a mix of sun and rain. Some areas have more of a rainy season then others. Be sure to pack raincoats for everyone and a couple pairs of shoes in case they get wet -nothing worse than soggy shoes! Rain boots are also a good idea if you plan to do any rainforest hikes on your Costa Rica family vacation as they can get quite muddy. The boots will also provide protection from bugs and other jungle critters. Be sure to sample the delicious
Costa Rican food
on your travels. Your kids will love the sweet melons, papayas and pineapple. Fried plantain are also a great snack. Gallo pinto will soon be your kids favorite- mine couldn't get enough of it! and here is one for the kids!
