Family Holidays in Costa Rica: find your perfect rental from just £22 per night!
The type of scenery and accommodation you will find during family holidays in Costa Rica depends on the part of the country you are visiting. If you are planning to bring along your kids, here are three attractions you cannot miss.
Want to have fun away from a big city like San Jose? Jaco Beach has all the comforts and amenities you can find in a metropolis, but with a pleasant seashore that is up to Costa Rica's standards. Ocean waves here are less dramatic, making surfing less tense compared to similar places along the coast, which means that swimming is safer for kids. Modern hotels, apartments, and shopping complexes are the main features that set Jaco apart from other coastal towns. You will find most retirees and expatriates residing in this area. In fact, visitors from the UK and other continents comfortably stay in such neighbourhoods as Esterillos and come to Jaco for dinner and shopping.
For hiking and nature adventures, Arenal is a perfect sightseeing spot. Watch one of the most active volcanoes on the planet, standing 5,000+ feet high: catch a glimpse of molten lava descending from the volcano; see the glowing rocks at the base. An avalanche of natural wonders, plus adventurous activities through volcanic soil, will leave your entire family thrilled. At the base of the mountain is Lake Arenal, where plentiful water play goes on. Kayak, fish, canoe, and paddle down the lake. To sweeten the deal further, check-in at the surrounding hot spring resorts and use the family-friendly swimming pools, complete with water slide!
Family holidays in Costa Rica are incomplete without turtle-spotting along the shore. Meet a dole of turtles making their way from the sea to the beaches of Tortuguero to lay eggs. The wildlife conserve is sandwiched between a tepid lagoon and volcanic beaches. Once you get to the wonderland, watch the endangered turtle species such as Loggerhead, Green sea turtle, Giant Leatherback, and Hawksbill as they lay eggs. The best times of the year to visit are February, April, July, October, November, and December because these are the nesting seasons.
