Costa Rica Wildlife Trips

Highlights of our Wildlife Tours

What will a wildlife itinerary include?

The intense biodiversity that characterizes Costa Rica makes it impossible to do any tour (whether three days or three months) without seeing an amazing mix of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and marine life. That's why the tours featured here highlight wildlife, but are not strictly wildlife tours.

Your Adventure Life itinerary might also include excursions like: snorkeling, kayaking, whitewater rafting, hiking, horseback riding, ziplining, just to name a few.

Do I need to be a wildlife expert?

Not at all. Even rookie nature fans will be able to appreciate this country's rich biodiversity, and the expert naturalist guides that accompany you throughout the trip will make it easy to spot and identify which animals you encounter.
