This eight-day Costa Rica itinerary moves your group through four genuinely distinct ecosystems — the urban energy of San José, the volcanic terrain around Arenal, the misty canopy of Monteverde Cloud Forest, and the Pacific beach community of Playa Hermosa de Jacó — giving students a rare chance to see how one small country holds so much biological and cultural variety. The through-line isn't any single landmark; it's the relationship between Costa Rica's people, its land, and the national identity built around protecting both. That perspective stays with students long after the motorcoach returns them to the airport on Day 8.

Read every review on Trustpilot“This was an outstanding tour experience from start to finish. The trip flowed extremely well, with strong attention to detail at every stage. Even when minor issues arose, they were addressed quickly and professionally, which reinforced confidence in the Passports team. I am very much looking forward to my next trip with Passports and would confidently recommend them to any educator.”
“When we switched to Passports from our previous travel company, we wanted two things: better food and less time on the bus. Passports exceeded our expectations! We loved having hotels where we could walk and didn't have to get on a bus. Even riding the subway in London was a fun experience!”
