Costa Rica has built its national identity around protecting what it has — nearly a quarter of its land sits inside some form of protected area — and this eight-day tour moves through four of the country's most distinct ecosystems to show students exactly why that commitment matters. The itinerary is deliberately shaped as a transect: from the canal waterways of Tortuguero on the Caribbean coast, up through the lava fields around Arenal Volcano, into the perpetual mist of the Monteverde Cloud Forest, and finally down to the Pacific shores of Manuel Antonio. No other tour route in Central America covers that range in a single week.

On the left, the public Trustpilot reviews any group leader can write — and any future group leader can read. On the right, quotes from the private post-tour evaluation that every group leader fills out after their trip ends. See all teacher evaluations.
Reviews on Trustpilot are public and verified. Trustpilot prohibits companies from paying to have them removed — so what teachers say here is exactly what teachers said about traveling with Passports.
Read every review on Trustpilot“I can not say enough about the excellent staff at Passports! They made organizing and executing this trip a breeze! It was so well organized and accommodating — I would totally recommend Passports as the tour company for student travel.”
“Passports, I cannot begin to thank you enough for helping craft such a spectacular tour! Being a theatre educator, having some arts experiences was important to me — and you delivered. My students and I were talking about the workshop for days! Josephine and the Mouse Singer at the Greek National Opera House was unlike anything my students or I had experienced before.”
