Overview

Not every good trip needs an early alarm. This 8-night Costa Rica itinerary is paced for travellers who would rather see two things properly than six in a hurry — short travel days, step-free sightseeing where we can arrange it, and rest built into every afternoon. Arenal volcano & hot springs and Monteverde cloud-forest zip-lining are in, at a comfortable pace, from ₹2,47,999 per person.

Dec – Apr is the sweet spot for Costa Rica (Central America), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 4★ (lift & step-free access) hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹2,47,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Costa Rica visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

Fantastic first trip abroad. The San José package was customised to our dates and budget, the 4★ (lift & step-free access) were lovely, and they even rebooked one activity when the weather changed. Five stars.

Great value for a 8-night San José trip. Clear communication before travel, GST invoice for our records, and genuine 24/7 support. This is how a holiday should be planned.

Booked the 8N/9D San José trip with Explera for our first trip abroad and it was flawless — 4★ (lift & step-free access), smooth transfers and a well-paced itinerary. Nothing to arrange ourselves, we just enjoyed.
