Surfing Paradise

For surf enthusiasts, Costa Rica is nothing short of a paradise. Known globally for its consistent waves and stunning surf spots, this Central American gem offers conditions suitable for all levels of surfers.

The warm waters, breathtaking scenery, and vibrant surf culture make it an ideal destination for couples looking to ride the waves together while creating unforgettable memories.

Eco-Friendly Tourism

Costa Rica is a pioneer in eco-tourism, making it a top choice for environmentally conscious honeymooners. The country’s dedication to sustainability is evident in its extensive protected areas, which cover more than a quarter of its landmass. National parks, wildlife refuges, and biological reserves are meticulously maintained to preserve the rich biodiversity and natural beauty of the region. By choosing Costa Rica, you are not only ensuring a magical honeymoon but also supporting conservation efforts that protect this incredible environment for future generations. 

At Green Circle Experience, we take this commitment further by offering eco-friendly accommodations and activities, ensuring your honeymoon is as kind to the planet as it is memorable for you.

Experience the adrenaline rush of white-water rafting on the Pacuare or Sarapiquí rivers. The Pacuare River is often rated as one of the world’s top rafting destinations, offering thrilling rapids set against the backdrop of pristine rainforest. The journey down the river takes you through remote, untouched regions where you can spot exotic wildlife such as toucans, monkeys, and sloths. Similarly, the Sarapiquí River provides an exhilarating ride with its combination of calm sections and exciting rapids, perfect for both beginners and experienced rafters. Surrounded by lush vegetation and stunning scenery, rafting in Costa Rica is not just an adventure but a journey into the heart of nature.

Canopy Tours

Fly through the treetops on a zip-line canopy tour, where you’ll get a bird’s-eye view of the rainforest and its diverse wildlife. Costa Rica is famous for its canopy tours, which offer a thrilling way to explore the dense jungles. Glide from platform to platform high above the ground, marveling at the panoramic views of the lush greenery below. As you zip through the canopy, keep an eye out for colorful birds, playful monkeys, and other rainforest inhabitants. This unique perspective allows you to experience the vibrant ecosystem in a way that’s both exciting and educational, making it a perfect activity for adventurous couples.

Bungee Jumping

For the ultimate thrill, take a leap of faith with a bungee jump over stunning natural landscapes. Costa Rica’s bungee jumping spots, such as the ones over the Pacific coast or deep river gorges, offer breathtaking views and an unforgettable adrenaline rush. Imagine standing on the edge of a towering platform, the beauty of the surrounding nature in full view, before taking a heart-pounding plunge into the void. This exhilarating experience is ideal for daring couples looking to add an extreme adventure to their honeymoon, creating a shared memory that is as exhilarating as it is unique.

Spas and Relaxation

Unwind in luxury at eco-friendly spas that offer a range of treatments designed to rejuvenate both body and mind. After a day filled with adventure, retreat to a serene spa where you can indulge in treatments such as volcanic mud baths, hot stone massages, and herbal facials. Costa Rica’s natural resources, such as thermal springs and rich volcanic soil, are often incorporated into spa treatments, providing a truly unique and relaxing experience. These spas are often set in stunning locations, allowing you to relax amidst the beauty of nature. Enjoy a couple’s massage with the sounds of the rainforest in the background, or soak in a hot spring with a view of a volcano, ensuring your honeymoon includes ample time for rest and rejuvenation.

When planning your honeymoon in Costa Rica, it’s important to pack smartly to ensure you’re prepared for both adventure and relaxation. Here are some packing tips specifically for honeymooners and surfers:

• Surf Gear: If you’re an avid surfer, consider bringing your own surfboard, though many local surf shops offer rentals. Don’t forget a rash guard to protect your skin from the sun and surf wax suitable for tropical waters.
• Clothing: Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for warm days, including swimsuits, cover-ups, and casual beachwear. Include moisture-wicking activewear for hiking and other outdoor activities. For cooler evenings and higher elevations, bring a light jacket or sweater.
• Footwear: Bring comfortable hiking shoes, water shoes for rafting or waterfall hikes, and flip-flops or sandals for the beach and casual outings.
• Sun Protection: Costa Rica’s sun can be intense, so pack a high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and lip balm with SPF. Consider reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life.
• Insect Repellent: To avoid bug bites, especially in rainforest areas, bring a good insect repellent. Long-sleeved shirts and pants can also help protect against insects during hikes and nature walks.
• Personal Items: Don’t forget essentials like travel-sized toiletries, a reusable water bottle, a first-aid kit, and any necessary medications. A waterproof bag or dry bag can be handy for keeping valuables safe during water activities.

Health and Safety

Staying safe and healthy during your honeymoon is crucial for an enjoyable experience. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Stay Hydrated: The tropical climate can be hot and humid, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Carry a reusable water bottle and refill it regularly.
• Sun Safety: Apply sunscreen generously and frequently, especially after swimming or sweating. Wear protective clothing and seek shade during the peak sun hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Follow Local Advice: Listen to local guides and follow their advice, especially during activities like surfing, hiking, and wildlife tours. They know the area well and can help ensure your safety.
• Health Precautions: Be aware of the local health guidelines and take necessary precautions. It’s a good idea to check for any required vaccinations or health advisories before your trip.
• Wildlife Safety: Respect the local wildlife and keep a safe distance. Avoid feeding or touching animals, and follow the guidance of your tour guides.

Sustainable Practices

As you enjoy your honeymoon, consider adopting eco-friendly habits to minimize your environmental impact:

• Reduce Plastic Use: Bring a reusable water bottle, shopping bags, and containers to reduce reliance on single-use plastics. Many ecolodges and local shops offer refill stations for water.
• Respect Nature: Stick to designated trails and paths during hikes and nature walks to protect the natural environment. Avoid picking plants or disturbing wildlife.
• Support Local: Choose locally owned accommodations, restaurants, and tour operators to support the local economy. Purchase souvenirs made by local artisans.
• Energy Conservation: Be mindful of your energy use by turning off lights, air conditioning, and electronics when not in use. Opt for accommodations that utilize renewable energy sources.
