What people love about Costa Rica Tours in February
- Costa Rica: Ocean Waves & Sunsets
This tour exceeded all my expectations! I was able to book on to any activity I wished to do very easily with maximum help, guidance and reassurance from my terrific guide! The trip was fun, informative and gave me a real sense of what Costa Rica is all about. I was exceptionally lucky with my group as we all got on so well. Alan recommended many places to go to eat and often booked tables for us in advance if we requested so! He arranged transportation for us to the airport and if anyone in the group had any kind of problem Alan was the first person to come to help. I would recommend this tour to anyone, couples, solo travellers, people travelling for the first time ect...everyone is made to feel so welcome! 10/10!
We had a wonderful time! Everything went smoothly, our tour guides and drivers were friendly and knowledgeable, and each of the places we visited was amazing. Highly recommend!
Tropical Costa Rica 5 Days, Short Break
- Volcanoes, Nature and Caribbean
Parts of the tour are quieter than one may expect. This could of course be due to the fact that I traveled during a pandemic.

Peak tourist season hits its stride in February especially in beach destinations like Manuel Antonio and Tamarindo. Tourism data shows February visitor numbers rise about 20% above average monthly levels.

One TourRadar traveler noted: "Despite being peak season we still found peaceful spots in Manuel Antonio National Park."
What are the best locations to visit in Costa Rica during February?
The dry season makes February an excellent time to explore Costa Rica's diverse regions from Arenal Volcano National Park to Tortuguero National Park and the Pacific beaches. Clear skies provide exceptional visibility at Monteverde Cloud Forest. Recommended stays include Casa Luna Hotel & Spa near Arenal or Turtle Beach Lodge in Tortuguero. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We had amazing wildlife viewing in Tortuguero and perfect conditions for hiking around Arenal Volcano - February offered the best combination of locations."
Are accommodations more expensive in Costa Rica during February?
Peak season pricing in February means hotel rates typically run 20-30% higher than low season. Top-tier properties like Arenal Kioro or Tabacón Hot Springs Resort command $300-500 USD nightly while mid-range options such as Hotel Poco a Poco in Monteverde or Casa Luna in Arenal range from $150-250 USD. Advance bookings are crucial as rooms fill quickly during this popular month.
What are the best outdoor activities available in Costa Rica during February?
The dry weather creates ideal conditions for outdoor adventures across Costa Rica. Visitors can enjoy white-water rafting on the Pacuare River zip-lining through Monteverde Cloud Forest and hiking in Arenal Volcano National Park.

As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "February offered perfect conditions for the zip-line tour in Monteverde and the wildlife spotting was incredible."
