What people love about Costa Rica Tours in February
- Costa Rica Quest
The tour and our tour guide as a whole was great! However, the choice of hotels were not the best. That would be the only thing I would change.
- Journeys: Explore Costa Rica National Geographic Journeys
We had a diverse group of people of 16 from Canada, US and UK. Ages ranged from 40s to 70s. Our "CEO", Jeff Young, did an excellent job identifying each of our skills and interests. He made recommendations along the way and was always engaging. His knowledge of Costa Rica, the culture, the birds, the wildlife, the history, etc. was amazing and something I want to further read about once I return home. We were most impressed by differences in the areas we explored and loved our experience.
- Costa Rica Experience
I thought this trip was fantastic and was one of the best of my life. I felt we got a great overview of much of the country and a good feel for the culture and people as well as the sights. Brian was an incredible leader. The pace was perfect and we did so many great things and saw so much wildlife. The homestay was definitely a highlight and exceeded my expectations. Our group was small and diverse and friendly and awesome. I really can't say enough good things about this trip. It was my first with intrepid and I can't wait for my next one with them.

How crowded are Costa Rica's tourist destinations in February?
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.

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."
