What people love about Costa Rica Tours in February
- Volcanoes, Nature and Caribbean
Well organized, timely pick ups from the hotels, tour guides are very knowledgeable, timely communication with tour agency, hotels via WhatsApp and TourRadar message box. Tour itself was very interesting, informative, particularly for nature lovers. Monkeys, snakes, caimans, birds, iguanas, etc - all in proximity, however you are safe because the tour guide is with you. Tours are adjusted and conducted according to weather conditions, so you will not miss it. Thank you.
- Mystic Waterfalls & Forests Of Costa Rica
Great excursions with a balance of leisurely tours and tours requiring more effort. Also a good variety of places we stayed varying between more authentic Costa Rican to resort style.
- Exotic Costa Rica
Very well organized, we appreciated all the hard work you put into each section of the trip. I could highly recommend this trip to my friends!

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."
