What people love about Costa Rica Tours in February
- Costa Rica Classic 12 Day - One Life Adventures
The tour was amazing!! Perfect balance of jungle and beaches! The volcano was impressive and the accommodation we stayed at on the first night was my favourite. We had angelica as our guide and she showed us so many animals and answered all our questions and her enthusiasm made the trip for me . The accommodation is quite basic but we were so busy it didn't matter. Every day we did so much even when we had free days there were so many options. Amber went above and beyond to make sure every part of the trip ran smoothly for us and we always knew what we were doing. I 100% reccomend this trip to anyone that wants to see costa rica and is interested in wildlife. Pura Vida!
- Classic Costa Rica (including Arenal Volcano National Park)
Our guide Pedro exceeded all expectations! A very complete tour going around Costa Rica, lots of different activities, early and late wake ups, quiet and busy days, physical and calm days, and hot and cold!
- Costa Rica Wildlife Tour
The tour leader and the driver were excellent, knowledgeable, endlessly patient and upbeat. Hotels were generally acceptable but not luxurious. La Baula Lodge was below par (both food and accommodations). Guayabo Lodge was too far from the included activities, but otherwise comfortable. El Faro Hotel would have been acceptable had I not been assigned the room under the kitchen, where noisy food preparation began at 5 a.m. I was a bit disappointed we didn’t see more animals in the parks, possibly because they were just too crowded. The weather (rain most days) may have impacted wildlife viewing also.
What our customers ask about Costa Rica Tours in February 2026
What is the weather like in Costa Rica during February?
February stands out as the driest and sunniest month in Costa Rica with optimal conditions in key destinations like Arenal and Manuel Antonio. A TourRadar traveler notes from her February trip: "The weather was perfect during our visit with warm days around 85°F in coastal areas like Manuel Antonio and comfortable mid-70s°F in mountainous regions like Monteverde." Coastal regions see extensive sunshine with 8-10 hours daily making it a prime time for outdoor activities from surfing at Tamarindo Beach to beachfront stays at Hotel Parador in Manuel Antonio.
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. Popular hotels like Los Lagos Resort in Arenal and Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort often reach capacity while more remote areas like the Monteverde Cloud Forest maintain a quieter atmosphere. 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. El Establo Mountain Hotel in Monteverde provides convenient access to canopy tours. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "February offered perfect conditions for the zip-line tour in Monteverde and the wildlife spotting was incredible."
What are the most popular tours available in Costa Rica during February?
February sees high demand for signature tours including the 11-day "Ultimate Escape" covering Rincon de la Vieja Arenal and Tortuguero and the 5-day "Tropical Costa Rica" featuring San Jose and Tortuguero National Park. The 9-day "Costa Rica Experience" also draws consistent bookings. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The February timing of our Ultimate Escape tour was perfect - great weather and excellent guides at every location."
