What people love about Costa Rica Tours in November
- Costa Rica: Ocean Waves & Sunsets
My week in Costa Rica was the time of my life.
- 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.
- Arenal Volcano & Monteverde Cloud Forest Costa Rica, the perfect combination
Every hotel we stayed in was fantastic. The tour guides were all very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The itinerary was very good, as it left us free time to explore the different areas every day, while and the transportation was always right on time for every pick up. The only thing that wasn't fantastic was the boat ride across the lake. The itinerary stated we would travel with an informed guide that would talk to us about the area, but it was just a taxi ride in a boat across the lake. The professionals in the boat never said a word to us once.
What our customers ask about Costa Rica Tours in November 2025
What is the weather like in Costa Rica during November?
November signals Costa Rica's shift from wet to dry season with regional variations throughout the country. Visitors to Arenal and Monteverde can expect temperatures between 75-85°F with scattered afternoon showers. The Caribbean coastline near Tortuguero maintains its characteristic humidity punctuated by quick rain bursts while Pacific shores begin to dry out. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The weather was amazing even during shoulder season allowing us to fully enjoy activities like hiking in Arenal Volcano National Park and relaxing at Manuel Antonio's beaches."
What unique wildlife can I spot in Costa Rica during November?
Tortuguero National Park offers prime wildlife viewing with more than 350 bird species alongside monkeys sloths and crocodiles. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve home to 2.5% of global biodiversity provides regular sightings of quetzals toucans and howler monkeys. One TourRadar reviewer shared: "We saw countless species in Tortuguero including three different types of monkeys toucans and even baby sea turtles making their way to the ocean."
What are the advantages of visiting Costa Rica in November?
The benefits of a November visit include fewer tourists easier bookings at sought-after properties like Arenal Kioro and Monteverde Country Lodge and lower prices than peak season. Animals are particularly active during this time making wildlife spotting more frequent. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "November was perfect - we got great deals on accommodations and enjoyed many activities without the crowds."
What kind of accommodation options are available in November?
Accommodations range from basic hostels to high-end resorts. Popular choices include the Arenal Kioro or Arenal Springs Resort near the volcano Turtle Beach Lodge in Tortuguero and Hotel Poco a Poco in Monteverde. As one TourRadar reviewer noted: "The accommodations were beautiful from rustic eco-lodges in Tortuguero to upscale resorts in Arenal."
What are the best activities to do in Costa Rica in November?
The month provides ideal conditions for rafting the Pacuare River hiking Arenal Volcano National Park and exploring Monteverde Cloud Forest. Additional options include soaking in hot springs near Arenal Volcano and taking boat tours through Tortuguero's waterways. Hotels like Arenal Manoa offer easy access to both volcano hikes and hot springs according to TourRadar travelers.
Are there any special events or festivals in Costa Rica during November?
Cultural celebrations fill November beginning with Día de los Muertos on November 2nd followed by the vibrant Limon Carnival on the Caribbean coast celebrating Afro-Caribbean heritage. San José hosts local festivals featuring traditional music dance and cuisine. The Park Inn San José often helps visitors arrange transportation to these cultural events.
What is the price range for accommodations in Costa Rica during November?
November rates trend lower than peak season. Basic hotels like Sleep Inn San Jose cost between 100-150 USD nightly while Monteverde eco-lodges range from 150-200 USD. Luxury properties such as Los Lagos resort & spa in Arenal typically charge 200-300 USD per night. Tour packages often include stays at properties like Lomas del Volcán or Turtle Beach Lodge providing better value than separate bookings.
