What people love about Costa Rica Tours in November
- Costa Rica Quest
I went on the G Adventures 9 day Costa Rica Quest tour. Our guide, Daniel, was great. Helpful and professional the whole time. Accommodations were sufficient except for spotty wifi. Also, there wasn't any hot water in Quepos but it wasn't a huge issue since it's so hot and humid there, a cold shower kind of felt nice. Other than that, the activities were great. The whole trip went smoothly. Overall, I had a great time. My one recommendation is to bring clothes for cold and hot weather. Monteverde was quite cold (for this Californian at least) and I wished I had brought a few more sweaters. Pura Vida!
We had the most fantastic guide Angie on our recent intrepid tour she was extremely knowledgable about the country and the plants animals and birds. She was a pleasure to spend time with and went out of her way to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Costa Rica Experience
- Journeys: Explore Costa Rica National Geographic Journeys
We really enjoyed the diversity of the locations visited and the wildlife that we saw on the tour. The tour was very well planned, the guide was excellent, and the included activities were great. We are in our mid-20s and were the youngest people on our tour (a few under 50 but most were 50+) but we still had an amazing experience.
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.
