Couples tend to pick our tours that mix active moments with quiet time together. The most popular routes start at Arenal's hot springs then move to Monteverde's cloud forests for private walks spotting rare quetzals. Many love doing active mornings - zip-lining or volcano hikes - followed by relaxed afternoons soaking in thermal pools. The Pacific coast portion gets special mentions, with sunset sailing and secluded beaches at Manuel Antonio. Homestays give couples time with local families while keeping private space and also joining in to cook traditional dishes together.

What people love about Costa Rica Tours for Couples
- From Arenal to the Caribbean Coast
Amazing. Love the hot springs., views of the volcano and friendliness of the people.
- Tropical Costa Rica 5 Days, Short Break
Besides beautiful scenery our guides were excellent, friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable about areas toured and Costa Rica in general. Very reasonable cost
- Volcanoes, Nature and Caribbean
Parts of the tour are quieter than one may expect. This could of course be due to the fact that I traveled during a pandemic.
What our customers ask about Romantic Costa Rica Trips & Honeymoon Packages
Which areas in Costa Rica are best suited for a romantic getaway?
You'll find some really special spots in Costa Rica for a romantic trip. The Arenal Volcano area is a favorite - imagine relaxing in your own hot spring pool at Arenal Springs while looking out at the volcano. In Manuel Antonio, you can stay at places like Parador Resort where your room overlooks the Pacific Ocean and you're surrounded by jungle. Up in Monteverde, the cloud forest creates this magical mood that's perfect for couples - try a place like Fonda Vela Hotel where you can cozy up in the mountains. One of our travelers put it well: "The thermal hot springs and volcano views in Arenal created the perfect romantic atmosphere."
What's the best time of year for couples to visit Costa Rica?
The nicest weather is during the dry season from December to April - you'll get plenty of sun for beach days and outdoor activities. If you want the best views of Arenal volcano, plan your trip between December and March. To avoid crowds and save some money, think about visiting Manuel Antonio from May to November. You can do activities in the morning and spend romantic afternoons relaxing. If you're heading to the Caribbean side like Puerto Viejo or Tortuguero, September and October are usually the driest months. Many of our travelers say February is perfect, with temperatures around 75-85°F (24-29°C).
What are the most romantic destinations included in Costa Rica couples tours?
You'll fall in love with places like Tamarindo and Samara Beach, where you can watch beautiful sunsets together. The Arenal area is really special - there's something magical about seeing the volcano while soaking in natural hot springs at places like Arenal Springs Resort. Manuel Antonio is great too because you get both jungle and beach - you can stay at nice hotels like Parador Resort where you're right by the ocean but also see monkeys and sloths in the trees around you.
What romantic activities can couples expect on these tours?
There are so many ways to spend quality time together. You can take a sunset boat ride in Tamarindo, get a couples massage by the hot springs in Arenal, or walk hand in hand through the misty Monteverde Cloud Forest. As one of our travelers said: "The hot springs at Arenal were incredibly romantic, especially at sunset." You'll also find nice restaurants for dinner dates, and plenty of quiet beaches like Samara where you can have some private time together.
What types of accommodations are available for couples in Costa Rica?
You'll find everything from cozy boutique hotels to fancy resorts. At Tabacon Resort in Arenal, you get your own hot spring pools and spa treatments. In Manuel Antonio, places like Shana By The Beach Hotel give you rooms with ocean views that are perfect for couples. One of our travelers mentioned: "The rooms were all nice, even the smallest room we had was more than adequate. Presentation of food was consistently nice and remember pace and food service is a little slower paced."
What's the ideal duration for a couples tour in Costa Rica?
Eight to ten days hits the sweet spot for most couples. This gives you enough time to see the best romantic spots like Arenal, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio without feeling rushed. Popular trips like the Costa Rica Nature Adventure take 8 days, which lets you see all the highlights while still having free time to spend together.
