The 30 Best Things to do in Costa Rica: Photos, Travel Tips, and More!
After two plus weeks exploring and enjoying Costa Rica, I have nothing but admiration for this beautiful country. The sheer amount of thinuvigs to do in Costa Rica is staggering, and the beauty of the country has no bounds.
We got married here and then spent 11 days on our honeymoon, exploring Guanacaste, Manuel Antonio, Quepos, Uvita, La Fortuna, and Bajos Del Toro. It was an incredible trip, with tons of wildlife, great food, fun vibes, and more memories than I can count.
Whether you’re doing research for a Costa Rican trip already in motion, or found this article another way, Costa Rica is the place to be! I hope this shows you the best things to do in Costa Rica and points you toward a handful of really fun activities and places to see.

These are the Best Things to do in Costa Rica that I Personally Experienced
Things to do Around La Fortuna
1. Enjoying Hot Springs at Tabacon Resorts
We balled out for a day at Tabacon Thermal Resort and Spa (honeymoon splurge is more like it), and my gosh, was it perfect. There are 25+ pools throughout the property, and I bet we got into 12-15 of them. Thanks to abnormally cool conditions, we skipped the less-warm pools.
The full day-pass plus dinner cost my wife and me around $360. Normally, that would have been out of our price range. But as I said, we splurged.
The grounds around Tabacon are out of a fairy tale. Pristinely created and picturesque in every detail. Our only complaint was that we wished the water were a few degrees warmer! That said, this is easily one of the best things to do in Costa Rica.
A few tips if you want to go here:
- Put your directions to this location.
- I’d suggest wearing watershoes. I brought flip-flops that kept slipping off, and some of the pools have dirt/rocks.
- If you include the dinner, it’s very yummy, but not super fancy. My wife got dressed up, and then there were people in bathrobes nearby!
2. Zip Lining in La Fortuna
Our ziplining at Sky Adventures was a BLAST! While they say there are 7 ziplines, there are really only 5. The first is a very short warm-up, and the last is a short warm-down. Still, outside of that slight inaccuracy, Jaimie and I had an incredible time!
Everything I read said this was the best place to do it, and I have nothing to add that would change that viewpoint. You have stunning views of Lake Arenal, and we would have seen the volcano if it weren’t shrouded in clouds.
The only downside of the trip is that your group sizes are 10+. This means that you spend most of the time standing on the platform. It just felt a little like Disneyland, where the fun part is short, and the boring part takes over. I had just been ziplining in Rwanda with a smaller group, and it seemed to go faster/have more fun.
Still, it is what it is, and it’s worth it. Just keep that in mind.
Other things to know:
- We booked a guided hanging bridges tour that wasn’t necessary. I thought it was mandatory to pay to access it, and it wasn’t. She was nice and helped spot animals, but I think we could have saved $75.
- It’s about 30 minutes from downtown La Fortuna.
- We got lunch there. Cost about $23 each.
Here is another zipling option closer to La Fortuna:

3. White Water Rafting
What a CRAZY day on the white water. It rained heavily overnight before our trip, which increased the flow. The rapids were roaring, turning our class 3/4 trip into a 4+.
Even so, we had a blast! Our boat of five was soaked basically within 4 minutes, and our guide kept us safe as we navigated the river. With 99.9% of the trip behind us, the fast water pushed us into a rock, and four of the five of us were thrown out of the raft.
I was swept under, and as I came up, I realized the raft was above me. This obviously freaked me out. Thankfully, I was able to push it away from me and eventually came up to breathe. I have no idea how long I was under (possibly 8-10 seconds, though it felt longer), but it was a pretty scary experience.
Even with that scary ending, our trip with Arenal Rafting Company was thrilling and exhilarating. They do a good job, and I recommend a trip. I think it’s the best bang-for-your-buck thrill-seeking activity you can do in Costa Rica.
4. Wildlife Night Walk
This was another tour I was excited for. It was going to be the best (and maybe only) chance to see a red-eyed tree frog. But then again, wildlife is unpredictable, so who knows what you’ll see.
Well, within 6 minutes, we had our first red-eyed tree frog. And then more halfway through. Then, a pair together at the end. I was stoked! Overall, we saw seven frog species, a pit viper, a slot, and another animal I can’t remember the name of, but it’s in the raccoon family.
Our tour was at Papa’s Place with Birding Fortuna. Make sure you put this at the top of the list for the best things to do in Costa Rica.
5. Check out the Hanging Bridges
Most of the Costa Rican fanfare around the Hanging Bridges centers on Mystico in La Fortuna or in Monteverde’s Cloud Forest. We didn’t have enough time for those, so we did the small ones around Sky Adventures after ziplining. (They’re fine… nothing special.)
But I didn’t realize there are hanging bridges all over the place. Manuel Antonio has them, but you won’t get the misty conditions of the rain forest.
If you’re going to be in La Fortuna, do them there. But if your trip never touches that region, I think you’ll be able to find something similar in your neck of the woods.

5. Go Surfing in Tamarindo
This was at the top of my wife’s list of things to do in Costa Rica. I had had very limited experience surfing, so I had low expectations.
Surprisingly, it was AMAZING! Our instructors helped us a lot (and gave us a boost to catch the waves), and I stood up about 10 times. The only downside was that we came away with a lot of surf rashes.
So that hurt for a week. But the memories of surfing in Tarmarindo will never go away.
6. Take a Catamaran and go Snorkeling + Sunset Cruise
My family and I did this after my wedding in Playa Potrero. It was a gorgeous afternoon on the water. They took us into a cove to jump in. Some snorkeled, others just floated around. After that, they gave us a delicious meal, had drinks, and we enjoyed the setting sun.
If you enjoy being on the water, this is one of the best things to do in Costa Rica.
7. Blue Falls and Catarata Del Toro
The best hike of our entire Costa Rica trip.
This is far off the beaten path of most people, but if you’re looking for more adventure, this is the place to be. It’s not touristy (hardly any English spoken), and you get to experience impeccable waterfalls. I cannot wait to go back, and there are so many more to see in the area.
These two places are not on the same hike, but you can buy a combo ticket for $25 that gets you access to both areas. The parking areas are a quarter mile apart.
Catarata Del Toro
This is your first stop to buy or pick up tickets. We preordered them online here. We headed down the trail to Catarata Del Toro. The first part is relatively flat, with a couple of nice views from above.
Then the steep part begins. And I mean steep. It’s all steps, totally probably some 250 feet or so. They aren’t your standard stairs, though. They are probably 1.5x the normal height.
Eventually, mercifully, the stairs end, and you’re back on dirt for a bit as you wrap back around towards the waterfall. Here, you’ll reach your first viewpoint. It’s nice. Below is another viewpoint, which is even better.
And if you’re adventurous, you can go all the way to the base. But be careful, it’s wet, muddy, and slippery – sometimes all at once.
Catarata Del Toro is simply remarkable. It’s one of Costa Rica’s largest waterfalls, plummeting into an old volcanic crater. If you look closely, you’ll see the basalt columns on the walls around it. I was in awe at the view. I know most people don’t include this area on their Costa Rican itinerary, but I suggest spending a night or two.
In all, it’s 1.7 miles round trip with 540 feet of gain/loss. Lastly, hot dogs and burgers are available for $6-10. We had lunch here before moving on to Blue Falls.
Blue Falls
The rain that affected our white-water rafting was still falling in Bojos Del Toro. It rained the night before, which meant the waterfalls were roaring and the blue waters, caused by aluminum sulfate, were dimmed by the clouds as well.
But that didn’t stop us from doing the last thing on my Costa Rican bucket list. Of all of the things to do in Costa Rica, this was at the top!
However, I thought this was a much easier experience than it turned out to be. It’s technical by any means, but there is a ton of vertical gain in a short amount of time, thanks to very steep stairs.
I’ll have a dedicated post on this later, but I’ll share some highlights:
- La Pintada was gorgeous. The bend in the river was so pretty.
- Tepezquintle required you to go up and then down. But you also get to trek into a stunning canyon next to the river. This was our favorite. These falls have the largest drop, and they were roaring so hard that it was hard to take photos (and it was actively raining on us as well).
- We couldn’t access La Turquesa due to the water levels
- Las Gemelas has a second waterfall hidden to its left. It was raining hard on us at this point, too, so our stop was short.
It’s a bummer because photos in the sun make this place look magical.
Total Distance: 4.5 miles, 1,350 feet of elevation gain
8. Explore Manuel Antonio National Park
There’s so much to see and do in Manuel Antonio National Park (while also not having a lot to do.. if that makes sense). The wildlife is endless here, with monkeys, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and so much more.
We ended up going with a guide because it was the only way to get into the park that day. I’m not sure if you need to. Granted, we would have missed almost everything without the guide showing us. (Want to book a guide. Do it here.)
We were with the guide for about 90 minutes, which was plenty of time. Once we left him, we got to the beach and were in awe. Gorgeous. The water color, the landscapes, the trees. Everything was so pristine.
With the park closing at 4pm and rangers herding people off the beaches around 3:15, Jaimie and I didn’t have too long to enjoy the beach. (And we also had a 5-hour drive to La Fortuna.)
Planning to visit Manuel Antonio and Quepos?
Check out my top 21 things to do in the area.
9. Explore Ballena Marino National Park
This was another fun National Park to explore. Our Airbnb was a 4-minute bike ride to the entrance, which made for some super easy access. Low tide was around 8 am, so we spent the morning exploring the Whale’s Tail area and swimming in the ocean.
We even saw a couple of stingrays in the sand!
Even though we saw some massive whales breach out in the ocean, the highlight was tracking six macaws to a single tree. They were beautiful, and it was fun to watch them play around. Macaws are monogamous, so you always see them with their mate.
At the end of this list are a few more things to do in this area that we didn’t have time for.
On our final night, we got sushi from a nearby restaurant and enjoyed it on the beach. Afterwards, we jumped into the water and watched a majestic sunset unfold before our eyes.
10. Mangrove Kayaking Tour
This is a highly rated tour that I think most people would really enjoy – and we did too – but we didn’t love it.
I think it’s a combination of doing the afternoon tour with fewer wildlife sightings and us having very high expectations for wildlife excursions after trips to Maui to see humpbacks, Alaska to see brown bears, and living in Seattle and Santa Barbara with tons and tons of wildlife.
All of that said, this is one of the most peaceful tours I’ve done. We had birds chirping and leaves rustling as we floated through the green jungle. We saw iguanas, birds, bats, and a snake. If you do a morning tour, I think this is one of the better things to do in Costa Rica.
11. Soak up Beach Sunsets
We reveled in the sunsets along Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast. The best one was in Uvita, where the sky absolutely lit up and then reflected off the low tide. But almost every night in Guanacaste, Manuel Antonio, and Uvita had stunning sunsets.
They go fast, though. Because you’re close to the equator, the sun just sorta drops and goes away. So, don’t be late!
12. Eat Plenty of Seafood
We basically lived on seafood for the first 10 days in Costa Rica. It is so, so tasty. Salmon. Sea Bass. Tuna. Sushi. Lobster. The whole nine yards were consumed, and I miss it.
14. Visit Nauyaca Waterfall
One of the coolest waterfalls in the country. This was at the top of my list of best things to do in Costa Rica.
First, know that you have to pay to visit. Two companies have access to it. One’s an easier drive and the other a much longer one. I chose the longer one, not realizing you have a long dirt road to go down.
I can’t speak for the other one, but Nauyaca Waterfall Nature Park was incredibly professional. We booked a shuttle ride up and down ($38 pp) to save time since we arrived late.
The falls are stunning, and the water felt refreshing as we jumped in on a hot day. I recommend arriving around noon so you have enough time to savor the journey.
Don’t want to drive?
Book a tour and let them drive the steep, winding roads.
15. Get a Costa Rican Massage
I don’t know what they’re teaching in Costa Rica, but me gusto! I say this in a completely above-board way: the two massages I got in Costa Rica were superb. The first was at our wedding hotel, Bahia Del Sol Resort in Playa Potrero. The second was a couple’s massage in La Fortuna.
They don’t rush it; they use aromatherapy without charging more and create a calm, soothing environment. If you have the chance to get one on your vacation, jump at it!
16. Get Married and Honeymoon in Costa Rica!
Okay, this one is more niche, but if you’re thinking about where to get married or do your honeymoon, I HIGHLY recommend Costa Rica. It was incredible from start to finish.
Yes, we took a chance by not having visited Costa Rica prior, but our wedding planner was incredible, the hotel was magical, and it all went off without a hitch. Then our 11+ day honeymoon was 93% amazing. The other 7% are due to abnormally rainy weather in La Fortuna during the dry season.
Still, it was the best place to celebrate our love, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing (aside from more sunny days!).
More Options for the Best Things to Do in Costa Rica
Here are some things I saved on Google Maps. We just ran out of time (money??), but can’t wait to do these on our next trip! But as a professional photographer and outdoor lover, I find these incredibly cool and worthwhile.
This is mostly the West Coast and Central Costa Rica. I haven’t done any research into the Caribbean side, nor along the borders of Panama or Nicaragua. There’s so much to see and do in Costa Rica that you can come back again and again and never tire.
La Fortuna/Liberia
A few of these are among the most popular things to do in the area, but we don’t always like to go where the crowds are.
Take a combo tour to the hanging bridges, the waterfall, and the Arenal Volcano.
17. Arenal Volcano Hike
I wanted to do the Mirdor El Silencio hike, but after ziplining, it was raining, and we were pretty tired. We had also heard (and after my reading) that the hike is nice, but nothing overly special. Plus, we didn’t have views of the volcano anyway, so we passed.
Overall, it’s about 3.1 miles (a 5k) round trip.
18. La Fortuna Waterfall
One of the most popular waterfalls in Costa Rica, with over 100,000 visitors a year. We wanted to see it, but again, we ran out of time, and the weather wasn’t conducive. It doesn’t take long to see it, nor to hike to it.
I would recommend getting there early to soak it all in before the afternoon crowds arrive.
21. Water Day on Lake Arenal
Our goal was to do a half day on the water, either paddleboarding or kayaking, so we could get some great views of the Arenal Volcano. Welp, five straight days of clouds changed those plans. There are a few companies that let you rent jet skis, boats, kayaks, paddleboards, and more.
In case you were wondering, crocodiles are not common in the lake, and it’s considered safe to swim.
20. Poas Volcano
Another spot I had saved on my Google Maps, but our itinerary didn’t allow us the chance to head up to the volcano. It’s just north of San Jose (near Bajos Del Toro) and looks to be pretty unique. You’ll want a decently clear day to enjoy the views.
22. Rio Celeste Waterfall
One of Costa Rica’s bluest waterfalls and probably one of the best places to see in the country. It’s northwest of La Fortuna, a few hours away. We didn’t want to spend a full day visiting a waterfall when our Blue Falls trip was already planned.
This is a perfect place to go if you’re coming from Liberia and want to spend a night in between.
23. Tenorio Volcano National Park
To the northwest of La Fortuna and east of Libera, Tenorio Volcano National Park is home to the iconic Rio Celeste waterfall, diverse wildlife, and a wealth of other activities in the region. It was established in 1995 and is home to four volcano cones.
Check out tours from this area.
24. Rincón de la Vieja National Park
The closest national park to Liberia has plenty to do. Even though we flew into Liberia, we headed straight to the beach and our wedding festivities. We had friends who explored this area and enjoyed ziplining and wildlife. Supposedly, this volcano is still active, though it hasn’t erupted since 2017.
19. Explore Bajos Del Toro and its dozens of waterfalls
While we got to do Blue Falls and Caterata Del Toro, there are so many more waterfalls in this area that are ripe for adventure. It’s off the beaten path, and the road has the worst potholes I’ve ever seen. But a trip here is definitely worth it.
This is the non-tourist side of Costa Rica. Hardly any English and just pure nature. They are all on private land and require a message to the owners to gain access and pay a small fee.
Here’s a quick list of top waterfalls to see:
- Catarata Tesoro Escondido
- Catarata Caída del Cielo
- Quebrada Gata – want to hike this one? Book a tour guide here.
- Catarata Rio Barroso
- Cascada Pozo Azul
- Finca San Rafael
- Cataratas Finca Dos Ríos
- Catarata Río Agrio
25. Monteverde Cloud Forest
We were going back and forth on whether we should visit the Monteverde Cloud Forest, as we know it’s one of the best things to do in Costa Rica. Unfortunately, it was too much driving for us, as there’s no shortcut to La Fortuna.
It’s a 3-4 hour drive around Lake Arenal, and you get similar experiences to the hanging bridges around La Fortuna. Everyone says it’s fantastic. If you aren’t going to the coasts, it’s probably worth it!
26. Llanos del Cortés Waterfall
This is a stunning waterfall outside of Liberta on the way to La Fortuna. $7 to visit with bathrooms and changing areas. This is a great way to start your trip in Costa Rica.
Pacific Coast
These are the three things we really want to do on our next trip south. Read my full article on things to do in Manuel Antonio here.
27. Whale Watching in Uvita (Seasonally Dependent)
I love whale watching, and we honestly should have done it when we visited Uvita. The whales put on an incredible show, and I would have come away with phenomenal photos. This is definitely one of the best things to do in Costa Rica.
There are two whale seasons. From December to March, California whales come down to mate and give birth. Then, from July to October, Antarctic whales come up to do the same.
You’ll watch them on smaller boats (not like the big ones in Alaska or Hawaii). So you’ll have a more intimate experience.
Book your whale watching tour here.
28. Explore Corcovado National Park
Corcovado is the most biologically diverse place on earth. It features numerous animals, plants, trees, and other categories. However, it’s a pain to get out to. From Uvita, it’s another three-plus-hour drive.
You can fly into Drake Bay, which saves time, but it is more expensive. You can also take a boat from Uvita into the National Park. This turns into a FULL DAY excursion, so you’d better really want to go.
Book your boat tour here or a similar one here.
From the reviews, this seems to be hit-or-miss. It’s a choppy-ish boat ride, and you may not see much more wildlife than in Manuel Antonio. Or, you’ll have the time of your life.
29. Snorkeling out to Isla del Cano (Cano Island)
This is one of the best places to snorkel in Costa Rica! This rock island lies 19 miles offshore, offering pristine conditions and teeming with sea life. When we go back, this is at the top of our things to do in Costa Rica.
30. Bijagual Waterfall
Another waterfall I had on my list, but couldn’t get up here. This is one of the taller, more picturesque waterfalls in the region. It’s halfway between Jaco and Capulin. The map on their website shows it’s about a 2.2km hike to the waterfalls and swimming area. (That’s around 1.4 miles.)
Where to stay in Costa Rica?
We mostly stayed in Airbnbs, as they were far cheaper than the resorts. But we did splurge and stay at Parador Nature Resort and Spa. Let me tell ya, that place is incredible and so worth it! So much wildlife, stunning views, and exceptional hospitality.
All of our Airbnbs were phenomenal, and I can’t speak more highly of them. I’ve linked them below in case you’d like to stay there as well.
- Tamarindo Airbnb
- Uvita Airbnb
- La Fortuna Airbnb
- Bosque de Paz Eco Lodge in Bajos del Toro
- Hitlon Garden Inn at San Jose Airport

Helpful Tips for Traveling Around Costa Rica
Costa Rica is not a cheap Central American country
You’re not going to save any money by coming to Costa Rica. This place is built on American (and European) tourism, and they charge accordingly. If you eat at hotels, expect to pay typical prices in big cities.
Sure, you can find some meals in the $8-12 range, but that’s at Soda spots, and they generally don’t come with fruit or veggies. And at the luxury resorts, your meals will likely be in the $50-
80 range if you include a drink.
What is the conversion rate?
Building on the above, there really isn’t a conversion rate, because they charge in USD and then adjust the local Colones accordingly. So, it’s not like USD has a big advantage here.
But for those doing the math, generally speaking, as things can change over time, just double the Colon number, and it’ll be priced in USD. Ex: 3,500 Colon = $7 and 10,000 Colon = $20.
Is Costa Rica Safe?
Generally speaking, yes, it’s pretty safe. We never felt uneasy walking around, though when we left our belongings on the beach to swim, we had some worry. All of our Airbnbs had gates/security, which made us feel much safer. The hotels also have guards.
Should You Drive in Costa Rica?
We drove all over Costa Rica. We picked up our rental car in Tamarindo and drove it to Manuel Antonio and Uvita. Then we doubled back to La Fortuna, Bajos Del Toro, and dropped it off in San Jose.
I think driving there is completely fine. I was nervous about potholes, but honestly, the main roads are in fine shape. The worst part was Bajos Del Toro, but that may be by design to keep tourists out.
Total Cost for 10 days was $880.
A few things to note:
- Look at the drive time, not the miles. You’re not in the US, where 60 miles = 55 minutes. 60 miles = 100 minutes. The fastest I got up to was 90 km/h, and that was around Uvita.
- The roads are slow because they’re almost entirely one-way in each direction, with no turn lanes or exit ramps.
- Everyone said to use Waze, but Google Maps worked just fine, and I don’t think you can download Waze offline.
- Driving at night wasn’t a big deal. But either Costa Ricans always use brights, or they have incredible headlights because it’s very bright.
- Costa Rica has some of the steepest roads I’ve ever driven. Coming out of Bajos Del Toro will blow your mind.
- Driving allows you to go at your own pace and check off all the top things to do in Costa Rica as you please.
How’s the food?
The food was pretty good! Sure, there’s a lot of rice and beans, but it’s flavorful. But there’s also a ton of variety. As I mentioned above, we ate a lot of seafood. I believe a lot has changed in the last 20+ years when it comes to visiting Costa Rica, and those who did it decades ago will be very surprised.
Can you drink the water in Costa Rica?
Yup! It’s clean and good to drink from the tap. However, the water in Guanacaste, locals told us, contains more sediment that may upset your stomach.
The first few days there, I drank tap water and had some minor bowel issues. I then switched to bottled/filtered water. Once we left, everything was smooth sailing.
Do you need a visa coming from the United States?
Nope! No Visa is needed to enter Costa Rica from the United States. It was incredibly smooth going through customs, especially at the Liberia Airport, which is far smaller than San Jose.
Are there nonstop flights to Costa Rica?
Yes! It’s surprisingly easy to get here from the US. Denver, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, and New England have direct flights. From Denver, it’s only a 5.5-hour flight. Basically the same for Chicago.
What are the two main Costa Rican Airports?
The two main airports are in Liberia (Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport) and San Jose (Juan Santamaría International Airport). Liberia’s airport is more of a municipal-style affair, small and no-frills. The San Jose airport is the main hub, looking like a typical large-city airport in America.
The five things I recommend above all
If I had to narrow down the best of the best things to do in Costa Rica, it would be these:
- Go White Water Rafting – High thrill, great bang for your buck.
- Nauyaca Waterfalls – Beautiful waterfall. Get there around noon to really enjoy yourself.
- Blue Falls hike – Incredible waterfalls and blue waters. Might be the best waterfall hike I’ve done.
- Ziplining at Sky Adventures – Flying over canyons was exhilarating. Usually, you can see the volcano. We had clouds.
- Full day at Manuel Antonio – Wildlife. Pristine Beaches. Perfect weather. What’s not to like?!
Final Thoughts on Experiencing the best things to do in Costa Rica
Visiting Costa Rica was a dream! It honestly wasn’t that high on my travel list before Jaimie brought it up for our wedding and honeymoon. (I’m more of a mountains guy.) But holy smokes, this place rocks!
The wildlife is impressive, waterfalls serene, forests peaceful, people kind and generous, and beaches tranquil. It was simply phenomenal. As you can see, there are so many things to do in Costa Rica, and I have hardly scratched the surface.
Thank you for reading this comprehensive guide on my travels across the country. I hope you have an incredible time as well.
Until next time, adventurers, stay safe.
