Our Costa Rica Family Holiday

Lili had such an enjoyable holiday to Costa Rica that she wrote this lovely account for us! In addition to wildlife watching, she also enjoyed the range of exhilarating activities on offer including rafting and zipwiring through the rainforest.

Although the plane trip to Costa Rica was a long 11-hour flight, it was worth it as the plane had a wide variety of games and films! When we arrived in Costa Rica it was so sunny, and warm and just felt amazing. All the lovely hotels/places we stayed in felt welcoming and safe.

Lili in the Costa Rican rainforest Some of my favourite parts of the trip included white water rafting (you get to have a stop for a break with some tropical fruit and have a chance to jump off a small cliff) and going on a huge zipline through the jungle (where you get to see lots of wildlife and great views of the lake.) Something else I enjoyed was going on a great bike ride to see a beautiful view of a volcano over a river.

Lili & family rafting in Costa Rica Oh and don’t let me forget the amazing tour boats we went on to see some amazing animals. Just to name a few we saw: sloths (2 & 3 toed), an eagle, toucans (yellow-throated and keel-billed), a kingfisher, bottlenose dolphins and crocodiles. That’s not even all that we saw though as on a wildlife jungle walk we saw an armadillo, tarantulas (orange mouth & knee), leaf cutter ants and … monkeys! (Spider monkeys, white-faced monkeys and howler monkeys). There are so many more animals than these too - you won't want to miss out! Sloth in Costa Rica
