LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS COSTA RICA

NATURAL RICHES

A treasure house of natural riches, Costa Rica is blessed with misty cloud forests, raging rivers, fiery volcanoes and two beautiful coastlines. Add to the mix an extraordinary profusion of wildlife, and it is little surprise that a quarter of the country enjoys national park status. Let our experts introduce you to the best that this destination has to offer.

Nestling between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Costa Rica’s compact size and eco-friendly accommodation make it a fabulous destination for a wide range of tailor made holidays.Claiming around 5% of the world’s total biodiversity, the country is a living classroom of natural history. Speak to our Costa Rica travel specialists about a wildlife holiday, and you could find yourself gliding along the forested waterways of Tortuguero National Park, keeping an eye out for turtles, toucans and tiger herons. Or following the quiet walking trails that weave through the dense jungle of Corcovado National Park – a haven for oversized butterflies, tapirs and jaguars.

Costa Rica | Macaw | The Ultimate Travel Company

From the thrills and spills of white-water rafting to zip-lining through the rainforest canopy, Costa Rica offers a full menu of outdoor pursuits and high-octane experiences. One day you could be photographing exotic birds in the beautiful Monteverde Cloud Forest, and the next, crossing a hanging bridge over a giddying chasm in Arenal Volcano National Park.

And when you’ve done all the hard work in the lush interior, you can head to the coast to dip your toes in either the Pacific or the Caribbean. The former has fine beaches, world-class surf breaks and swimmable bays, whilst the latter allures with its laidback coastal towns, turtle spotting and snorkelling. Our luxury holidays to Costa Rica certainly do not come off the peg. Get in touch with The Ultimate Travel Company to start planning your trip.

WHY CHOOSE US

TRUSTED BY FELLOW TRAVELLERS

Testimonal 7
“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Testimonial 6
“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
