Private itineraries - your dates, your hand picked travel companions
Even on short notice Serendipity can operate your trip to Costa Rica with all the adventures we list in our web site.
Arenal is almost always active - but you need the right 4x4 to see the action
Serendipity designs and operates your Costa Rica vacation around your skills, your priorities, your travel dates, your preferences for hotels and meals. We can challenge three generation families, or your executive group, or even just two people wanting to escape for a few days. Serendipity vacations means unique adventures - from climbing trees to rappelling waterfalls, from riding horses to rafting pristine white water, from spotting wild things --in the wild-- to watching volcanoes boom and sparkle.
Take a look at our Private Family Itineraries, which we list samples of the kinds of trips we offer for families up to 15 people - and as few as three. Or look at our adventure vacations, where you can go extreme or soft. Serendipity's excellent private naturalist guides make us the choice for a nature vacation experienced in a very different fashion than the tour buses offer. With private activities you have flexibility on how soft or hard, how long or short, depending on your goals. Expert bikers or almost beginner -- we can challenge everyone. Never ridden a horse, or climbed a tree, or rappelled a waterfall or run a white water river? Not a problem -- Serendipity has ways to organize and operate your vacation so everyone can be part of every adventure. We can even help you vanquish your fear of snakes or bugs or heights.

ACCOMMODATIONS: While we have inspected and rated over 200 hotels in Costa Rica, Serendipity has about 30 favorites ranging from the south Pacific to Arenal to the north and south Caribbean. For families we prefer places where the kids can move about freely, where they are welcome, but not where they are pushed into a "children's section" out of the way from adults. Serendipity standards for hotels is security, quiet and comfortable, supremely clean, good bedding, and warm yet professional service.
MEALS: Some of the best time on a Serendipity trip is sharing stories at the dinner table, while eating picnics we pac, or simple snacks (fruit, juice, local style of chips and cookies) while driving back roads to the next adventure. Lunch (granola bars and fresh fruit) while playing Tarzan in a jungle brook. Or dinner at a cowboy cantina. You call the shots -- what restaurant, what style of food, dine by candlelight or go to places the locals hang out. Eat accompanied by your Serendipity guide as your translator, or the kids stay with your Serendipity guide while you slip off for a romantic dinner. The only thing you will not get with Serendipity is -- boring or buffet line dining.
Your whole family will talk about your Serendipity Costa Rica family vacation for years to come. We promise you, no compromises on discovery.
