About Serendipity’s Costa Rica Vacations

Why Serendipity’s Costa Rica Vacations are so extraordinary

The best of Costa Rica is what we “natives” have discovered, away from massive tourist enclaves. And we know how to get there, where to stay, and what to do in each area.

On our fully guided premium trips, our promise is to allow you and your chosen companions to involve yourself in Costa Rica, to experience more than the adrenaline of the adventure or a bus window view of nature. Learn to read the river. Learn how volcanoes grow. Learn about the ecology, the economy, the society, the way of life here in Costa Rica. Most important, learn more about yourself — try on new skills, pass on your experience to your friends and family.

No wasted time. No lines. No buses. On our premium trips, we take you — by foot, 4×4, boat, balloon, horseback, raft, ropes and cables, ATV’s — to the most undisturbed places, without crowds, without compromises. We promise you camaraderie, safety, amazing adventures, quiet nature, comfortable accommodations, and good, fresh food. We promise you won’t be bored. And we promise you’ll never forget your Serendipity Costa Rica vacation. Call us and tell us what kind of vacation you are interested in. The first step to enjoying a Serendipity Costa Rica vacation is to contact us.

So much more than simply a custom departure date

To Serendipity, premium means premium — it means having a private, dedicated Serendipity adventure leader who is with you from start to finish, a 4WD vehicle for the exclusive use of your group for the duration of your trip, private rafts and bikes, private hiking locations and access to nature and horseback trails and observation platforms. You are not along on someone else’s tour; you are not following someone else’s agenda. Your timetable is your own invention. This is your Costa Rica expedition. Serendipity offers exceptional 2 to 21-day adventure and naturalist vacations exclusively in Costa Rica, designed around your interests, skills, and style of travel for private self-formed groups. We also offer concierge service and/or help to book independent trips.

Serendipity’s standards for our signature adventures

✔ Our business practices come from a USA-based foundation of the need for security and contingency planning.

✔ Serendipity has the size, experience, and infrastructure to guarantee your Costa Rica vacation will meet your expectations.

✔ We own our adventure and transportation equipment and maintain it to a higher standard than anyone in Costa Rica. 

✔ All of our guides have certification in First Aid and CPR, and additional training for everything from swift water rescue and vertical rescue to conflict resolution to geology and ecology.

✔ Each vehicle leaves our warehouse with an extensive, current, and well-equipped first-aid kit, and vehicle emergency equipment. We also take along lots of “stuff” to make each trip more comfortable — everything from insect repellant, dry towels, and bottled water to towing straps, flashlights, and disposable raincoats for everyone.

✔ Serendipity has no allegiance to any hotel or tour or restaurant. We’re not driven by commissions from service providers. We have infinite opportunities to seek out the most interesting and appropriate places for you, based on what you want.
