It's Your Costa Rica Vacation...

... with your hand-picked companions and Serendipity guides. Your priorities for adventure or nature, for luxury or simplicity. That's how Serendipity designs and operates your Costa Rica trip.

Private, Fun, and a Touch of Luxury

Serendipity Costa Rica vacations are exhilarating, stimulating, and life expanding. You'll never have another vacation as invigorating, as easy to plan or as smoothly operated as your private, custom vacation to Costa Rica with Serendipity Costa Rica.

Horseback riding for beginners to experts. Expert category include riding in a Cabalgata, hundreds of riders going cross-country all day.

How Does Serendipity Deliver Such Exceptional Service?

We own our equipment, from hot air balloons to ropes and harnesses to climb trees or rappel waterfalls. From our own platform high in an ancient tree (for lunch, of course) to remarkable horses and ATV's. From duckies for nature watching to duckies for outrageous whitewater.

We have special places to stay, privately, as well as unique hotels and camping, but we'll use any accommodation you request.

We design your trip directly with you. We use our intimate knowledge of everything good and bad about Costa Rica travel - hotels and restaurants, adventures and naturalist opportunities. We compromise only if necessary to stay within your cost requirements.

Your Serendipity Guide Brings Magic to the Adventure

The glue holding it all together - Serendipity's guides. Driver and translator, naturalist and athlete, educated and resourceful, competent in first aid and car repairs. They know the back roads, keep the ice chest stocked, and are natural-born Nannies. For pure pleasure, for stress free, for great humor and discovery, nothing beats the time you spend with your private, full time Serendipity guide. All our specialist guides are just as much fun as your private full time guide, and well qualified for the technical skills for the adventures. Tree climbing, rafting, kayaking, horseback, ATV fun.

If you have any doubts about their added value, just look at the guest comments.

No wonder Serendipity Costa Rica was named one of the top 9 adventures of the world by National Geographic Adventure Magazine.
