Overview of Honeymoons in Costa Rica
A honeymoon in Costa Rica offers much more than you might expect, from typical activities like surfing and learning Spanish to unique options like chocolate tours and mud bathing. A popular destination for young travelers, this Central American country is also home to growing population of retirees and business owners and their families. You’ll find exactly what you’re looking for on your honeymoon in Costa Rica – guaranteed! Costa Rica still enjoys many affordable entertainment, accommodation and dining choices, despite the fact that prices have gone up with the increase in tourism and foreign investment. Take some time to look around and you’ll come out with some amazing savings.
Your honeymoon in Costa Rica won’t be complete without these three experiences:
- A guided sea turtle nesting tour. From February to October you can witness a miracle of nature, as a number of sea turtle species come to lay their eggs along Costa Rica’s coast.
- Get up close and personal with Costa Rica’s rain and cloud forests. If you’re feeling brave, you can join a canopy tour and fly through the tree tops while suspended from a cable.
- Soak up the benefits of Costa Rica’s mineral water. With a landscape littered with volcanoes, there’s no shortage of naturally heated mineral pools and mud baths, and they can be found in natural settings as well as at high end resorts.

When to go:

Remember to pack a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to avoid a painful sunburn which may ultimately suck the life out of your honeymoon in Costa Rica. Clear skies and sunshine can be expected year round in Costa Rica, with short afternoon showers arriving from May through November. December through April are the driest months and also the busiest, and you will have to contend with the Christmas and Spring break crowd if you travel at this time. Be sure to plan ahead and make reservations as far in advance as possible. If you can outsmart the crowds, or if you actually prefer them, a honeymoon in Costa Rica will be relaxing and romantic, as well as adventurous any time of year.
