Overview


Join us for a special Founder’s Trip designed for families, bringing together adventure, wildlife, beach time, and plenty of room to simply enjoy Costa Rica together.

Hosted in partnership with UnTours, a pioneer in sustainable and immersive travel, we’ll spend six nights exploring Guanacaste from just two boutique properties—from the volcanic foothills of Rincón de la Vieja to the beaches of the Pacific Coast. The slower pace means less time in transit, more meaningful local experiences, and plenty of flexibility for both family and group time.

We’ll hike through volcanic landscapes, zipline, ride horseback, explore mangroves and a working Costa Rican farm, search for sea turtles after dark, and sail the Pacific by catamaran—with plenty of downtime for hot springs, pools, and the beach.

The idea is simple: a great family vacation, shared with other families, designed to experience Costa Rica thoughtfully and responsibly.
