Join us for the ultimate girl-powered escape to Costa Rica—a land of volcanic beauty, lush jungles, vibrant culture, and sun-soaked beaches. This 8-day journey is thoughtfully designed to immerse you in nature, adventure, and relaxation while connecting with an amazing group of women. From floating down jungle rivers and soaking in natural hot springs to tasting craft rum and catching sunsets on a catamaran—this is the kind of wild you’ve been craving.
This adventure is designed for women of all fitness levels who enjoy light movement and immersive nature experiences without extreme physical demands. Most activities are easy to moderate, with flexibility built into the itinerary.
Here’s what to expect physically:
February is one of the best times to visit Costa Rica, with warm, sunny days and very little rain. In La Fortuna (Arenal), expect daytime temperatures in the low to mid-80s°F, with cooler evenings and a touch of rainforest humidity—perfect for jungle walks and hot springs. Over in Tamarindo, the climate is hot, dry, and beachy, with highs in the upper 80s to 90s°F and warm, breezy nights. To stay comfortable, guests should pack light, breathable clothing, activewear for hikes, comfortable walking shoes, swimsuits, and sun protection like hats and sunscreen. A light jacket is handy for cooler evenings, and a rain jacket or travel umbrella is great for the occasional tropical sprinkle. Bug spray is a must in the rainforest, and a refillable water bottle will keep you hydrated during all your adventures.
All the excursions listed in the itinerary are included. Bring cash/credit cards for purchasing souvenirs, additional snacks/meals, alcoholic drinks, extra activities, and other items. You can either order Costa Rican Colónes from your bank at home or use an ATM on arrival in San Jose to get some cash. Exchanging USD to Colónes at the airport or at a bank in Costa Rica is not always easy and doesn't give the best exchange rates.
All gratuities are included in your adventure, with the exception of tips for your Chicas Abroad Tour Leader. While tipping your Tour Leader is entirely optional, it’s a meaningful way to show appreciation for the care, energy, and behind-the-scenes magic they bring to your trip.
If you’ve had an exceptional experience, a typical gratuity for a trip of this length ranges from $250–$350. In cases where more than one Tour Leader is present, you’re welcome to give your tip to one of them—they’ll ensure it’s shared among the team.
A custom packing list will be emailed out a few months prior to departure.

Your Costa Rica adventure begins with a warm welcome at the San José airport, where you'll meet your guide and fellow travelers. Depending on your arrival time, you'll settle into your hotel and kick things off with a brief introduction and trip overview at the charming D’Sabana Hotel. After getting acquainted, you’ll head into the heart of San José for a panoramic city tour. With its lively streets and spring-like climate, San José is the cultural and commercial center of Costa Rica, buzzing with energy and color.
The group will then descend beneath the Plaza de la Cultura to explore the impressive Pre-Columbian Gold Museum—home to over 2,000 ancient artifacts that tell the rich story of Costa Rica’s early civilizations. In the evening, you'll enjoy a delicious welcome dinner at a traditional restaurant nestled in the scenic hills overlooking the city. It's the perfect way to toast the beginning of your wild and wonderful journey. You'll return to the hotel for a restful night before heading into the rainforest the next day.
