Costa Rica Shore Excursions – Pure Nature & Pura Vida
Explore Costa Rica on a private shore excursion with Bakadi Dreams – the personal way to experience one of the most biodiverse and naturally spectacular countries on Earth. Costa Rica is a true paradise for nature lovers, with dense rainforests, active volcanoes, stunning Pacific and Caribbean beaches and a fascinating array of wildlife that includes colourful toucans, curious monkeys, gentle sloths and exotic poison dart frogs.
This small Central American country punches far above its weight when it comes to natural wonders. Despite covering just 0.03 percent of the Earth’s surface, Costa Rica is home to nearly six percent of the world’s biodiversity – a staggering concentration of plant and animal species that makes every excursion an adventure of discovery. The country’s pioneering commitment to environmental conservation means that over 25 percent of its territory is protected in national parks and reserves, ensuring that the natural treasures remain pristine for generations to come.
The Caribbean coast, where most cruise ships dock at the port of Puerto Limon, offers a unique blend of lush tropical nature and Afro-Caribbean culture. The famous Tortuguero Canals – often called the “Amazon of Costa Rica” – wind through dense rainforest teeming with wildlife, offering unforgettable boat tours where you can spot monkeys swinging through the trees, caimans basking on riverbanks, sloths hanging lazily from branches and toucans calling from the canopy overhead.
The philosophy of “Pura Vida” – pure life – defines the Costa Rican way of living. The warm, friendly people embrace a relaxed, joyful approach to life that is infectious. Whether you are hiking through misty cloud forest, floating through jungle canals or simply enjoying a fresh tropical fruit smoothie at a local roadside stand, the Pura Vida spirit makes everything feel like a celebration.
Every Bakadi Dreams excursion runs in a small, private group with a friendly English-speaking guide, at a relaxed pace and with a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time.
