Adventure Spring Break in Costa Rica

Spring Break in Costa Rica offers a slightly different experience than you might find in some of the more typical Spring Break destinations. You’ll find all the main ingredients for a fun-filled and memorable vacation, of course. Plenty of day time activities… great beaches… lively nightlife… parties… but the difference is that the crowds aren’t as densely packed in as they are in many of the “big name” Spring Break destinations, and that creates a different atmosphere. In Costa Rica, you’ll find the vibe less “crazy” and more “chilled”. Lots of students are opting for a Costa Rica Spring Break nowadays, and it’s not too difficult to see why when you look at what this tropical paradise has to offer!

Unlike places such as Florida and Cancun, is not so densely packed either in terms of crowds or resort buildings, which is good in a couple of different ways. Firstly, it means that you don’t have to spend your vacation waiting in line for one thing or another! Secondly, there’s definitely a more relaxed, intimate feel about the place. And thirdly, the fact that it’s less built up means that it hasn’t become such a tourist trap, so everything is really decently priced. You can enjoy a great vacation for a fraction of the cost of other major Spring Break destinations, both in terms of accommodation and food and drink.

And the atmosphere really is excellent. There’s a great beach scene in Costa Rica, with lots of spectacular tropical beaches to choose from. For college crowds, the best ones to go for are on the Pacific coast rather than the Caribbean – this is where you’ll find more bars, clubs, party venues and so on. Some areas offer small reggae clubs and very unique music venues, while others (particularly near San José) contain lots of classy nightclubs, buzzing beach bars, and popular party scenes. The atmosphere at Costa Rica Spring Break is intimate and laid back, with much the same vibe as a house party with a crowd of good friends – ideal for those who want to get to know new people and have some fun rather than just get lost in the huge crowds elsewhere.

For a Spring Beak adventure seekers. Costa Rica offers rappelling, ziplining, horseback riding and whitewater rafting. Hike to the Arenal Volcano and see the lava flow. You can choose among a variety of activities to fill your days. Why not try surfing or go on a kayak tour through an estuary. If you want something a little less strenuous go on a snorkeling trip and see all that the georgeous Pacific Ocean has to offer.
