Our A+ Tour collection features exclusive educational programming and immersive experiences that you can only get through EF–they are rated exceptionally high by educators who travel with us.

Embark on an exhilarating escapade with ‘Adventure in Costa Rica’, where the thrill of discovery meets the pulse of the wild. Navigate the verdant pathways of Tortuguero National Park on a guided hike that promises encounters with Costa Rica’s diverse wildlife. Soar above the rainforest canopy, ziplining through emerald archways and cool mist under a boundless blue sky. Conquer the rapids with whitewater rafting, where the roaring of the river matches the beating of your heart. Glide across the serene waters of Lake Arenal by kayak, with the majestic Arenal Volcano towering over the horizon. Unwind in the soothing embrace of the Arenal Hot Springs, and plunge into a vibrant underwater world while snorkelling, each awe-struck breath marking a new discovery. This tour is not just a journey; it’s a symphony of nature’s beauty played upon your senses, aching to be experienced.
