Travel Planning

Group Travel

Our group itineraries are all custom-designed, in accordance with the specific requirements of our clients, and constitute the majority of all our business. Group trips are accompanied by one of our professional naturalist guides.

Horizontes operates general natural history and cultural tours as well as special interest itineraries for activities such as birding, botany, photography and folklore. We also develop educational tours for adults and students, with topics relating to our country’s outstanding performance in the areas of human rights, education, conservation, peace studies and different fields of agriculture.

Individual Travel (FITs)

For those who want to see Costa Rica on their own, our staff designs custom itineraries for individual travelers.

Horizontes works with a number of local ground operators whose tours are noted for their excellence and arranges rental cars for more adventurous clients. We also offer our own pre-designed soft adventure packages. All FIT itineraries are designed to suit the visitor’s interests, budget and physical condition. Private tours with a naturalist guide can also be arranged.

Land Excursions for Small ship cruises

We provide on-board naturalists and operate the shore excursions for small, specialty cruise ships run by Lindblad Expeditions and Tauck World Discovery. Small cruise ships Le Ponant and Temptress Voyager combine comfort on the high seas with award-winning land exploration. Both companies offer 10-day trips that explore Costa Rica's Pacific coast and the Panama Canal.
