Costa Rica

Tamarindo

Beach + Coast Multi-Generational Trip December 2024
Costa Rica

A Christmas in Guanacaste centred on one villa, half-day activities some join and others watch, and one long table at the end of the day. The outings bring a surf lesson, mangroves full of howler monkeys and crocodiles, a catamaran out with the dolphins, and whitewater tubing and a canyon zipline that end in volcano-warmed hot springs. In between, there's time for golf, croquet, boogie boarding and the pool. A gated base near Tamarindo holds it all together, with room enough that nobody is on top of anyone.

 
Behind the Route

Built around a grandmother's birthday request and a group of sixteen: everyone under one roof, and short outings the grandparents could join or sit out.

Best For Large groups wanting a gated, self-contained base and adventure at the group's pace.
  

This trip was a gift for Grammy's eightieth birthday (my mother-in-law), and Costa Rica was her request: she'd heard it was a very good multigenerational destination, and neither of the other two families had been. Sixteen of us across three families over Christmas, with my brothers-in-law booking the villa and me looking after a few of the planned activities. Our own family arrived a few days behind the others, so the first few days are theirs.

Ages in group: Older Adults 65+, Adults (30-65), Older Teens and 20s, and Young Teenagers (12-15)
