Costa Rica adventure tour for 50 yr olds?

[smith6]

Hi We are sailing to Costa Rica in Feb. we are 2 couples in our 50's and love nature and really looking forward to this port. We are in pretty good health and are looking for something adventurous and fun. Not into zip lining or mountain climbing or 10 mi. hikes but would love to experience the jungles of Costa Rica. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :)

Where will you be docking?

We will be docking in Puerto Limon. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated

Contact one of the private tour operators like JJ and they will put together a package that works for you. Possibly include the longer tram ride, maybe a plantation tour and the tortugero canals...

We were in Costa Rica in Jan 2012 and booked with JJ tours. Another group booked a rafting trip with JJ and we got pushed off into a cab....we should have walked away. Two of the promised stops were a slow down and look out the cab window, and two other stops were a no go at all. And in the end we were happy to just get out of the cab, but it hurt to drop $90 on this cab ride.....I think some people get lucky and don't get pushed off, but don't take the chance, it was a mistake for me

Unclekritz: So sorry to hear of your bad experience! I was the one that organized the "other" group of 21 on the bus with JJ for white-water rafting... And, coincidentally, I live in Spokane as well :)

Loved the white water rafting. We'd been before and our bus had a flat tire so we were not comfortable with booking outside of the cruiseline. So, we booked with them and we were late getting back (this time because of construction)

My husband and I are both in our 50s. The first time we rafted this river we were in our 30s. Kind of fun to go back and do it again.:D
