We take you to some of the most pristine beaches in
Costa Rica. If you enjoy relaxing and watching wild
life you'll love our beach vacations.
CARIBBEAN ISLAND ADVENTURE
Situated just south of Tortugero National Park, the
Caribbean island village of Parismina is one of
Costa Rica's best kept secrets! Here you will find
all the wildlife and rainforest of neighboring
Tortugero without the crowds. The same 3 species of
nesting sea turtles visit the beaches of Parismina
in the same numbers. There is an active movement by
the people of Parismina and the Coast Guard of Costa
Rica to patrol and protect the nests of these
amazing creatures. RainForest World is proud to support this
movement and participate in nightly beach patrols.
Our private 17 acre jungle reserve is home to
hundreds of animal and plant species including 3
species of monkeys, sloths, alligators, caimans and
multitudes of birds. Facing deserted beaches and
backed by the canals of Parismina, our reserve is a
perfectly located gateway for animals to cross
freely and a great place for you to view them in
action!
2 DAY BEACH, CANAL AND JUNGLE SAFARI
Day 1
Travel
to Cano Blanco river docks on the banks of the Rio
Reventazon for Lunch and motor launch to the RainForest World Parismina Private Reserve. A guided
trek through the Jungle where you'll very likely
spot 3 species of monkeys and numerous bird species
including green parrots and Sea Eagles. Emerge from
the jungle into our beachfront coconut grove. Here
we'll enjoy fresh, traditional "Lime in the Coconut"
drinks and head to the beach for a hike and swim.
Dinner at an open air, beachfront restaurant and
bar. Visit to a private animal rescue and rehab
project. Relax with the breezes back at the beach
bar and bungalows.
After dinner in Parismina, if you
have the energy and the turtles are nesting, you can
take an OPTIONAL private trip with a trained Turtle
Guide to view marine turtles digging nests and
laying eggs. Incredible! This private tour is far
better than the often-overcrowded public tours. (The
Turtle Tour is OPTIONAL in season, only $30 per
person extra, 2-person minimum. SEASON: Leatherback
turtles in small numbers - February to July, peak
mid-April to mid-May. Green turtles in large numbers July to mid-October, peak late July to late
August. Hawksbill turtles sporadically March to
October. There is no guaranty that we will encounter
turtles, but in the peak of the season we often make
several sighting. You do not need to make a decision
for this OPTION until the day of the tour.)
Day 2
Dawn surfcasting and breakfast. Canal tours
with our own exclusive "Crocodile hunter" guide,
Rick Knowles. Rick stealthily motors us up through
the current of the Rio California where we encounter
a wealth of aquatic birds and animals. Species
include, Great Grey, Tiger and Little Blue Herons,
Crocodiles and Caimans. Maybe Rick will catch one
for you. We'll take 2 jungle hikes including the "Toucan
Trail" at the Jolaba entrance of Tortugero National
Park. A Late lunch back in Parismina and a last
chance glance and walk on the beach before heading
back to the mainland.
We also offer a three day version of this trip with
more time to enjoy the above mentioned activities as
well as your choice from the following list.

kayaksurfing, fishing and seakayaking.
