Exploring the Tropics on Your Own

Solo vacations to Costa Rica offer an opportunity to connect deeply with nature and your own sense of discovery. With its renowned biodiversity and commitment to sustainability, Costa Rica presents itself as a sanctuary for those who wander alone. Begin in the lush rainforest of Monteverde, where the symphony of wildlife guides your path. Explore misty cloud forests on rope bridges and zip-line through the canopy, absorbing the vibrant ecosystem that hums with life.

Unforgettable Encounters with Nature

One of the joys of solo travel for women to Costa Rica is the liberty to craft experiences that resonate personally. Head to Tortuguero National Park, a prime nesting ground for sea turtles, and witness the miracle of life as hatchlings make their way to the ocean. As you mediate solo on a secluded beach, you'll find both the peace and exhilaration that travel promises.

A Quaint Coffee Adventure

Your journey might lead you to the highlands, where the air is perfumed with the scent of freshly ground coffee. Here, take a tour of a coffee plantation in the Central Valley, understanding the integral role coffee plays in Costa Rican culture and economy. Sip a warm cup as you take in the panoramic views—another rewarding moment best savoured solo.

San José: A Solo Traveller’s Urban Retreat

Your trip wouldn't be complete without diving into the vibrant capital, San José. The city hums with energy, offering museums, parks, and a lively street market scene perfect for those venturing alone. Wander through the Pre-Colombian Gold Museum, or enjoy a leisurely afternoon at the Parque La Sabana, where locals relax amidst the urban backdrop.

Cultural Delights and Culinary Feasts

Costa Rica's culinary landscape is as diverse as its geography. In San José, the National Theatre district is a haven for food lovers, offering everything from street tacos to gourmet delights. Embrace local flavours like gallo pinto and casado, and indulge in freshly caught ceviche. The freedom of solo travel allows you to savour each meal, lingering over it under the glow of café lights.

Embracing Adventure with Confidence

Adventure enthusiasts will find no shortage of thrilling experiences. Whether it's surfing the Pacific waves at Tamarindo or hiking the Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica offers myriad opportunities for self-discovery. With Costa Rica travel packages designed with safety in mind, even first-time solo travellers can explore with confidence and ease.

Costa Rica is intensely aware of its ecological impact and has made strides in eco-tourism. Engage with local communities and partake in volunteer initiatives, fostering a genuine connection with the country's heart and heritage.

Practical Tips for Solo Women Travellers

  • Stay Connected: Use local SIM cards to stay in touch and informed.
  • Blend In: Respect the local dress customs to avoid unwanted attention.
  • Secure Your Stay: Book accommodations that offer solo travel discounts and amenities.

Finding Yourself in the Heart of Costa Rica

No matter the path you choose, Costa Rica promises to hearten and embolden those who explore it solo. This destination invites introspection and rejuvenation, whether through the rhythmic sea or the hushed canopy of ancient forests. Costa Rica is not just a place; it's a feeling—a gentle, unwavering invitation to discover the world and yourself.

Embark on this journey, and let Costa Rica's charm engulf you with its natural beauty, spirited culture, and the companionship of its warm-hearted people. Every corner of this country calls to wanderers who walk to the beat of their own drum, making solo vacations to Costa Rica an unforgettable escapade.

If your main interest is beach time, December to April offers the best weather. However do not discount visiting during the Green Season in September, which reveals a different side of the country, full of wildlife and vibrant scenery.

I was looking at a month holiday in New Zealand and Australia and Natasa Jaric who is located in the Toronto area helped to make it happened by combining 2 already designed holidays in Oceania. From the beginning to the end, Natasa was "hands on" by explaining and providing everything I needed for our trip. During our trip, there were few bumps on the road that had nothing to do with Goway Travel as it was the airline company that cancelled our scheduled flight and created chaos. And the other problems (they were light) was because of the way hotels described their rooms. It should definitely be better worded! Db to me means double bed ... what does it mean to you? ;-) Anyhow, we ended up having two beds but with some arguments at one hotel only. The others accommodated us at no extra cost. I should also add that NZ and Aus. know how to treat tourists. I was particularly impressed with the transfers services offered by different companies both in NZ and Aus. Wow! No waiting at the airports, hotels or terminals. They were there ready to pick us up and drive us where ever we needed to be! Well done!!! It's the kind of service that I will have a hard time not to use again as it comes with a $ sign but definitely worth spending it! :-). I received a very good response from the "Help office" when the flight was cancelled and other inquiries I had made. Very good service once again. I live quite a few experiences during that month and all thanks need to go to Natasa and her team. So Natasa: Thank you very very much for a very well organized travel! Carole Ouellet

This was my first time planning a tour wth Goway Travel. I am truly delighted with the professionalism and personal relationship I had with the Goway Travel consultant Christine. She gave attention to every details I requested to curate my tour to Hong Kong and Bali. She addressed all my needs, answered thoroughly my questions and concerns. She is a touch of class in every respect. I will definitely recommend Goway Travel group. Excellent Hotels. Perfect guides in both countries. LE Asia Tour

Ingrid did a phenomenal job creating a 22 day trip beginning in with 3 days in Turkey, that included a Turkish Bath and a private tour of the mosques, we then took a 10 day cruise through the Mediterranean, Greece, Croatia, plus a couple of other stops. We got off the cruise in Ravenna Italy our transportation was spot on picking us up (I would have to stay all of our transportation was impressive, always there, on time, very helpful) we traveled from Ravenna to Venice where we stayed for two nights. Venice is the only place we had a hiccup, we weren't sure if someone was meeting us at our Hotel to take us to the water taxi to get to the train station, we figured it out, made the train and all was good. Traveled to Florence, had the best time there with one of our most favorite excusions, stayed in Florence for two nights and then completed our trip with three nights in Rome. Rome is BUSY, I was not prepared for that but should of expected it. This is our second big trip planning through Goway Travel, I can not recommend enough, they are so detailed and take care of everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed.

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler
