This is a sample itinerary — for inspiration only. Every Juniper trip is designed from scratch around you. Many clients travel a very similar route — if this resonates, book a free consultation and a specialist will build something just like it (or better) specifically for your travel style, dates, and group.

1
Day One

Arrive in San José

San José

Welcome to Costa Rica, and to your honeymoon. A private driver brings you to a hotel chosen for two, with an easy first evening before the country opens up.

Pura vida — the pace slows from here.

Overnight: San José

Day Two

To Arenal & Private Hot Springs

Arenal · La Fortuna

A private transfer to La Fortuna beneath Arenal Volcano. Check into a volcano-view suite, and end the day in your own private hot-spring pool, a drink in hand and the cone glowing at dusk.

The most romantic night of the trip.

Overnight: Arenal (lodge)

Day Three

Arenal — Waterfall & Canopy

Arenal

The hanging bridges through the rainforest with a private naturalist, the La Fortuna waterfall with a swim in its pool, and the afternoon for the two of you — more hot springs, a couples' chocolate experience, or the suite.

Overnight: Arenal (lodge)

Day Four

Arenal — Hot Springs & Spa

Arenal

A slow morning, a couples' spa treatment, and the thermal waters again — or a gentle volcano hike if you feel like moving. The honeymoon hits its stride.

Couples' spa Thermal waters Unhurried pace
Overnight: Arenal (lodge)

Day Five

Arenal to the Pacific Coast

Manuel Antonio

Down to the central Pacific and Manuel Antonio, where rainforest meets the sea. Check into a beachfront or hillside suite with views over the ocean, and catch a sunset that stops conversation.

Day Six

Manuel Antonio — Park & Sea

Manuel Antonio

A morning in the national park with a private naturalist — sloths and monkeys along jungle trails to gorgeous beaches — then a private sunset catamaran with snorkeling and dolphins.

Day Seven

Beach & a Private Dinner

Manuel Antonio

A full day at the coast — the beach, the pool, a couples' spa — and, to close, a private dinner on the sand with the surf a few metres away.

Day Eight

Coast to San José & Depart

Manuel Antonio · San José (SJO)

A private transfer back to San José for your flight home — most couples leave already planning a return.

Your Juniper specialist remains reachable throughout departure day.
