What level of diver is this trip for?

All levels, easy Pacific reef diving. Not sure if it's the right fit? Niki will talk it through with you.

Can I still do this trip?

This was a past SXT departure to Costa Rica. We run adventures like it regularly, so contact us about the next departure or a custom version designed for your own group.

Is this good for solo travelers?

Absolutely. SXT trips attract friendly, like-minded travelers, and many guests arrive solo and leave with a whole new crew of dive buddies.

Do you handle flights and logistics?

Yes. SXT concierge takes care of flights, transfers, documents, and the little details, so all you have to do is show up and soak it in.

Why you will love this trip

What makes this trip special, and why travelers choose to come back.

Arenal volcano and hot springs

The perfect volcanic cone of Arenal presides over a landscape of waterfalls, hanging bridges, and rainforest trails. Days end soaking in volcano-warmed thermal water, a ritual that never gets old.

Whitewater and jungle wildlife

Raft jungle canyons, spot toucans and monkeys at Manuel Antonio National Park, and encounter Costa Rica's extraordinary biodiversity on foot and on the water.

Easy Pacific reef diving

Manuel Antonio and the Guanacaste coast offer warm, welcoming Pacific dives accessible to all levels, paired with snorkeling, catamaran sails, and tandem parasailing.

Guanacaste golden coast

The northwest coast brings sunset sailing, laid-back beach rhythm, and more diving in warm Pacific water. The perfect wind-down after a big inland adventure.
