A Smart Connection tour is a great way to manage your vacation time. Let's say you arrive in San Jose Costa Rica but your hotel is in Monteverde or Arenal. Rather than jumping on a bus to get there why not jump on a whitewater raft and make use of that time. Begin your Costa Rican adventure the moment you get here and continue till the minute you leave. Forget wasting your precious vacation time sitting on a bus.
Costa Rica offers such diversity in each region that it would be a shame to only visit one area of the country. To really appreciate what Costa Rica has to offer we recommend everyone to visit a couple of different regions on their visit.
Going from one region to another can take over 4 hours, and in vacation time, that can feel like a long time… Luckily for you, we offer a fun solution. Smart Connections
