[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just did Costa Rica with 8 year old.  Favorite was zip lining thru the cloud forest.  We hiked hanging bridges, saw waterfalls, tons of animals.  We did a very cool night hike.  We did hot springs.  We also did a calm rafting and saw tons of animals.

Where did you stay?
Did the resort organize the activities for you?[/quote]

Arenal - Baldi hot springs hotel
Monteverde - Mounteverde Country Lodge
Guanacaste- JW Marriott

We booked tours in Arenal and Monteverde and it was easy.  In Arenal we did private boat on the lake to get close to the volcano. We did a calm rafting tour that was great to see animals.  DH did not want to do any rapids with DS yet, even milder ones.

The children’s rainforest night hike we booked directly thru them.  In Monteverde we booked Selvatura park all day pass that included zip lining, hanging bridges, sloth, butterflies so did a lot in 1 day.  They also will pick up and drop off right at your hotel.  We think Selvatura was the best zip lining with an 8 year old.  There is another one but not geared towards for younger kids.

I’ve done a number of zip lining in other countries but the zip lining thru the Monteverde cloud forest is by far the best IMO. You are actually zip lining thru the clouds above the rainforest.  It’s a can’t miss activity if you are in CR.  It was DS 1st zip lining, and they were great with kids.  We also felt they had great safety demos and very professional. Since he has gone on the best one, hard to experience anything better.

Guanacaste we booked private 1/2 day boat tour and went snorkeling by very secluded beach, fishing, paddle boarding.  It was great.  JW is great too because it’s a resort, has huge winding pool like a lazy river that ends in an infinity pool, kids clubs and does roasting marshmallows on the beach for the kids, etc…. They also have great family friendly buffets so easy to drop in and eat when you want, etc…
