Top Costa Rica Vacation Packages for 2025

Trips range from landmarks and farmlands to culture and eco-tours in cloud forests and national parks. In Costa Rica, ecotourism in particular is a popular option for nature enthusiasts seeking sustainable and accessible travel that supports local communities and conserves the environment. These usually enlist local guides and visit lesser-known destinations. However, all will introduce you to Costa Ricans' (aka Tico) hospitality and the “pura vida” (pure life) lifestyle.

As a AAA Member, you can enjoy special benefits and save even more on luxury vacations. To check availability, browse AAA Vacations® packages. You can filter by destination, tour, operator and tour type. You’ll find vacation packages like Costa Rica: A World of Nature; Monkeys, Jungles & Volcanoes; and Tropical Costa Rica. Alternatively, you can put together the best of the best with Custom Vacation - Central and South America, where you can see more of the region, learn about new cultures and enjoy world-class service.

Although you can make arrangements in a variety of ways, we recommend reviewing available AAA Vacations® packages and working with a AAA Travel Agent to book prior to your arrival for cost efficiency and peace of mind.
