Tours and Activities
Finca Colibri is strategically located to offer you access to the many adventures that capitalize on the natural beauty of Costa Rica's southern coastal zone. While here, your biggest problem will be too many fun things to do and not enough time! So if you are in the mood for adventure check out some of the area's activities before you get too addicted to the pool or have staked out your own private section of a beach. We will be happy to make reservations for you also.
To the north you can:
- learn to surf in Dominical or rent a board if you already know how (10 mins. drive time)
- ride horses through the jungle to spectacular waterfalls (20-25 mins.)
- check out zip lines, a canopy tour, and nature walks (15-20 mins.)
- learn about Costa Rica's reptiles at a large collection of living snakes at Parque Reptilandia (20-25 mins.)
- go fishing - by the day, half-day or hour
- rent scooters and bicycles in Dominical
Heading south you can:
- See how many types of animals you can spot while cruising the nature-rich mangrove canals
- hop on a boat to Cano Island Biological Preserve for snorkeling and diving - watch for whales and dolphins
- take a full day boat excursion to Costa Rica's wildest national park, Corcovado, accessible only by foot or by sea
(a last refuge of the jaguar, which you won't see and scarlet macaws, which you most likely will see)
- kayak in spectacular waters
- get a bird's-eye view of the area from an ultra-light (10-15 mins.drive)
- visit a butterfly farm (very interesting commentary and exhibits, but usually in Spanish)
We haven't listed everything there is to do as new activities become available and others change to accommodate the different seasons, etc. To find out what's going on, head to Dominical early in your stay so you can be sure to get a spot reserved.
To make reservations: While this short list most likely does not include every place that can make your activity bookings, the following are shown on the Dominical map in the guest info book (see Restaurant Guide) and should offer good starting points. Check out:
- Pueblo del Rio's tourist info/internet cafe
- San Clemente Restaurant's small activity booth (located in the courtyard)
- Southern Expeditions
Each tour operator has different deposit requirements, payment options and cancellation policies. The activity people should be able to sort it out for you. If not all of your party is planning on going on an excursion, see if the different tour operators offer any transportation service for an extra fee (to allow the rest of your group to do something different that day).
