Cruising north up Costa Rica's magnificent pacific coast, we visit the beautiful crescent shaped beaches of San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua and Playas del Coco in Costa Rica, areas popular with surfers, scuba divers and fishermen. Life is low key and unhurried with the thrill of new places to explore and vistas to appreciate.

There is a special treat for eco-tourists and animal lovers as we visit Santa Rosa National Park and the National Reserve of Curu as well as the Isla Tortuga where you may spot manta rays, pilot whales or even giant whale sharks. Costa Rica has reserved a full quarter of its landmass for national parks. With 9,000 higher plant species, 800 ferns, 850 bird species, hundreds of frogs and reptile species and 10% of all mammal species on earth, there is a lot to protect!
