What people love about Costa Rica Tours in February
- Costa Rica: Ocean Waves & Sunsets
I would have enjoyed more time in La Fortuna because there was so much to do there. Also, I would have liked the option to upgrade my accommodation at certain locations. For example, I would have liked to upgrade to a tepee at Selina in La Fortuna.
- Classic Costa Rica
Our guide Pedro exceeded all expectations! A very complete tour going around Costa Rica, lots of different activities, early and late wake ups, quiet and busy days, physical and calm days, and hot and cold!
We had a wonderful time! Everything went smoothly, our tour guides and drivers were friendly and knowledgeable, and each of the places we visited was amazing. Highly recommend!

Coastal regions see extensive sunshine with 8-10 hours daily making it a prime time for outdoor activities from surfing at Tamarindo Beach to beachfront stays at Hotel Parador in Manuel Antonio.
How crowded are Costa Rica's tourist destinations in February?
Peak tourist season hits its stride in February especially in beach destinations like Manuel Antonio and Tamarindo. Tourism data shows February visitor numbers rise about 20% above average monthly levels. Popular hotels like Los Lagos Resort in Arenal and Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort often reach capacity while more remote areas like the Monteverde Cloud Forest maintain a quieter atmosphere. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Despite being peak season we still found peaceful spots in Manuel Antonio National Park."
What are the best locations to visit in Costa Rica during February?
The dry season makes February an excellent time to explore Costa Rica's diverse regions from Arenal Volcano National Park to Tortuguero National Park and the Pacific beaches. Clear skies provide exceptional visibility at Monteverde Cloud Forest. Recommended stays include Casa Luna Hotel & Spa near Arenal or Turtle Beach Lodge in Tortuguero. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We had amazing wildlife viewing in Tortuguero and perfect conditions for hiking around Arenal Volcano - February offered the best combination of locations."
Are accommodations more expensive in Costa Rica during February?
Peak season pricing in February means hotel rates typically run 20-30% higher than low season. Top-tier properties like Arenal Kioro or Tabacón Hot Springs Resort command $300-500 USD nightly while mid-range options such as Hotel Poco a Poco in Monteverde or Casa Luna in Arenal range from $150-250 USD. Advance bookings are crucial as rooms fill quickly during this popular month.
What are the best outdoor activities available in Costa Rica during February?
The dry weather creates ideal conditions for outdoor adventures across Costa Rica. Visitors can enjoy white-water rafting on the Pacuare River zip-lining through Monteverde Cloud Forest and hiking in Arenal Volcano National Park. El Establo Mountain Hotel in Monteverde provides convenient access to canopy tours. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "February offered perfect conditions for the zip-line tour in Monteverde and the wildlife spotting was incredible."
