If you love the thought of rich rainforests, beautiful historical sights, and exciting guided tours, then look no further; Costa Rica can provide this and so much more. The most important step is to find an affordable honeymoon package. Next, you must learn what to expect and what to bring with you for your unforgettable trip. You will learn more about the best places to look for honeymoon packages and the things you will need to bring along for your Costa Rica honeymoon.
Find a Great Deal: Ask A Friend
It can be hard to find the best deals on honeymoon packages if you do not know where to look. The best place to start is by asking other married couples. If you know of a couple that just got married, chances are they went on a honeymoon. Get advice on the best places to look, and ask how they got great deals.
Travel Agencies
Travel agencies will give you the opportunity to talk to someone face-to-face about your expectations for a Costa Rica honeymoon. They are experts at creating great travel packages and getting the best deals for their clients. If you have never been to an agency, get advice from a friend who has. Otherwise, look through the phonebook and call a few places. Get a good feel for the person and how willing they are to help you. You can even visit a few agencies and ask for a package price.
The Internet
If you would rather have complete control over your honeymoon, you can create your ideal vacation on the Internet. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of places that offer honeymoon packages. You should do a search on “ Costa Rica honeymoon” and go through the top websites on this subject. However, you might want to start with travel websites first. Other than car rentals and hotel rates, some sites give you the option of creating whole packages from scratch. Websites dedicated to weddings are also very helpful. While you can use them to plan all aspects of the wedding, they usually offer advice and links to great honeymoon websites. You can be sure that their links are legitimate and worth your time.
What to Expect and Bring
Before you make any permanent plans for your Costa Rica honeymoon, here are a few important things to know:
- When to Go to Costa Rica
As you know, with rainforests there is always a season of heavy and constant rain. The best time to visit Costa Rica is during the dry season, which lasts from December to April. That being said, you usually find the best prices for your honeymoons during the rainy or “green” season: from May to October. Ultimately, you have to decide which is more important: great prices or great weather.
- What to Bring
As with any trip outside of the United States, make sure you have a current Passport with you. You will also need to bring the right currency so make sure you have colons (their official currency) with you. The best way to get around Costa Rica is by taxi or in a rental car. Just so you know, you do not have to tip the taxi drivers.
