For
the first time, Scuba Center is running a women-only trip! Escape to
paradise and embark on an adventure where you’ll find yourself
surrounded by lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and vibrant wildlife.
This trip blends relaxation and adventure while providing you the
opportunity to connect with other women who share something in common -
passion for travel! Recharge, explore, and create lifelong memories in a
supportive and inspiring environment!
The scuba diving in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica offers
diverse marine life and vibrant underwater landscapes. The area, located
on the Pacific coast, is known for its clear waters, rich biodiversity,
and several notable dive sites, making it a top choice for divers of all
levels. The waters of Guanacaste are teeming with marine life, including
tropical fish, rays, sharks (like the white-tipped reef shark), sea
turtles, and even humpback whales (in season). You may also encounter
schools of fish, moray eels, and giant manta rays. |
|
On this trip we’ll enjoy a 5-night stay on
the beach at Bosque del Mar - a charming, boutique hotel designed with
nature in mind. This beautiful retreat sits right on the beach and is
surrounded by vegetation - consistently delivering that feeling of
rejuvenation that nature so often offers. Bosque del Mar is a boutique hotel
facing the sea in Hermosa beach, in the exuberant Gulf of Papagayo,
Guanacaste. First class hospitality, service, gastronomy and high sense of
environmental responsibility demonstrated in eco-friendly facilities and
sustainable practices. Just steps from the beach, revitalize your senses
with the gentle sound of waves, ancient trees and wildlife in the jungle-
style gardens.
|
 The
beach and the sound of the sea, as well as a great selection of dishes
combining international gourmet style with Costa Rican flavors and high-
level service of the staff, are the perfect mix in Niromi restaurant
("forest" in native Chorotega language) to complement a perfect stay in the
coast. Breakfast awaits daily between 7 am and 10 am, and later your
favorite drink can be served throughout the day in the restaurant, bar, pool
or right on the beach! Lunch and dinner are available until 10 pm and the
resort can gladly offer you room service anytime. |
|

Next, we’ll travel to Arenal Volcano where we’ll stay at Hotel Arenal Kioro
(Hotel Arenal Kioro - Costa Rica Hotel Arenal) where we can soak in stunning
views of the volcano and take advantage of the hot springs! Arenal Volcano
National Park captivates adventurers with its dramatic landscapes. Towering
majestically, the active Arenal Volcano presides over lush rainforests and
bubbling hot springs, creating an awe-inspiring tableau that beckons
travelers into a world of natural wonder. |
Escape
to Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa, where accommodations redefine luxury living in
the shadow of Costa Rica’s majectic Arenal Volcano. Step into generously
designed suites with cathedral ceilings, bathed in natural light streaming
through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Costa Rican artistry graces the
space with authentic creations, while the Spanish tile flooring and wicker
furnishings create an ambiance uniquely rooted in the local culture.
Set amidst expansive 27-acre grounds of undulating landscapes, the hotel is
cradled by two crystalline streams, La Palma and Kioro, sourced from the
legendary Arenal Volcano National Park. Embark on two enchanting pathways
