Costa Rica Honeymoon Registry

A honeymoon registry is the prefect way for newly wed couples to have their cake and eat it too. With a Costa Rica honeymoon registry, your friends and family can contribute to your honeymoon, instead of buying you household goods or other items you may not want, or need.

Jump to Sample Itinerary... 

How it works:

We will plan your honeymoon with you and then make an online registry with an assortment of items available to purchase in all price ranges.  Our goal is to make the registry / itinerary informative and fun to read so that your friends will want to buy or contribute to your dream honeymoon in Costa Rica. See the sample below and please contact us with questions or to get started. Of course we will personalize the registry (adding your names, your picture, your actual itinerary, etc) as the basis for the registry.

Sample Honeymoon Itinerary / Registry

June 22 -29th.  (8 days and 7 nights) 

Day 1, Saturday June 22nd: Welcome to Costa Rica!

The newly weds will arrive to Costa Rica in the morning around 9:30 and their private driver will be waiting to take them to Hotel Belmar in the emerald cloud forest region of Monteverde.

The Hotel Belmar is nestled in the mountains, adjacent to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and just moments away from the wilderness of an immense tropical rain forest and Monteverde´s main attractions.

After settling into their room, they will have the bulk of the day unscheduled to enjoy the hotel and scenery. The balcony of the hotel looks out to the Gulf of Nicoya and offers beautiful sunset views and a full service bar!

They will also embark on a twilight-to-dark guided nature walk in the Hidden Valley Nature Reserve. Situated at a lower elevation, the reserve has an abundance of fruit producing trees and is an ideal home for a variety of birds, mammals and butterflies not often seen in the dense, humid cloud forest further up in elevation.

Overnight at Hotel Belmar

Day 2, Sunday June 23d: Cloud Forest Canopy Adventures! 

Today will be spent exploring the canopy of the cloud forest.

First the happy couple will tour the hanging bridges of Selvatura. The treetop walkways consists of 1.9 miles of trails in which visitors will encounter eight bridges of various lengths which range between 170 feet and 560 feet. The trail passes though mostly primary (un-cut) forest. Visitors are able to appreciate a wide variety of flora and fauna, plus they will be able to observe the biodiversity of the cloud forest canopy which is not found anywhere else in the world. 

After lunch, they will head over to the *best* canopy tour in the Monteverde area - the Sky Adventures Nature Park. Here they will wizzzzz along a total of 1.7 miles of linear cable, climb up 5 observation towers and as they go from mountain to mountain, they will fly at speeds up to 40 miles per hour and heights of over 328 feet. To get to the zip line, they'll ride the Sky Tram up to the first platform which offers a panoramic views of Monteverde hills and Nicoya gulf.

Day 3, Monday June 24th: Active Volcano, Here we Come!

They will tour the majestic green forests of the Montevede Cloud Forest reserve this morning before heading down the mountian via the scenic route (taxi-boat across the Arenal lake-taxi) to the La Fortuna / Arenal area, home to the almost prefectly formed Arenal  Volcano and its natural hot springs. 

The Montevede Reserve is known for its wind-sculpted elfin woodlands and rainforests, where tall trees – festooned with orchids, bromeliads, ferns, vines and mosses – rise high into the sky. The competition for growing space is so intense that the trunks, branches and even roots of trees are almost entirely covered with other plants – epiphytes, lichens, liverworts, bryophytes, mosses and more. A fantastic number of birds can be found here, including the three-wattled bellbird, bare-necked umbrellabird, keel-billed toucan, long-tailed manakin, and resplendent quetzal.

Once in Arenal, they will stay at the lovely Nayara Hotel, Spa & Gardens. Nayara is a five star luxury boutique hotel that is widely recognized for providing premium luxury amenities and ultra-personalized service at surprisingly affordable rates. Located in the outskirts of the amazing Arenal Volcano, Arenal Nayara is an oasis of tranquility, where guests can experience a profound and organic immersion with nature, while living in luxury at the same time.
