Costa Rica Trip Planning Course for Families

You’re a busy parent, trust me, I get it. You are spending lots of time and money to make your Costa Rica trip epic for your family, and you might be spinning your wheels and aiming a few choice words at the computer. I get that too, which is why I created this Costa Rica trip planning course myself.

And if you are wondering who I am? I’m Christa, Costa Rica trip plan extraordianirre, with over 50 trips under my belt. Mom of two kids, so I tell you exactly what I do when I plan. You can find out more about me here. 

What's Included

These are the course modules, each will take you about 15 minutes. I personally guide you through each decision, and you take notes on a tracker I designed to get you organized. You have lifetime access to the course. You can breeze through it in 90 minutes, or you can take more time. Whatever works best for you. 

Figure out the right month for your family based on weather, crowds, and price, not just what a blog post tells you.

Rental car, shuttle, or domestic flights — how to decide what actually fits your route and your kids’ patience.
Which regions to combine for the time you have, and why trying to see too much is the most common planning mistake.
Which airport(s) to fly into and how to sequence your route so you’re not backtracking across the country.
Packing, lodging types, and the small family details (car seats, nap timing, pace) that make or break the trip.
Want your trip planned and booked for you?

Costa Rica Trip Planning Course Questions

It’s for parents planning a Costa Rica trip themselves who feel stuck between too many options and too many opinions. You don’t need to have traveled abroad before, and you don’t need a plan yet.

The course is $27, one time, with lifetime access. You pay once and keep every module, so you can come back to it as your plans change.

About 90 minutes across 5 modules, and you do it on your own time. I walk you through each step on screen, the same way I plan a family trip.

You’ll know the best time for your family to go, how you’ll get around, which areas make sense, how your route flows, and what to plan around for a comfortable trip.

The course teaches you how I plan the trip so you can do it yourself. If you finish and want me to look over your plan with you, the options for that are in the course.

Christa really helped put my mind at ease concerning my upcoming trip to Costa Rica. I have never been out of the US before. She has a wealth of knowledge and recommendations for activities and how to save money and travel safely. Definitely worth the consult fee. Pro Tip: get the notes :) Blessings

Planning a 2-month trip to Costa Rica felt completely overwhelming until I started working with Christa. She was incredibly helpful in organizing all of my ideas and actually making the trip come to fruition. I was feeling so stuck trying to figure out where to go, how long to stay in each place, and how to make the itinerary flow — and she made the entire process feel so much easier. We met roughly 5-6 times before our trip to plan out all details and Christa was super helpful in creating a timeline and meeting agenda’s. I had my parents and best friend visiting and we even called meetings with them so that everyone could hear from Christa! Her recommendations were amazing, and we absolutely loved the areas she suggested — especially Sámara, which ended up being one of our favorite parts of the trip! She really listened to what we were looking for and helped create a plan that felt perfect for our family. She was super cognizant of our family’s needs and truly planned ideas with the kids in mind (ages 3 and 5). I’m so grateful for all of her guidance, knowledge, and support throughout the planning process. Highly recommend working with Christa if you’re planning a Costa Rica trip!

Christa's blog and guides were immensely helpful, but her personal attention and trip planning recommendations were top notch. Every option was great and it really helped me plan my first visit in a way that met my top needs for a solo trip with my child.

Christa helped us organize our trip to Costa Rica. She worked within our budget and suggested a fantastic mid range hotel where we saw huge iguanas, toucans, howler monkeys and enjoyed a hot spring swim up bar and great buffet. Our family included a high schooler and college age boys. All had fun!

One conversation with Christa saved me so many hours combing through online reviews and travel sites. I don’t have to second guess my plans or worry if we are doing the right amount of adventuring versus relaxing. All of her advice is with kids in mind because she has first-hand experience traveling with her kids just about everywhere in Costa Rica. Her knowledge is far above and beyond what a typical travel agent can offer.

Christa was very nice and helpful in helping me plan my trip for my family - from places to stay, activities to do, and places to eat. We went with a good itinerary in place and everything worked out perfectly without the any stress! She gave great recommendations based on your interests and your budget. Highly recommend Christa!
