Costa Rica Adventure Holiday for Solo Travellers

Jungle, Tropical Beaches and Animal Safaris

Summer Adventure Holiday for Solo Travellers

Get ready for the ultimate fusion of wild jungle, golden beaches, and unforgettable adventure. In 2026, Cold Fusion invites you to explore the unspoiled Caribbean coast of Costa Rica — a world of vibrant wildlife, warm turquoise seas, and laid-back tropical living.

Our base for this once-in-a-lifetime trip is the luxurious Jungle Villas, set in the jungle just steps from some of the world’s best beaches. Imagine waking up to the calls of howler monkeys, cooling off in your infinity pool, and heading out for days filled with epic jungle treks, surfing hidden breaks, and spotting wildlife you’ve only ever dreamed of.

You’ll be hosted by Steve & Nicky, Cold Fusion’s owners, who have personally curated this trip over years of visits and local connections. Joining the adventure is our dream team: Mike, our guide, driver, kayak expert, and cocktail maestro; Victor, our Costa Rican chef creating fresh local dishes and unforgettable poolside & beach BBQs; plus a handpicked crew of local guides for deeper jungle exploration and night safaris.

This is more than a holiday — it’s a social, small-group adventure (max 15 guests) designed for like-minded travellers. Come solo, with a friend, or with a partner — we can arrange anything from a luxury double bedroom to your own private 5-bedroom villa.

This is your chance to join a carefully planned, exclusive adventure with a lucky few. Life is for living — make the most of it!

Highlights include:

  • 🌿 Jungle hikes in Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge & Cahuita National Park

  • 🐾 Wildlife spotting — monkeys, sloths, toucans & more

  • 🏄 Kayaking pristine rivers & water animal Safari

  • 🌅 Sunset beach BBQs & drinks

  • 🎨 Cultural experiences with the Bribri people & chocolate makers

Fitness Level: Easy to Moderate
This adventure is designed for travellers of all fitness levels. No special training or experience is required — our jungle treks are gentle and paced for everyone to enjoy, focusing on the experience, spotting incredible wildlife, and soaking up the beauty of nature.

All other activities, such as surfing, zip-lining, and more, are completely optional — you can join in as much or as little as you like.

Please note: If you have any underlying medical condition that may require treatment while abroad, this trip may not be suitable for you.

PLEASE NOTE - It is each traveller’s responsibility to ensure they have a valid passport (with at least 6 months’ validity), the required visa, up-to-date vaccinations, and comprehensive travel and health insurance before departure.
