Costa Rica is an adventure travel paradise, and there are no shortage of things to do.

My top 5 list goes like this:

1. Learn to surf in Tamarindo
2. Go scuba diving in Playas del Coco
3. Do a canopy tour in Monteverde (zip lines through the jungle)
4. Fish for sailfish out of Quepos
5. Visit Arenal Volcano and see the night fireworks, er lavaworks ;-)

There are loads more things to do, this is just a starter.

Check out the Adventure Travel "To Do" List below for some good ideas.

The Canopy Tour {Zip Lining} and Hiking at Monte Verde "ROCK"!!! Surfing {and the night life} at Tamarindo is good and Deep Sea Fishing at Flamingo was good also. Volcano Arenal is a good spot as is the windsurfing on Lake Arenal.

Go to any beach and go to Monte Verde.

If you are in Costa Rica, you should have a really good idea of what is there. But here are some things you can find in CR: white water rafting, kayaking, surfing, beaches, hiking, biking, ATV, horseback riding, volcanoes, rain forest, canopy tours, suspension bridge hiking, shopping, spice farms, butterfly gardens, zoos, botanical gardens, guided tours (such as the city of San Jose with history and stuff), catamaran rides, waterfalls, museums, hot springs, and repelling. I think I just named everything I've ever done in CR and a bunch of stuff that I haven't gotten around to yet. But that should give you an idea of what you can do while you are there.
