What people love about Costa Rica Tours in November
- Costa Rica Natural Paradise
The way the activities were scheduled for our stay in Monteverde, the prospect for getting anything outdoorsy accomplished in the afternoon was not good, given the typical weather pattern. This according to one of the desk personnel working at the lodge where we were staying, who happened to have previously worked as a travel agent. She was instrumental in getting a better itinerary hammered out with the company responsible. The lodging in Tamarindo was great even if the walk into town required navigating a highly traveled dirt road. Thank goodness for turismo vans.
- Journeys: Explore Costa Rica National Geographic Journeys
We had a diverse group of people of 16 from Canada, US and UK. Ages ranged from 40s to 70s. Our "CEO", Jeff Young, did an excellent job identifying each of our skills and interests. He made recommendations along the way and was always engaging. His knowledge of Costa Rica, the culture, the birds, the wildlife, the history, etc. was amazing and something I want to further read about once I return home. We were most impressed by differences in the areas we explored and loved our experience.
- The Best of Costa Rica
Delighted with this tour! Everything was planned and organised for us and ran smoothly with no problems. The hotels were all lovely, the food was great, the transfers were on time, and communication from the team was fantastic. We particularly like Tortuguero and Tortuga but all the destinations were worth visiting.
What our customers ask about Costa Rica Tours in November 2025
What is the weather like in Costa Rica during November?
November signals Costa Rica's shift from wet to dry season with regional variations throughout the country. Visitors to Arenal and Monteverde can expect temperatures between 75-85°F with scattered afternoon showers. The Caribbean coastline near Tortuguero maintains its characteristic humidity punctuated by quick rain bursts while Pacific shores begin to dry out. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The weather was amazing even during shoulder season allowing us to fully enjoy activities like hiking in Arenal Volcano National Park and relaxing at Manuel Antonio's beaches."
What unique wildlife can I spot in Costa Rica during November?
Tortuguero National Park offers prime wildlife viewing with more than 350 bird species alongside monkeys sloths and crocodiles. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve home to 2.5% of global biodiversity provides regular sightings of quetzals toucans and howler monkeys. One TourRadar reviewer shared: "We saw countless species in Tortuguero including three different types of monkeys toucans and even baby sea turtles making their way to the ocean."
What are the advantages of visiting Costa Rica in November?
The benefits of a November visit include fewer tourists easier bookings at sought-after properties like Arenal Kioro and Monteverde Country Lodge and lower prices than peak season. Animals are particularly active during this time making wildlife spotting more frequent. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "November was perfect - we got great deals on accommodations and enjoyed many activities without the crowds."
What kind of accommodation options are available in November?
Accommodations range from basic hostels to high-end resorts. Popular choices include the Arenal Kioro or Arenal Springs Resort near the volcano Turtle Beach Lodge in Tortuguero and Hotel Poco a Poco in Monteverde. As one TourRadar reviewer noted: "The accommodations were beautiful from rustic eco-lodges in Tortuguero to upscale resorts in Arenal."
What are the best activities to do in Costa Rica in November?
The month provides ideal conditions for rafting the Pacuare River hiking Arenal Volcano National Park and exploring Monteverde Cloud Forest. Additional options include soaking in hot springs near Arenal Volcano and taking boat tours through Tortuguero's waterways. Hotels like Arenal Manoa offer easy access to both volcano hikes and hot springs according to TourRadar travelers.
Are there any special events or festivals in Costa Rica during November?
Cultural celebrations fill November beginning with Día de los Muertos on November 2nd followed by the vibrant Limon Carnival on the Caribbean coast celebrating Afro-Caribbean heritage. San José hosts local festivals featuring traditional music dance and cuisine. The Park Inn San José often helps visitors arrange transportation to these cultural events.
What is the price range for accommodations in Costa Rica during November?
November rates trend lower than peak season. Basic hotels like Sleep Inn San Jose cost between 100-150 USD nightly while Monteverde eco-lodges range from 150-200 USD. Luxury properties such as Los Lagos resort & spa in Arenal typically charge 200-300 USD per night. Tour packages often include stays at properties like Lomas del Volcán or Turtle Beach Lodge providing better value than separate bookings.
