This week on the Travel with Kids Podcast I'm bringing my husband, Justin, on to help me share about our first international trip as a family of 6: Costa Rica!

We'll share our one week itinerary for a family vacation to Costa Rica, how much it costs to travel to Costa Rica as a family of 6, and a few tips to know before you go. 

We flew into San Jose, Costa Rica, then took a private transfer to get to La Fortuna - near the Arenal Volcano. We stayed at Arenal Manoa (affiliate link), an amazing hotel with free breakfast and a great view of Arenal from every room!

In La Fortuna we went ziplining and took a sloth tour! (affiliate link)

Next we took another private transfer to the beach town of Sámara, located in the Guanacaste region. We stayed at Villas Kalimba (affiliate link), which was a perfect fit for our family of 6. 

In Sámara we went horseback riding and took a dolphin tour!
