Latin America & Europe specialist Specialist

I have experienced iconic travel adventures, such as going on safari in Botswana, marvelling at the aurora borealis in Iceland, celebrating the Carnevale in Venice, walking the Camino de Santiago route from Portugal to Spain, trekking the Inca trail to reach Machu Picchu and marvelling at the stars from Salar de Uyuni while camping out of an Airstream. As of late, most of my holidays have involved the outdoors and nature and I have an ongoing love affair with Patagonia. Choosing to work at Scott Dunn was borne from an epiphany that since travel has done so much to enrich my life, I am most passionate about endorsing these experiences to others.

When is the best time to go on honeymoon to Costa Rica?

Many people opt to visit Costa Rica during the dry season which runs between December and April. Choosing to embark on your honeymoon in Costa Rica during this period means you should encounter the best weather conditions, giving you a better opportunity to enjoy this richly diverse region in all its glory. However, this is also its busiest season and requires booking well in advance, from 6 months to a year.

If you are keen to explore Costa Rica when it's generally quieter, you could look to book during the 'green season'. Although you may experience inclement weather due to the country's tropical climate, you'll be able to visit more intimate and secluded locations when they are less crowded.
How long does a Costa Rica honeymoon with Scott Dunn last?

Our luxury honeymoons in Costa Rica typically last between 11 and 13 nights. Our travel experts have carefully curated tours to tick all the boxes but, as with any of our holidays, you can amend the duration of your trip to suit your wants and needs.
