Leap to Costa Rica
turtle conservation + cloud forest exploration + beach bliss
Why choose this 12-day Midlife small group tour in Costa Rica? Because it’s a journey into this small but mighty country that has captured the world’s imagination. Costa Rica isn’t just beautiful; it’s a testament to the power of preserving our planet.
Holding over 5% of the world’s biodiversity and leading the charge in conservation, it embodies the why behind protecting our natural world.
This solo travel adventure, enjoyed as a small, safe team, is about more than swimming in volcanic hot springs or zip-lining through cloud forests - though those moments will ignite your sense of wonder, it’s about understanding why these ecosystems matter. As you hike to hidden waterfalls or unwind in Santa Teresa’s laid-back charm, you’ll see firsthand how Costa Rica’s landscapes are intrinsically linked to its people’s commitment to sustainability. The highlight? Experiencing turtle conservation efforts woven into your journey. These projects aren’t just activities - they’re a window into why protecting endangered species is vital for future generations.
This trip will reawaken your adventurous spirit while connecting you to something far greater: the why of conservation and the beauty of giving back.

Our reviews speak for themselves
A great mix of fun and learning.
I was initially attracted by the opportunity to help conserve the turtles and we were exceptionally lucky to be involved in locating and moving a nest of recently laid eggs and to watch newly hatched turtles being released into the ocean. A totally unforgettable experience. ”
In all this I think the Midlife Leap is very clever. We were able to experience a country, get under the skin of it and see it properly, feel comfortable without it seeming we were on a ‘holiday’. Which we weren’t. Volunteering and meeting locals and having Chris guiding us through it all made the ordinary extraordinary. ”
Invest in you with a life-changing Midlife Leap
High five your inner self, fuel your mojo and return home enriched with a guaranteed sense of achievement. And that’s a promise.
