Memories that last a lifetime...
At E4 Travel we understand the importance of family and the value of family vacation time. We take special care in preparing our family vacation itineraries ensuring that destinations, activities, lodging, meals, and transportation are suitable for everyone.
We focus on activities that match the interests and ages of your children including visits to butterfly farms, reptile exhibits, museums, widlife refugees and national parks. Participation in community based tourism allows children to interact with young people in Costa Rica, providing a glimpse of the similarities and differences in school, home, and recreation between and among cultures. You may also choose to stay at an all inclusive resort with all eco activities located close by to eliminate domestic travel time. Family travel initiatives provide opportunities for you to work together as a family unit to complete a volunteer project or initiative in Costa Rica. The choice is yours with E4 Travel.
Our custom itineraries are ideal for families seeking to travel efficiently, eliminating long waits for transportation, activities, and most importantly food! In most cases, E4 Travel will ensure that restaurants are waiting and ready to serve you after a long day of activity and travel. E4 Travel guides provide additional organization, communication, and culture to your travel experience as well.
