Founded in 1987, Adventure Canada was created to bring travellers to Canada’s “blank spaces”, those areas whose remoteness alone made them special. Over the last fifteen years, along with our guests, we have discovered that there is so much that is extraordinary about the places we travel, from the landscape, wildlife and culture to the history, art and archeology that is unique to every destination. It is our belief that there is so much to see “beyond the binoculars” that drives us to delve deeper into our favourite places with every expedition and continually seek out new destinations.
We travel by small expedition ship, the best suited mode of transportation for remote exploration. The number of passengers on our voyages run between 45 and 100, depending on the ship we choose. We believe that these small vessels are superior, as they not only allow us to gain access to places not accessible by larger vessels, but our fleet of Zodiac landing craft permit us to visit some of the most remote places imaginable – the key to expeditionary travel.

The Pacific coast of Costa Rica and Panama is an explorer’s paradise. Each day offers a new discovery: a port of call, a crystal cove, a cultural experience, a glimpse of history.
Teeming jungles, charming towns, islands abuzz with life: discover the cultures, flora and fauna of Central America!
Day 1 San Jose to Puntarenas, Costa Rica
San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital, sits in the Central Valley region with the Talamanca Mountains to the south and volcanoes to the north.
Arrive at your leisure today, and make your way to our all-inclusive hotel on the Pacific Coast near the small town of Puntarenas.
Day 2 Puntarenas to Puerto Caldera Port
Enjoy the day in the sun at our all-inclusive hotel. In the afternoon, we will transfer to the M/S Panorama and set sail south down the coast.
Day 3 Quepos and Manual Antonio Reserve
Manuel Antonio Reserve is a wonderful place to view wildlife, with plentiful white-faced capuchin, howler, and squirrel monkeys. The reserve also features a Forest Canopy Tour for an aerial view.
In the afternoon, those not on the canopy tour will have a chance to explore the quaint town of Quepos.

Start your morning with an optional walking excursion in the Curu Nature Reserve with the local Rangers and our naturalists.

Drake Bay is known to be a common wintering and breeding ground for humpback whales.

Puerto Jimenez is a small town in the southern region of Puntarenas Province. With just over 3,000 inhabitants, this historic gold mining and logging community is one of the largest towns on the Osa Peninsual. The rare scarlet macaw can be found in the surrounding jungle.
Plants at the area’s famed Casa Orquideas (House of Orchids) include orchids, heliconias, bromeliads.
Day 7 Isla Coiba, Panama
The island of Coiba retains 80% of its original forest cover—thanks to the penal colony located there for ninety years, which hosted Panama’s most notorious criminals.
