Leading vacation destinations for German tourists 2024-2025
“Discover adventures beyond your imagination in Costa Rica’s natural paradise” – Sukia Travel
As the world started to run at a good pace again after the pandemic, many travelers are itching to satiate their wanderlust with new international destinations, and that’s natural. While favorites like Spain and Italy remain popular European escapes, travelers are also seeking exotic vistas beyond the continent. Located just a short flight away, the vibrant country of Costa Rica is emerging as one of the top vacation spots for forward-thinking German tourists in 2024-2025.
Topping my list of recommendations for those seeking their next global adventure is the vibrant Central American country of Costa Rica. Whatever you’re craving to experience – from Costa Rica adventure tours and impressive national parks to wildlife spotting – this delightful place has it all.
An ideal base for exploring Costa Rica's natural treasures
Situated on the temperate Osa Peninsula on Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, the laidback coastal town of Drake Bay, Costa Rica, makes an ideal home base for your unforgettable explorations. Removed from the more touristic destinations, Drake Bay offers easy access to some of Costa Rica’s most spectacular natural attractions without the crowds.
A short boat ride away lies Corcovado National Park – considered one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Home to jaguars, tapirs, and countless other neotropical species, multi-day Corcovado National Park Tours give you the rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural splendor of a lowland tropical rainforest. Nearby, too, is picturesque Carate Beach, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or spotting dolphins offshore.
For adventure seekers, I highly recommend partaking in some unique multi-sport adventures. Options include travelling through the forest canopy, snorkelling colorful reefs, boat safaris, or embarking on thrilling river kayaking and Costa Rica trekking tours. One unforgettable experience involves exploring remote jungle canyons via rappelling, rope climbing, and swimming – a rush of adrenaline and natural beauty, unlike anything you’ll find back home in Germany!
Discover wildlife up close on guided nature excursions
Whether traversing emerald rainforests or swimming in turquoise seas, one of the greatest thrills of a Costa Rica holiday comes from spotting fascinating endemic creatures in their natural habitats. Sukia Travel’s knowledgeable bilingual naturalist guides will help make your wildlife dreams a reality with specialized excursions tailored to your interests – from birdwatching and monkey-spotting to the quest to photograph that elusive jaguar. Here are some top options:
- Costa Rica wildlife tours to Corcovado National Park offer a rare chance to explore one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. With over 450 bird species and 100 mammals, including bush dogs and Baird’s tapirs, spotting opportunities here are endless over multiple days of trekking.
- On multi-day photo safaris, you’ll rise before dawn to maximize chances of seeing raptors like harpy eagles swoop between treetops backlit by the sunrise. Late afternoon and dusk excursions also let you photograph spectacular sloths, coatis and more in the magic hour light.
- Drake Bay is a top spot in Central America for sighting migrating humpback whales from December to April. Take a glass-bottom boat tour for amazing below-surface views of songful whales and their calves. You might also spot dolphins, sea turtles, and colourful reef fish.
- Birdwatchers will delight in Sukia Travel’s specialized jungle tours across diverse habitats. Spot elusive trogons and toucans high in the canopy via strategic trail access. Or scan marshlands for waders and herons with spotting scopes from wooden observation platforms.
With your bilingual naturalist expertly spotting wildlife, identifying calls, and providing fun facts, these bespoke excursions let you achieve a deeper connection with Costa Rica’s astounding biodiversity than possible on your own. Come prepared to be amazed!
