Concierge.com's insider take:
When you come out of the jungle, Costa Rica has plenty of other activities to keep you busy (unless you'd prefer to chill out on the beach, of course).
Diving
Because it has long been a tourist destination, the Pacific Coast is where you'll find the most diving options. Diving Safaris travels to more than 20 dive sites along the coast (506-2672-1259; www.costaricadiving.net). In Manuel Antonio, Oceans Unlimited has trips to what many say is the country's best dive site, Canto Island (506-2777-3171; www.oceansunlimitedcr.com).
Rafting and Kayaking
If you prefer to stay above water, Ríos Tropicales has white-water rafting trips for all skill levels on various rivers, including the Savegre and the Pacuare River (506-2669-6262; www.riostropicales.com). Near Manuel Antonio National Park, Amigos del Río offers half-day or one-day rafting trips on the Naranjo and Savegre rivers (506-2777-1084; www.adventuremanuelantonio.com). In nearby Quepos, Iguana Tours offers kayaking trips through the bird-filled mangrove forests (506-2777-2052; www.iguanatours.com).
Horseback Riding
Based in La Fortuna, near Lake Arenal, Desafío Adventures has horseback-riding trips that take you all the way to Monteverde—bypassing the terrible roads along the way (506-2479-9464; www.desafiocostarica.com). Hacienda Guachipelín, based near Rincón de la Vieja National Park, has a stable of around 50 horses and organizes scenic tours around the area (506-2665-3215; www.guachipelin.com).
