The Ultimate Spring Break Travel Guide

Thrill Seekers

For the adventure-seekers out there, there are several options that would make an ideal vacation. Costa Rica offers thrilling activities like zip-lining in the cloud forests, hiking through the rainforests as well as world-class scuba diving. Iceland is another choice that is a hot up-and-coming spring break destination where adventurous activities abound with glacier hikes, volcano tours, snorkeling, and geothermal pools to explore like the famous Blue Lagoon.

Where to Stay: In Costa Rica try the Riu Palace Costa Rica located in Guanacaste on the edge of the beach of Matapalo, featuring 4 sparkling pools, gourmet cuisine and the Renova Spa Wellness Center. It is also conveniently located to explore the National Park Rincon de la Vieja, the Safari Park or the capital of Guanacaste.
