What Season Is Best to Go for My Family?
Costa Rica has two distinct seasons: the dry season (December to April), locally called summer, and the green season (May to November), which brings afternoon rains that keep the country lush and vibrant. Each period offers a unique travel experience, and the right time to visit depends on which activities matter most to your family.

| Season | Months | Weather | Best Activities |
| Dry Season | Dec – Apr | Sunny, low humidity, minimal rain | Sportfishing, beach, ATV tours, sailing, surfing |
| Shoulder (Dry–Wet) | May | Occasional showers, still warm | Sportfishing peak, canopy zip-line, catamaran |
| Green Season | Jun – Aug | Afternoon rains, lush landscapes | Rafting (high water), waterfalls, national parks |
| Green Season | Sep – Oct | Rainiest months, remote and quiet | Hot springs, Arenal Volcano, rainforest hikes |
| Shoulder (Wet–Dry) | Nov | Transitioning, mix of sun and rain | Fishing picks up, Monteverde, cooking tours |
