From Costa Rica to Italy so much more, where will you choose to go?
The Navigo pickleball tour to Costa Rica was a great way to see the country while enjoying pickleball play and wonderful tours and activities. We were privileged to observe a huge active volcano, tour a world-class coffee farm, challenge ourselves on one of the top zipline courses in the whole world, go to a national park for sloth and birdwatching along with a world-class beach, enjoy a cooking class at a countryside eatery, and get a feel for what Costa Rica has to offer.
It is billed as a pickleball tour, but a non-pickleball playing partner will have a wonderful experience too as there is so much to do and see beyond the play.
It’s great to kick back on the small tour bus and let them manage the curvy mountain roads and traffic while the local tour guide gives you an intimate look at Costa Rican life and culture.”

Navigo Pickleball | Costa Rica 2025This Costa Rica tour was extremely well organized. Dave was always very responsive to questions as the trip was being organized. Maikol was so knowledgeable in giving us background on the country and in making sure we had authentic type experiences. He had such a great sense of humor, and also extreme patience with all the questions being constantly lobbed at him. Even the bus driver was an asset as a lot of times I have had drivers that I was really uncomfortable with. He was wonderful navigating all that traffic and roads. It was so much fun with the mixture of pickleball and touring. I definitely felt like the trip was good value and that we got our money’s worth. Something about the mixture of play and tours really brought the group together and the mix of personalities was so enjoyable. A worthwhile trip!

Navigo Pickleball | Costa Rica 2025I can’t say enough good things about our Navigo Sports Tours pickleball vacation to Costa Rica! The trip was jam-packed with fun things to do including zip lining, a volcano hike, a cooking class, a national park tour, a crocodile river tour, and more! All this and 4 days of friendly pickleball too! The arrangements went off without a hitch. Not an easy thing to do with such a busy itinerary. Kudos to our tour director David, our local guide Maiko,l and our driver Mario. I can’t wait to book another tour with Navigo Pickleball Vacations!
