Redefining Exclusive Travel in Costa Rica & Panama
Exploring Costa Rica and Panama is already a dream—but discovering them with Kontiki Expeditions transforms that dream into something deeply personal and extraordinary. Our itineraries are designed for travelers who value authenticity, closeness to nature, and meaningful cultural encounters. Rather than simply visiting a destination, we invite our guests to truly inhabit it, sailing through pristine coasts where biodiversity thrives and local communities keep ancient traditions alive.
What sets Kontiki apart begins with scale and intention. With a boutique yacht accommodating only a small number of guests (16), every journey feels intimate and curated with care. This human-scale experience allows our team to shape each moment—whether it’s a sunrise paddleboard session, a guided rainforest exploration, or a quiet evening anchored in a secluded bay—so that it aligns with your rhythm, your interests, and your desire for connection. Our size is our strength: more access, more flexibility, more time to savor what matters.
Another defining feature of Kontiki Expeditions is the seamless fusion of comfort and adventure. We believe exploration should engage the senses while still offering the serenity needed to recharge. After days spent snorkeling vibrant marine sanctuaries, meeting local artisans, or hiking through coastal trails teeming with wildlife, guests return to the warmth of a dedicated crew, refined onboard spaces, and thoughtful service designed to foster ease, wellbeing, and presence.
Sustainability and cultural respect also lie at the heart of every expedition. Our routes in Costa Rica and Panama are intentionally low-impact, operating in harmony with local ecosystems and supporting coastal communities through fair partnerships. By choosing Kontiki, travelers become part of a movement that values preservation, conscious travel, and the safeguarding of natural treasures for future generations. This commitment amplifies the authenticity and meaningfulness of every experience on board.
The benefits of traveling with Kontiki extend beyond the itinerary—they unfold through the sense of belonging that emerges on board. Our expert guides, wellness specialists, and passionate crew cultivate a warm, inviting atmosphere where guests feel seen and inspired. It’s this blend of personalized exploration, ocean serenity, and genuine human connection that keeps explorers returning to Kontiki again and again.
And for those seeking a transformative experience in movement, mindfulness, and nature, Kontiki presents Becoming Water – Yoga & Wellness Retreat, sailing February 13–16, 2026. Guided by renowned movement facilitator Annie Moves, this retreat invites you to reconnect with flow, presence, and the healing rhythm of the Pacific coast. It is the perfect opportunity to discover Kontiki Expeditions at its finest—where exploration becomes renewal, and wellbeing becomes a journey.
