Life is a journey, and there’s no better occasion to celebrate it than on a milestone birthday. As you reach the remarkable milestone of turning 50, think about exciting destinations that allow you to connect with nature and experience the breathtaking beauty of our world’s wonders.

Costa Rica offers a wealth of activities, natural features and unique tourism experiences that you cannot get anywhere else. If you’re looking for 50th birthday party ideas for a destination trip, you will not want to miss out on the exclusivity of a private experience nestled in the rainforest and alongside the beach in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Just as for a destination wedding or wellness retreat, the importance of location for this celebration cannot be overstated.

When you book a stay at a luxury villa on the “Rich Coast” for your birthday stay, you will gain access to scenic coastal panoramas, aquatic sports, exclusive landscapes and exotic wildlife right on the property. Despite being a small country, Costa Rica is home to nearly 6% of the world’s flora and fauna. Many of these species you cannot find anywhere else in the world!

Costa Rica is also known for its incredible rainforests, waterfalls, hot springs and volcanos. You can even experience the miraculous glow of its bioluminescent beaches and run your hands through the ghostly blue “stars” in the sand! Whether you prefer a peaceful vacation or adrenaline-pumping adventure travel, consider exploring this amazing country for your 50th birthday to soak in the pura vida lifestyle with your closest friends.

Group Activity Ideas for a 50th Birthday Trip

Your 50th birthday offers the chance to commemorate five decades of learning, loving and soul-searching. You deserve to have all of your loved ones present as you immerse yourself in the tranquility that Costa Rica has to offer.

Picture yourself sinking into a plush lounge chair as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. You take a sip of a refreshing cocktail—its coolness contrasting perfectly with the warm tropical breeze on your skin—while the sound of gentle waves lap against the shore. There are endless exciting and relaxing activities you can enjoy with your loved ones on your birthday stay in paradise.

At Villa Punto de Vista Estate, we understand the stress of planning a large celebration. That’s why we offer personalized concierge services that handle all logistics, including booking activities and arranging private excursions, so you can focus on what truly matters—celebrating this special moment with your loved ones.

Imagine it. Instead of organizing a party in your city, you can wow your guests in a beautiful and exotic destination. So, don’t just throw yourself a standard birthday party—celebrate this momentous occasion with an unforgettable vacation surrounded by your closest friends and family.

Making Your Stay Exclusive: Private Excursions

From the calm of peaceful beaches to the lively energy of cultural hubs, you’ll find many destinations and experiences ideal for traveling with a large group. Celebrate your special day in your own unique style—because your 50th is all about embracing joy, creating unforgettable memories and sharing laughter with loved ones.

At Villa Punto de Vista Estate, you’ll enjoy private excursions you cannot find anywhere else. The following are some of the exclusive 50th birthday trip ideas for group adventures you can experience at our private luxury villas.

Imagine the gentle sway of a horse beneath you as you ride through lush valleys, the sweet scent of wildflowers filling the air and the distant sound of cascading waterfalls creating a symphony of nature on your journey. You and your friends can tour all the natural beauty this country has to offer, learning from knowledgeable guides along the way. Take a morning tour to start your adventures early, or opt for an afternoon ride with an included lunch!

Itching to feel that ocean breeze on your face? Take your group for a Jet Ski tour! This activity is perfect for those who love exploring the coastline—but with a burst of adrenaline. Our guides will accompany you on this tour as you roam in your personal watercraft around cliffs and coves. Keep an eye out for whales, dolphins and other stunning wildlife along the reef.

4. Isla Tortuga

Isla Tortuga is one of the most coveted destinations in all of Costa Rica. Take your loved ones to relax on the beach or go snorkeling through the emerald-colored waters. Try scuba diving to dive even deeper—you’ll catch sight of beautiful marine life, including manta rays, sharks and octopuses. Scuba diving and snorkeling are fantastic seasonal activities, especially on Isla Tortuga and Isla del Cano.

Kids and history buffs will delight in the opportunity to spot three famous shipwrecks just off the shore of Isla Tortuga and learn about the secrets of these sunken vessels. It’s the perfect spot for a day excursion and includes activities for all ages. You won’t forget the rich colors of the sunset when sailing back to your villa.

5. Canopy Tours

Your entire group will get the thrill of a lifetime while zipping through Costa Rica’s dense forests and capturing unparalleled views of beautiful sunny skies and pristine beaches. Zip line tours are an extremely popular activity because they’re suitable for almost anyone.

6. Sport and Fly Fishing

One of the best 50th birthday family trip ideas is fishing at your leisure in coastal emerald waters. Explore the local waters with experienced guides who can take you to the best spots. For example, Marina Pez Vela is perfect for deep-sea fishing during the high season. Your group can also enjoy nearshore or sport fishing, where you can expect to reel in some wahoo, marlin, yellowfin tuna and sailfish.

7. White Water Rafting

A 50-year milestone is the perfect time to enjoy all the thrilling adventures Costa Rica has to offer. One of the best things about staying in a luxury private villa is that there are plenty of activities to suit everyone’s interests. While some members of your group might prefer to unwind on the beach or learn about wildlife, others can get their adrenaline fix with a white water river rafting adventure! This activity is perfect for those who want to make memories while exploring the churning rapids of the coast.

8. Lessons and Classes

If you’re longing for a relaxed activity to enjoy with your loved ones for your 50th birthday, there are plenty of couple and group classes that give you a taste of Costa Rica’s culture!
