    Join NatureArt Lab on our Costa Rica Nature Tour

    Join NatureArt Lab for a once-in-a-lifetime nature tour of Costa Rica’s unique biodiversity. Start the tour by visiting the famous Braulio Carrillo National Park, which is famous for Barva Volcano, and several other dormant volcanoes. 

    Then, discover Cahuita National Park on foot and by kayak to spot sloths, monkeys, lizards, and birds in their natural habitat. Next, we’ll journey to Sarapiqui, where you’ll participate in optional whitewater rafting, chocolate tours, and more nature walks.

    We’ll also visit the immense Arenal volcano before journeying to Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, where you can spot the Green Macaw and more beautiful wildlife.

    A major highlight of the tour will be discovering the Osa Peninsula, the most remote, wild and biodiverse region of Central America. Finally, we’ll finish up the tour in Dominical, known for its surfing beaches and forest trails.

    Along the way, you’ll experience nature art workshops and get to know like-minded travellers on your tour over delicious meals and activities together.

    Trip to Atherton Tablelands and Kutini Payamu National Park, Cape York - 1 to 17 May 2020 - by Julie Lyne

    NatureArt Lab's 2020 seventeen-day journey to the far north Queensland regions of the Atherton Tablelands and Cape York revealed a wealth of biodiversity, but also the existential threats to habitat in many areas. From insects as beautiful as the Cairns Birdwing butterflies to giant stick insects and land snails, hundreds of birds from the tiniest fern wrens to the Southern Cassowary, from leaf-tailed geckos to Boyd's forest dragon, green tree frogs, saw-shelled turtles to crocodile tracks, platypus to northern spotted quoll and cus cus and my unexpected favourite - possums, striped, coppery brushtail, Herbert River, and green!
