Sesiones

Adventures Under the Sun has been offering exciting adventure travel programs for teenagers for over ten years. During this time, family, friends and parents of many of our participants constantly requested we schedule the same or similar trips for them. Thus, five years ago we began to organize small adventure trips for the friends and parents of many of our teen travelers. At the same time, we began to offer our local knowledge and assistance to larger teen travel companies abroad, and Sessions Under the Sun was born. As Costa Rican outdoor enthusiasts, we are delighted to share some of our favorite surfing, back packing, and sea kayaking trip itineraries which we have tested on our own families and friends, and which can be tailored to meet your needs.

The Company: Sessions Under the Sun is an operative branch of AUSun that customizes private trips for groups of adults and families, and offers professional local assistance for large foreign teen adventure travel companies. 

The Mission: Provide the highest quality of true adventure travel operations in Costa Rica. 

Our Goal: Encourage others to revaluate their ideals, create a better sense of community, appreciate the environment in its natural, undisturbed state, and further grasp the impact of our species on the Earth. 

How: By offering professional local expertise for the research, development, operations and logistical coordination of quiet open air adventure travel activities like surfing, sea kayaking, snorkeling, horseback riding and back packing.

Sessions has created Scheduled Adventure Trips for adults exploring different regions of the country.  The trips were started as an idea to get a group of friends together to get to know new places in the country.  Now, it has grown to invite couples, mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, or individuals of all walks of life living in Costa Rica or abroad that are interested in exploring unique areas of the country.  The trips usually include at least one adventure quiet sport such as sea kayaking or hiking.  Participants must have a basic level of physical fitness and a high level of mental preparation and excitement to join.  See Scheduled Trips on the main menu to learn more about the upcoming trips and to sign up!
