About this trip

Solo travelers are welcome!  Travel with us and find your community! 


Imagine this…


You start your New Year in beautiful and incredibly biodiverse  Costa Rica - the perfect combination of adventure and serenity. You wake up to the sun peeking through the lush green jungle trees and the sound of chirping birds and playful howler monkeys. Take a short walk to the beach for an early morning swim in the warm Caribbean Sea or relax in a hammock before enjoying a rejuvenating morning yoga session and a fresh, delicious breakfast prepared specially for you by our own professional chef. 


Join Brooke and Jodye for 7 days and 6 nights in paradise to kick off the year with the tropical adventure you’ve been craving and the rest and relaxation you deserve. You’ll spend the week with like-minded people creating a vision for 2024. You’ll leave feeling connected to both yourself and your new-found community.   


Each day will consist of group yoga practices to move the body and calm the mind, along with three nourishing, delicious (and beautiful!) meals prepared on-site by our talented retreat chef. Enjoy a group snorkeling excursion through warm, crystal clear water to explore coral reefs and colorful marine life. Experience group hikes through the lush rainforest in nearby Cahuita National Park and waterfall swims at BriBri Falls. Spend your down-time connecting with the group or spending quality time with yourself by adding on a luxurious on-site massage, relaxing by the pool, or wandering around the beautiful retreat-center grounds landscaped with jungle trees and native Caribbean flowers.


Enjoy the freedom to pick and choose the activities you’d like to make this retreat exactly what you’re craving. Additional options include taking a surf lesson, visiting the black sand beach Playa Negra, or taking a short walk to the nearby town of Cahuita. 


Your home for the week is the beautiful, eco-boutique retreat center - Casa Firefly. Every room has a ceiling fan, AC, storage closet, ensuite bathroom, patio complete with chairs and a hammock, and comfortable beds. Choose between a room with a king bed or two single beds as availability lasts. Enjoy an on-site pool and yoga shala. Casa Firefly is nestled where the jungle meets the sea in perfect proximity to nearby activities. From the retreat center, you can take a five minute walk to the beach. It is a 30 minute walk (or five minute drive by taxi) to the nearby Cahuita National Park and the town of Cahuita, where you can experience local shopping and dining.  


Together we will start 2024 feeling connected and content. We will engage in a variety of yoga practices to bring you closer to the fulfillment of your vision for the year. We’ll practice asana (the physical practice of yoga), guided meditations, restorative pranayama/breathwork, and enjoy simple quality time. Let go of inherited beliefs. Nourish your mind and body while having fun!


Shared or private rooms available. Single travelers are welcome, and we can match you with a roommate! 


Important Note: We have arranged two shuttles to transport guests from San Jose to our retreat property in Cahuita. The last shuttle leaves San Jose at 2:00 pm on January 4th.  Please arrange your flights to arrive either before 1:00 PM on January 4thth, or arrive on January 3rd.  If you choose to arrive on January 3rd, we will help you arrange a hotel room near the airport, and transportation to the shuttle.

This trip was such a great experience. It is hard to pick a favorite. Every activity was different and unique. Thank you for a hosting an all women’s retreat. It was so cool to see how everyone else received the trip as well. Thank you for all the Peruvian memories!

What a thrill it was to have such a great time with new people. A great mix of adventure, culture and laughs. I can’t wait to go on another Kula trip.

This trip was fantastic! Women on the retreat were sweet and kind; they were awesome. The accommodations and food were excellent. Jodye is an invaluable representative of this Peruvian adventure. I plan on traveling with Jodye in the future. Jodye, thank you for everything!

Jodye puts together an amazing trip. Every detail was thought of including wonderful accommodations, adventures, cultural experiences, fancy picnics, terrific local guides and more. Joyce’s love of Peru and the people shows. It’s so much more than a typical tour - and the memories will last a lifetime. I’d highly recommend this to anyone considering a visit to Peru.

Jodye planned an amazing trip! Everything we did was perfect. Our guides were knowledgeable and like family by the end. The hike to Machu Picchu was the highlight of my trip. It was a difficult hike but the views were worth it. The Mountain View Experience was so much fun. We got to feed alpacas and llamas right from our hot tubs. I would definitely recommend taking a trip with Jodye and Kula Adventures, you won't be disappointed.
