Turn Passover Into A Unique Experience

Jews everywhere look forward to the special holy day of Passover. The Passover is revered as one of the most important of the holy days and is a time of rest and recreation for both Jews and Samaritans. This is a time when the Jewish people enjoy time with friends and family and often travel together to create everlasting Passover memories.

Of course, it’s important for the Jewish community to adhere to a kosher diet, according to traditional Jewish law. While the rest of the world will eat most any type of foods while on vacation or holiday, the Jewish people want to enjoy Passover tours where they can enjoy their kosher foods by the best of chefs. Due to the Passover holiday, the Ocotal will have a special guest rabbi available. He leads the communal Seders and also acts as an on-site rabbi. He will also teach a special lecture series to those who are interested.

One option for kosher travel during the Passover is visiting a kosher resort. These resorts are located all over the globe and are organized with the Jewish community in mind. Because Jewish travel is unique, these resorts make a special effort to respect the Jewish holidays and traditions. The programs within these tours are flexible and diverse, but they will always respect the Passover and other Jewish holidays. Visitors will be able to fulfill their religious duties while on vacation without being bothered by the general public.

Costa Rica provides one of the most amazing Passover vacations in the world. These tours include an entire kosher cuisine for the Passover days and usually lasts for approximately ten days. Located at Ocotal, an all-inclusive eco-beach-resort, the area lies along the beautiful Northern Pacific coastline. Along the coastline, there are views of the breathtaking Papagayo Gulf, allowing one to experience a true Costa Rican experience.

The first couple of nights are spent with the Seders, which gives everyone a chance to get acquainted with others on the tour. There are different levels of adventurous tours – from easy to moderate – and they are based on the age and health of the participants. Young children and elderly people generally go for the easier tours while younger people enjoy the more adventurous, physical excursions.

Physical exercise and adventure is waiting in the forms of whitewater rafting, horseback riding, river cruising, rainforest and volcano explorations, snorkeling and other beachside adventures. The dolphins will be waiting in the waters for visitors to come swim with them. Everyone wants to explore the area because of the beauty and tranquility found here.

Ocotal offers a unique experience because of the local wildlife. There are many animals that run freely, such as iguanas, raccoons, coatis, monkeys and various kinds of both tropical and sea birds.
