About us
Founded over 30 years ago, Explore Costa Rica emerged from our deep love for this extraordinary country’s natural wonders and vibrant culture. What began as a small ecotourism venture has grown into a comprehensive service provider for travelers and expats alike.
Our team combines local expertise with international experience, ensuring authentic adventures and seamless transitions for those visiting or relocating to Costa Rica. We’ve personally explored every waterfall, trail, and beach we recommend, building relationships with communities throughout the country.
We believe in responsible tourism that protects the environments we cherish while creating meaningful experiences that transform lives. Our dedication to conservation extends beyond our tours through partnerships with leading environmental organizations and community development initiatives.
"Our 8-day tour through Tortuguero, Arenal, and Manuel Antonio exceeded every expectation. The wildlife encounters were incredible—we saw sloths, toucans, and even a family of howler monkeys! Our guide Miguel's knowledge transformed what would have been a good vacation into an unforgettable experience."

The Pacuare River overnight expedition was the highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Professional guides, breathtaking scenery, and the perfect balance of thrilling rapids and peaceful floats. Staying at the riverside lodge was magical—falling asleep to jungle sounds is something we'll never forget.

Volunteering at the Pacuare Reserve for sea turtle conservation changed my perspective on eco-tourism. Two weeks of meaningful work alongside dedicated conservationists was both humbling and inspiring. Explore Costa Rica handled all the logistics flawlessly.
