Don't Blink! ...you might miss something.

Our all inclusive nature tours are for anyone interested in discovering the natural wonders of Costa Rica. The tour focuses on the biodiversity of Costa Rica exploring numerous distinct ecosystems found within our relatively small country. We offer two exciting nature tours for you to choose from:

The first begins in Tortuguero where you will search out giant leatherbacks and other turtles laying eggs or hatching on the Caribbean beach. From there you will travel to Arenal to view the mighty volcano, with rainforest, waterfalls, and hot springs to supplement this awe inspiring experience. Your trips ends in Monteverde, saving one of the most unique ecosystems for last. The cool climate, high altitude, and dense forest filled with an abundance of wildlife, serves as a small paradise for nature lover's, especially bird watchers.

Our second tour focuses on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica as we explore Manuel Antonio, Costa Ballena, and the Osa Peninsula. This trip provides an opportunity for visitors to see various national parks that highlight coastal rainforest, where the rainforest leads right up to the beach in many places. The Osa Peninsula is a jewel of Costa Rica, rich in wildlife and natural beauty, but dependent on conservation, protection, and responsible development.

Of course you also have the option of choosing a custom nature tour that focuses on one or two destinations or ecosystems of interest, or a trip that focuses on a specific activity, i.e. bird-watcher. The sky is the limit (except in Monteverde!) so tell us exactly how you want to experience nature here in Costa Rica.
