Itineraries & Planning

Green Tours CR offers nature and adventure tours, private transfers, Tortuguero boat tickets and parking, private boats, rental car support, custom itinerary planning, and local off-the-path experiences in Costa Rica.

We mainly work in Guanacaste, Tortuguero, La Fortuna / Arenal, and Manuel Antonio. We also support Monteverde, Caribbean connections, San José, Liberia, and custom routes around Costa Rica through trusted local partners.

Some services are operated directly by Green Tours CR, while others are provided with selected local guides, drivers, or partner operators. The goal is to keep the experience human, reliable, and well coordinated with people who know each area.

Product pages show the base price and, when applicable, the system displays VAT or tax details. Please review the cart summary before paying to confirm the final total.

You can book directly on our website, or message us on WhatsApp if you need help choosing before you reserve. For general support, contact +506 7209 8971 or info@greentourscr.com.

Reservations are made with advance payment through the website or through the method coordinated with Green Tours CR. We do not recommend leaving a reservation unpaid because guides, transportation, spaces, and logistics must be arranged in advance.

No. We work with real nature, so we cannot guarantee specific animals. What we do is work with local guides who know the trails, habitats, timing, and respectful ways to observe wildlife.

Rain is a normal part of Costa Rica. Many tours operate with light rain, but activities like rafting, catamaran, boats, kayaking, or guided walks may be adjusted for safety depending on weather, rivers, tides, or local operation.

In Guanacaste we offer waterfalls, volcanoes, hot springs, rafting, catamaran cruises, snorkeling, ATV, beach hopping, wildlife safaris, cultural tours, and full-day excursions.

Most Guanacaste tours include transportation within the standard pickup area, from Peninsula Papagayo south to Playa Potrero north. ATV, catamaran, and private boat tours have different pickup or meeting-point details explained on each product page.

We commonly work with hotels, villas, Airbnbs, and resorts in the Guanacaste tourism corridor. The standard area includes places such as Papagayo, Hermosa, Coco, Ocotal, Matapalo, Flamingo, Potrero, and nearby zones, depending on the tour.

It depends on ages and activity level. Palo Verde, Beach Hopping, Bijagua, catamaran cruises, some waterfalls, and nature tours often work well for families. More active families may enjoy rafting, ATV, or full adventure days.

We do not recommend Palo Verde as a sloth tour. Palo Verde is better for crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, and birds along the river and dry forest. For sloths, we usually recommend other habitats with better chances.

In La Fortuna / Arenal we offer volcano hikes, hanging bridges, safari floats, waterfalls, coffee and chocolate tours, night walks, rafting, tubing, ziplining, ATV, sloth watching, and experiences around Arenal Volcano.

Yes. La Fortuna is one of the most complete areas for families because it combines nature, soft adventure, hot springs, waterfalls, wildlife, local farms, and activities with different levels of effort.

The Peñas Blancas safari float is often a good choice for calm nature, river scenery, forest, and wildlife without a difficult hike. Sloth walks and softer guided nature tours can also work depending on the group.

In Tortuguero we offer canoe and kayak canal tours, night walks, Jaguar Trail, Tortuguero Hill, wildlife experiences, and turtle nesting tours during the main season.

Tortuguero tours normally depart from the main dock in Tortuguero unless something different is clearly stated on the product page or confirmation.

Some tours inside Tortuguero National Park require a SINAC entrance ticket purchased online. The Night Walk does not use that same park ticket, and Tortuguero Hill has different conditions. Always review the product page before booking.

Green Tours CR offers the Tortuguero turtle nesting tour during the main season, from July 1 to October 31. Outside those dates, we do not recommend it as a regular experience because sightings are much harder.

Yes. We offer La Pavona ↔ Tortuguero boat tickets, secure parking at La Pavona, private boats, and Moín boat transportation for Caribbean connections.

La Pavona is the main access route to Tortuguero for most travelers. Moín is better for travelers connecting Tortuguero with the Caribbean coast, such as Limón, Cahuita, or Puerto Viejo.

No. Tortuguero does not have direct road access. Travelers usually reach La Pavona or Moín by land and continue by boat to Tortuguero.

Yes. In Manuel Antonio we offer Manuel Antonio National Park guided walks, tropical forest night walks, Savegre and Naranjo rafting, Isla Damas mangrove kayak and boat tours, catamaran, snorkeling, and wildlife experiences.

In Manuel Antonio, we work with Bayron Gonzáles as Green Tours CR’s local representative. For area-specific questions, you can contact him on WhatsApp at +506 7169 7081.

It depends on the tour. Some include transportation from selected Manuel Antonio / Quepos locations, while others are meeting-point tours. The Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Walk is offered as a meeting-point tour at the main park entrance.

Families often enjoy the Manuel Antonio National Park Guided Walk, Isla Damas Mangrove Boat Tour, and Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour. More active families may also enjoy Savegre River rafting.

Savegre is usually more scenic and moderate, ideal for families or first-time rafters. Naranjo is stronger and more adrenaline-focused, recommended for active travelers who are comfortable with more intense rapids.

Not always. Isla Damas kayak and boat tours depend on the tide, so the schedule is confirmed based on your date and the conditions of the day.

Yes. We can help with Monteverde activities such as cloud forest walks, hanging bridges, canopy, night walks, nature reserves, and partner experiences. In Monteverde, transportation is usually quoted separately if you do not have a way to reach the activity location.

Off The Path is our space for more local, quieter, or less mass-market experiences: hidden waterfalls, family projects, rural walks, small reserves, local operators, and places with a more authentic connection to Costa Rica.

Yes. We help plan realistic routes with tours, transfers, boats, rental car options, and travel timing. Costa Rica looks small on the map, but some routes take longer than expected, so local planning makes a big difference.

Green Tours CR focuses on tours, transfers, boats, rental car support, and travel planning. We can suggest areas or general hotel ideas when useful for the route, but guests normally book lodging directly.

Yes. We coordinate private transfers between airports, hotels, Airbnbs, villas, beaches, national parks, docks, San José, Liberia, La Fortuna, Guanacaste, Tortuguero, and other destinations depending on the itinerary.

We need pickup location, drop-off location, date, preferred time, number of passengers, luggage details, flight number if applicable, and any special needs such as child seats, stops, or oversized luggage.

It depends on the route. Private transfers are ideal for long travel days, airport arrivals, and destination-to-destination connections. A rental car may be better if you plan to spend several days exploring beaches, restaurants, supermarkets, and stops at your own pace.

Yes. Green Tours CR has a partner link to check rental car options and prices, and we can also guide you on what vehicle type makes sense based on your route, luggage, and travel style.

Yes. Send us your dates, hotel, group size, ages, activity level, and what matters most to you: wildlife, adventure, beaches, waterfalls, volcanoes, culture, photography, or calm nature. We will help you choose what truly fits your trip.
