Hi, I’m Isaac Taylor — a certified bilingual naturalist guide with deep Costa Rican roots and over a decade of experience leading immersive, custom tours. Originally from San José, I left a corporate career 10 years ago to follow my passion for nature, wildlife, and sharing Costa Rica’s beauty with travelers. I specialize in wildlife-focused and cultural tours across Costa Rica, with expertise in destinations such as Tortuguero (where I’m a certified turtle nesting guide), Arenal, Manuel Antonio, and Cahuita. Guests enjoy educational, flexible experiences that blend history, culture, nature, and adventure — all tailored to their interests. In addition, I lead San José city tours that bring the capital’s rich history, vibrant culture, and local life to light. As a licensed tourism driver (Type C2), I provide safe, comfortable transportation in a fully insured, A/C microbus with all permits up to date. My goal is to create meaningful connections and help you discover the real Costa Rica — from hidden forest trails and wildlife encounters to authentic city experiences and local flavors. Let’s explore Costa Rica together — with knowledge, heart, and a personal touch!

It turned out that the Waterfall Gardens Nature Park was a highlight of our entire time in Costa Rica (the other being our niece's wedding in Manuel Antonio). Having Isaac as our guide was the icing on...

    Wonderful day trip to see Poás Volcano park and the beautiful Waterfall Gardens with all the fauna and flora there. We also made some little stops along the way that added to our experience. Isaac was a superb host and I don't believe there is any question about Costa Rican plants or animals that he couldn't answer. Over all, this was a fantastic tour!

    The half day city tour was a wonderful way to get an overview of of San José, Costa Rica! Isaac is a wealth of knowledge and a great ambassador for his country. We covered a lot and really enjoyed the lunch spot as well. If you only have a short time to see the city, this tour with Isaac is your best choice!
