Hello, dear (amigos) friends, I am here to help you, to discover my country, so you can see it through local eyes. You can enjoy more, since you will be less worried, about the unknown that most people suffer while traveling, and more excited about the upcoming events along the day's tour! I have been experiencing Costa Rica as a professional local facilitator for more than ten years, so with me as your local guide there will be no worries about: car condition, driving, spotting wildlife, bird watching, finding local tours, knowing where to find grocery stores or drug stores, finding the nicest roads to travel, doing research on local history, interpreting the geography and weather conditions, facing dangerous situations, having a first aid kit and medical assistance if needed, getting on time to all the attractions and activities. Some of our activities may include: wildlife watching, interpretation of natural trails in national parks; visiting important local people who are involved in the preservation of our cultural heritage; visiting landmarks; photography sessions; donating different goods to local kids and schools; boat trips to islands in the Nicoya Gulf; visiting organic farms and rural projects, swimming in the Pacific ocean; alcohol-free picnics; soft walks of no more than two miles long through the tropical cloud forest; hiring adventure tours as rock climbing, canopy, horseback riding, aerial tram, river floating, zip lining, white water rafting, and much much more. . . Welcome to Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Henry was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of all the birds, plants and culture of Costa Rica really made this tour stand out. We had a wonderful time floating the beautiful Rio Celeste River. Henry brings a spotting scope so you can get uo close pictures of all the wildlife you see. We brought our kids who are 7 and 9 and they had a wonderful time. I definitely would recommend Henry if your looking for more than just a standard tour.

Our family spent 2 days touring around Costa Rica with Henry & his driver. Henry’s very knowledgeable on all things Costa Rica, he spotted animals that we would have never seen on our own! We had lunch at some great little local spots & visited areas that we know we wouldn’t have found without him. If you’re looking for a great tour guide we highly recommend him!
Chuck D.United States
Excellent 2 day tour. Professional and pleasant conversation We did what we had set out to do at a great pace and saw the fauna like sloths tukans and others, suspension bridges over the rainforest canopy, volcano hot springs and much more Food and coffee stops were great also Highly recommend
Tom L.United States
Henry is a superstar nature guide! You should definitely find some time to explore with him. In a hectic one day tour driving up from Tamarindo to the mountains, Henry was somehow able to make us feel like we had all the time in the world. The birds, animals, frogs, bats, snakes, and other wildlife we were able to see made this my family's favorite day by far. Some of our best sightings were actual on the drive up as spotted by Henry and his brother and driver Dennis. My only regret is not booking more!
Lynne G.United States
Henry, our guide, and his brother, our driver, were absolutely fabulous. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Adapted our tour to meet our groups needs, of 2 active and 2 who could only walk shorter distances. Amazing how much wild life and botany we saw. An absolutely perfect day. Thank you.
