Not sure which tour to choose?
You don’t have to be.
Tell Mario what you would love to experience, who you are travelling with and how you want your day to feel. He will help create a private day around you.
Mario grew up in the wild beauty of Drake Bay, surrounded by jungle, rivers and the ocean. Nature was not something he visited — it was part of everyday life.
Today, he brings that lifelong connection to every experience he creates, combining local knowledge with a relaxed, personal approach.
Not looking for a fully private experience? We also offer selected open tours with scheduled departures several times a week.
These experiences are arranged in cooperation with trusted local tour operators and give you the opportunity to share the adventure with other travelers.
Open tours normally operate up to three times per week, depending on availability, weather and the season.
Most departures are relaxed sunset cruises, with other shared ocean experiences available on selected dates.
Food, refreshments and selected onboard services are usually included. Exact inclusions are confirmed before booking.
Contact Mario with your preferred date, group size and location, and we will help you find the best available tour.
