Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family or a larger private group, the experience is created to feel comfortable, personal and unhurried.

Mario, local private guide in Guanacaste
YOUR LOCAL GUIDE

Experience Costa Rica
through local eyes.

Mario grew up surrounded by jungle, rivers and the ocean in Drake Bay. His knowledge of Costa Rica comes from a lifetime spent close to nature—not only from maps and guidebooks.

After years working as a scuba instructor, divemaster, deckhand and boat guide, he now creates private ocean and land experiences across Guanacaste.

His approach is relaxed, personal and especially welcoming for families and children.
