Positive Impact
We believe tourism should be educational, entertaining, and above all sustainable. We focus on a low-to-no environmental impact and strive to support the local communities that host us. All guides follow strict “green ethics.” Waste materials are packed out of the forest, and the collection of any kind of natural material is forbidden—even as a small souvenir.

Top Reasons To Visit Costa Rica With Costa Rica Sun Tours
Best Costa Rica Tours & Excursions
The geography and natural beauty of Costa Rica, combined with the vision of forward thinkers in the 70’s to preserve our diverse ecosystems, create a nature lover’s paradise. There’s truly something for every style of traveler. The Pura Vida Factor—the idiosyncrasy of the Ticos—enhances the experience. While Costa Rica beckons without marketing, your choice of inbound Costa Rica travel agency plays a crucial role in the ultimate guest experience.
1. Wildlife Encounters: Wildlife abounds in Costa Rica. Visit the right locations with our Costa Rica excursions, and you can easily encounter monkeys, iguanas, colorful birds, and butterflies. With the help of our expert guides and some luck, you can see a greater variety of wildlife, including scarlet macaws, resplendent quetzals, toucans, parrots, poison dart frogs, sloths, and more. Explore our wildlife observation and bird watching photography tours.
2. Active Costa Rica Adventures: With the right ingredients—a creative, enthusiastic, and detailed Costa Rica travel planner team, combined with a destination that has it all—you have a recipe for a great Costa Rica adventure! Costa Rica Sun Tours, a top Costa Rica tour operator, offers itineraries in four categories: Classic Programs, Authentic Adventures, Premier Escapes, and Family-Friendly.
3. Easy Access & Diverse Landscapes: Costa Rica’s territory extends 200 miles from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea. Due to its small size, a traveler starting from the Central Valley can reach most diverse habitats or either coast in just a two-to-four-hour drive. Numerous flights into San Jose (SJO) and Liberia (LIR) exist. Costa Rica possesses one of the richest biological heritages on earth, concentrated within its small territory. This is due to its tropical location, position as a land bridge between North and South America, and varied geography.
4. Diversity of land: Costa Rica possesses one of the richest biological heritages on earth, concentrated within its small territory.
