Why Tropical Travel

Costa Rica is easy to get wrong from far away

Routes that actually work

Ferry times, dirt roads, rainy afternoons. We plan every leg so you never lose a day in the car.

One price, everything booked

Stays, 4x4, shuttles and tours in one proposal. A 30% deposit holds it all; the rest is due 30 days before you fly.

A local on WhatsApp

Born and raised in Costa Rica, with family in Santa Teresa and Flamingo. Help is one message away, the whole trip.
