Costa Rica Eco Tours 2024/2025

Costa Rica is a shining example of a country embracing ecotourism as a means to protect its natural wonders. The country boasts nearly five percent of the world's known species, and it is making great strides in protecting them and their habitat. On a Costa Rican eco tour, you can visit national parks such as Corcovado and Tortuguero which are committed to protecting the lush rainforests and elusive wildlife such as sloths, jaguars and sea turtles. There are also a variety of eco-friendly activities to try. Enjoy a zip-line ride through the forest canopy, go on a white-water rafting expedition, snorkel among marine creatures, or simply relax at a natural hot spring in Arenal Volcano. Throughout your Costa Rica eco tour, stay in eco lodges and forest retreats. Travel while keeping your carbon footprint is low. The Costa Rican way of life is ‘Pura Vida,’ which means pure life lived in harmony with nature. The spirit of ‘Pura Vida’ resonates throughout our Costa Rica eco tours, teaching you to appreciate and preserve the delicate balance between nature and humankind.

“Had an amazing time on this tour. Manu, our tour guide, was a legend he made was part of making our tour group a family. The activities, transport, accommodation and everything else were all flawless. The whole thing greatly exceeded my expectations.”
Outstanding and Highly Recommended
5 - Excellent
“Exceeded our expectations, well-structured and narrated. Alberto was an enthusiastic guide and pointed out a lot of wildlife that our untrained eyes would have missed. The top-notch company never made us feel rushed and was very patient with questions. Would not hesitate to book with them again! We really enjoyed this week in Costa Rica with Greenway Tours.”

Costa Rica Eco Tours

With so many awesome Costa Rica eco tours to try out, we thought we’d share the best ones.

  • Eco tour in Manuel Antonio National Park: Home to some of the most diverse wildlife in Costa Rica, Manuel Antonio National Park is a wonderland for nature lovers. Wander through sloth-filled forests, check out the best beaches in the country, and hike to amazing vantage points looking out across the Pacific Ocean. Take a guided tour with a biologist to learn more about conservation efforts.
  • Explore Monteverde on an eco tour: Monteverde Cloud Forest is one of the biggest attractions in Costa Rica and a conservationist haven. Fly through the forest canopy on an adrenaline-fuelled zipline, hike the many nature trails, or head to the legendary red suspension bridges and look out for the monkeys, birds, and other animals that call the canopy home. With an eco tour, you leave minimal impact behind, including offsetting your carbon, so you can relax and enjoy your trip in good conscience. 
  • Eco tour in San Jose: Take in the culture, history, and vibrancy of Costa Rica’s capital city on this eco tour to San Jose. Visit the Pre-columbian Gold Museum, the architecturally-astounding National Theater, before grabbing locally-sourced lunch at the Central Market. Talk to the locals about the nearby farms and businesses that keep this area thriving. This walking tour vibe is a great way to soak up the atmosphere of San Jose and keep your carbon footprint low!

Tips for Costa Rica eco trips

  • When you’re on a Costa Rica eco trip, bring a reusable bottle. It’s hot and humid, so even if it’s overcast, you’ll need to stay hydrated. Tap water is safe here.
  • Public buses in Costa Rica are an easy, affordable, and largely eco-friendly way to travel. They’re super popular and run between all the main cities and towns.
  • If you can, donate to conservation efforts in the area. There’s normally a donation box in addition to the entry fee at national parks.
