About tour.cr

Practical Costa Rica field notes—built around the day, not just the brochure

tour.cr is an independent editorial planning guide dedicated to Costa Rica tours, wildlife reserves, marine outings, and regional itineraries. We built tour.cr because generic travel listings rarely explain the practical details that actually determine whether an excursion succeeds on the ground: which side of a volcano clears first in the morning, why Pacific tide charts matter for surf lessons and mangrove boat safaris, when the Southern Caribbean enjoys its calmest coral-reef visibility, and how hanging-bridge walks differ from high-speed zipline courses.

How to use our destination & experience guides

Our guides organize Costa Rica around eight core regions—Arenal & La Fortuna, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, Playas del Coco, Santa Teresa, Puerto Viejo, and Tortuguero—and eight core experience types. Each page highlights what to look for when comparing itineraries, what to pack in your daybag, and which questions to confirm before booking.

Original Costa Rica photography & independent partner links

Landscape, volcano, coastline, and rainforest photography featured on tour.cr is original Costa Rica work by Joshua ten Brink (WildPhotography.com). We are an independent editorial publication, not a tour operator or reservation agency: when you click through to compare live availability, guest reviews, and pricing on platforms such as GetYourGuide, Viator, VRBO, Tripadvisor, or Amazon, your booking and payment take place directly on that partner’s website.
