Regular Groups

Regular Costa Rica shore trips usually have a group size of 20-50 people. These tours are comparable in size to those given by cruise lines. While these day excursions are larger in size, we maintain an exceptionally high standard of excellence.

Private

Private shore excursions in Costa Rica and with Giotours let you travel with your crew alone and, in many cases, fully customize your shore excursion. For groups of four or more, we can usually arrange a wonderful bespoke shore trip.

Our Passengers' Testimonials:

Our tour guide Pablo was so funny and knowledgeable! We would this tour again. It’s nice to see different places in Costa Rica , you get to experience seeing monkeys, crocodiles, and birds and we got to eat lunch too. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour and guide Juan Pablo was an excellent tour guide. At the coffee plantation we learned all about CR coffee and found out we're brewing it all wrong! Lunch buffet was fabulous. Highly recommended. You must be able to walk uphill at elevation.

Great nature connection and enjoyable day This was a delightful day. They were very easy to find at the pier. We found Juan the guide to be friendly and informative, and fun! Charlie was friendly and helpful and a great driver. We loved the Monteverde Cloud Forest tour, found it to be very worthwhile. Beautiful, a great nature connection, and a great way to spend the time.For the coffee tour we experienced sugar coming out of sugarcane, and cocoa beans made into chocolate. And saw coffee beans and roasting and had coffee and hot chocolate samples. Everybody in my group agreed this was a great day. We recommend it and Gio Tours.

A Must Day Tour Apr 2024 • Family Juan, our tour guide was amazing, knowledgeable and funny. He kept his narratives very informative. Randall, our driver expertly maneuvered the van on those narrow and winding road. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour when visiting Costa Rica.

First our tour guides Juan and Alejandro were two of the best tour guides I’ve had on the many excursions. I’ve been on in my many travels in my lifetime! One has such a positive and sparkling personality, and knowledge about his country, the environment and the people of Costa Rica and the specific region of Puerto Limon, I not only enjoyed the canal trip, the visit to the banana plantation, seeing the wildlife, but also learning about the Costa Rican‘s way of life! Juan and Alejandro made this trip. An amazing experience, making me want to come back to Costa Rica to visit more of the country and to live Pura Vida!
