Eco Tours in Cabuya & the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica

At Ecotours Pura Vida, our focus is simple—bringing you closer to the natural beauty of Costa Rica through small-group, experience-driven tours in Cabuya and the Nicoya Peninsula.

Based in Cabuya, at the entrance of Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve, we operate in one of the most biodiverse and still untouched areas of the Pacific coast. This is where our tours begin—directly from the ocean, the jungle, and the local community that knows this region best.

Our experiences are designed around the highlights of the area, combining wildlife encounters, ocean exploration, and authentic coastal landscapes.

You can join us for:

• Tortuga Island snorkeling tours, where you’ll explore coral reefs and relax on white-sand beaches surrounded by clear Pacific waters

• Whale watching tours in the Gulf of Nicoya, with the chance to see humpback whales, dolphins, and other marine life during migration season

• Snorkeling and fishing adventures, guided by local captains in productive Pacific waters rich with marine biodiversity

• Private fishing charters, combining coastal scenery, wildlife encounters, and hands-on experience in traditional fishing grounds

• Sunset and bioluminescence tours, where the coastline, seabirds, and glowing ocean create one of the most unique nighttime experiences in Costa Rica

Each tour is intentionally designed for small groups and can be customized based on conditions, seasonality, and your travel plans. We focus on flexibility, local knowledge, and responsible tourism—ensuring that every experience feels personal, well-organized, and connected to the environment.

Cabuya offers a different side of Costa Rica—less developed, more authentic, and deeply tied to nature. From here, you’re not just taking a tour—you’re stepping into a region where the ocean, wildlife, and rainforest still define daily life.

If you’re planning to visit the Nicoya Peninsula, we recommend reaching out in advance to secure your preferred dates. Many of our tours operate with limited capacity, and early coordination ensures a smoother and more enjoyable experience from the start.
