Sustainability

Sustainability isn’t a trend for us. It’s the foundation of everything we do.

At Rico Tico Tours, we believe travel should support the land, the people, and the wildlife that make Costa Rica one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

Every tour is designed with the goal of protecting nature while empowering our local community.

  • We limit our group sizes to reduce impact on the environment and wildlife. Our guides follow respectful wildlife-viewing practices, and we partner with local businesses that share our eco-values. From reusable materials to tuk tuk for transportation rather than shuttles when possible, we’re constantly finding new ways to travel lighter.

  • We believe sustainability starts with people. By choosing our tours, you’re directly supporting Costa Rican families, local guides, and conservation projects. A portion of every booking goes back into community initiatives that preserve our coast and provide opportunities for the next generation.

  • We collaborate with coastal and marine organizations to protect the habitats that make this region thrive. Whether it’s supporting turtle protection, mangrove restoration, or ocean clean-ups, we’re proud to take part in projects that make a lasting difference.

  • We’re committed to transparency and progress. Sustainability isn’t a checkbox — it’s a journey. As we grow, we continue to adapt, learn, and evolve with our environment and community in mind.

Every guest who joins us becomes part of something bigger: a conscious way of exploring Costa Rica that protects the places we love for generations to come.
