Pacific Sun Travel was born from a Costa Rican family's love for their homeland. We craft every experience with the care of hosts welcoming you into their home: personalized attention, small groups, and routes that reveal the authentic Pacific Costa Rica.
With over 10 years exploring the coast, we know every bay, every trail, and every community that makes this region special. From the Monteverde reserves to the beaches of Manuel Antonio and the hidden gems of the Central Pacific, we take you where it truly matters.
Our commitment is simple: responsible tourism that respects local communities and the environment, while creating memories that last a lifetime. With us there are no middlemen — you speak directly with the people who design and guide your adventure.

“We took our 9- and 13-year-old sons on a tour with Jimmy Murillo Picado. He did not disappoint. He had great spotting scopes and worked hard to find what we wanted: scarlet macaws, toucans, baby crocodiles, white-faced capuchin monkeys, a sloth, lots of birds, lizards, butterflies, bats, squirrels — and he explained the history of the plants. We were privileged to see trees over 850 years old. I highly recommend him: with Jimmy you’ll see places and things you won’t find with other guides. He was personal, fun, and spoke perfect English.”
