Who we are

A small team, led by Carlos Porras

Blue Sky is 100% Costa Rican and locally owned. For more than ten years we have been designing private tours and airport transfers that show travelers the real Costa Rica: its wildlife, its volcanoes, its waterfalls and its Pacific beaches.

The team is led by Carlos Porras and a group of local, bilingual guides who were born and raised here in Guanacaste. They know which trail the monkeys use in the morning and which beach is worth the drive.

We treat every traveler like a friend we are showing around our home, because that is exactly what Costa Rica is to us.

Why private

Same places. A very different day.

Every Blue Sky tour is just your group. This is what changes.

A typical group tour

  • A bus that stops at several hotels before it leaves
  • A fixed schedule, whether you are ready or not
  • One guide shared with dozens of people
  • The same stops for everyone

A day with Blue Sky

  • Pickup at your hotel or villa, only your group in the vehicle
  • We stay longer where you are enjoying it and skip what you do not want
  • Your own bilingual guide for the whole day
  • A day planned with you before you arrive
