Most Costa Rica tours run year-round, though prices and availability swing with the season. Shoulder months (April through June, September, October) usually have the right mix of weather and smaller crowds. Summer drives the highest prices and tightest slots on coastal areas and headline attractions, so book two to four weeks ahead minimum. Winter is quieter and often cheaper outside the major holiday weeks.

Yes for headline attractions and skip-the-line tickets, especially in Guanacaste and Northwest and Central Pacific. Slots sell out days to weeks ahead in peak season. Walking tours, food experiences, and day trips often have day-of availability but at higher prices. Comparing the same tour across booking sites before booking is the easiest way to lock in a slot at the best price.

It depends on what you're after. Private and small-group Costa Rica tours cost more per person but give you a personal guide, flexible pacing, and often early or after-hours access at major attractions. Large-group tours and coach day trips are cheaper and work well for outdoor sightseeing. Use the category filters on this page to compare private and small-group options against standard tours.
