About
MoonRiver Travel
Born in Guanacaste. Built on trust and a genuine love for this land.
More than a tour.
A genuine experience.
MoonRiver Travel was born from a simple belief: the best way to experience Costa Rica is alongside someone who truly loves it. Founded in Guanacaste, our company grew from a passion for sharing the country’s extraordinary biodiversity, culture, and landscapes with visitors from around the world.
We offer private airport transfers across Guanacaste and fully tailored adventure, nature, and night tours — each one designed to feel personal, never packaged. Whether you arrive at Liberia International Airport or need a guide through the rainforest, we take care of every detail so you can focus on the experience.
Rated 5 stars on TripAdvisor by travelers from across the globe, we are proud to have earned a reputation built not on advertising, but on genuine care for every guest.

“Costa Rica”
Everything was perfectly organized from the very beginning. The team responded to all our questions quickly and clearly. When we arrived, the driver was already waiting for us. Cold drinks were provided during the trip — a very nice touch. The service was fast, professional, well-organized, and truly high-level. The price was very reasonable for such quality. We would absolutely recommend Moon River to anyone traveling in Costa Rica.
“Costa Rica Excursions at its very best”
We had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day with Hainer on a private tour through the rainforest, hot springs, and waterfalls. Hainer's kindness and professionalism stood out — punctual, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable about the region's history, ecology, and culture. He didn't just show us Costa Rica — he helped us feel it. Hainer is truly a gem.
“Rainforest, Sloths and Cocoa Tour”
We had a great tour with Heiner today. We did the Rainforest and Cocoa tour where we were lucky enough to see Spider Monkeys, Sloths up close, Snakes and Toucans. The Cocoa and Coffee tour was really interesting and the team were brilliant. We really enjoyed ourselves, thank you Heiner!
“Highly recommend!”
Excellent service! On time and great responses via WhatsApp. Learned a lot about Costa Rica on our trip to the airport. Highly recommend.
