We were lucky enough to meet these wonderful people during our road trip through Costa Rica. They made us feel very welcome and were so friendly and family-oriented. You can really feel how proud they are of their country and how much they enjoy sharing its history and beauty with others. It was a pleasure meeting them and definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

A great service provided by very knowledgeable locals. The Tortuga Island and snorkel tour we booked with them through XPOTours Costa Rica was very easy to book, and customer service confirmed the exact pickup point. The crew was very friendly and showed us hidden beaches away from crowded destinations. Highly recommended.

My family spent a great full day on the water with William and Eroz. We fished, snorkeled, swam at three one-of-a-kind beaches, enjoyed an amazing home-cooked meal, relaxed, and saw bioluminescent algae. They took great care of us and shared stories about the islands, landmarks, and waters. It was an unforgettable private-boat experience and an amazing value.
