Costa Rica is an incredible place to visit and one of the most welcoming countries for LGBTQ travellers in Central America. See our super detailed guide to gay Costa Rica for inspiration or our ten day Costa Rica Itinerary.
The best way to explore as much of Costa Rica is to go on a gay tour of Costa Rica with a gay travel guide/company.
As a result of everything we have discussed in our previous posts on Costa Rica, there are now a few Costa Rica gay travel companies to book trips with that will help you see as many different places as possible.
Why book a Gay Tour of Costa Rica?

There are a number of reasons we suggest booking a gay tour of Costa Rica. Both from a practical side and from an LGBTQ travel side:
- We all know as LGBTQ travellers that we get questioned or asked if we are brothers, do we want a twin bed etc. With a gay tour company you can rest assured that all those niggles that can impact your vaction are gone.
- Costa Rica is big and each place is unique, you want to see a little of every area if possible and we would have had a bit of trouble getting from place to place. There are plenty of organised buses and transfers available, but they are very expensive. The distances between places are quite large and there aren’t any trains. On a tour everything is taken care of door to door.
- If you only have a couple of weeks (or less) we highly recommend letting someone else do all the organising for you! This is ultimately going to mean you get the most from your trip.
- You will see more, be less stressed and probably save money because these type of companies have better rates with hotels, activities and transport.
- And as ever, we are always a massive advocate of supporting LGBTQ run businesses – see our suggestion and trip planner below:
