Our Story

Passion for Adventure

We are more than a tour agency. We are your local friends showing you the hidden gems of Jacó.

Our Story

Born in Jacó, Built by Locals

Vamos Jacó Tours was founded in 2018 with a simple belief: the best way to experience Costa Rica is through the eyes of someone who calls it home. What started as a small operation running ATV tours through the hills behind Jacó has grown into a multi-sport adventure tour company Jacó travelers trust for everything from jet ski ocean rides to zipline canopy crossings.

As a family-owned business rooted in the community, every decision we make starts with the same question: would we take our own family on this tour? The answer guides how we train our staff, choose our equipment, and treat every guest who books with us. We are not a corporate call center booking tours from a desk in the capital. We live here, work here, and reinvest in the local economy — from the sodas where we stop for lunch to the conservation initiatives that keep our trails and waters pristine.

Our team is made up entirely of local guides Costa Rica trained, certified, and deeply familiar with every trail, tide, and wildlife pattern along the central Pacific coast. When you ride with us, you ride with people who grew up surfing these waves, hiking these ridges, and navigating these rivers. That local knowledge transforms a good tour into an unforgettable one.

Why Local Matters

Big enough to deliver, small enough to care

Local Knowledge

Our guides know the best trails, the quietest beaches, and the safest routes because they explore them year-round. No scripted tours — every experience is shaped by real, on-the-ground expertise.

Flexible Scheduling

Need a later pickup? Want to combine two activities? We adjust on the fly. Local ownership means we can say yes to requests that big operators cannot accommodate.

Community Impact

We hire locally, source from local businesses, and contribute to community projects. Choosing a local operator means your tourism dollars stay in Jacó and support the families who make this town special.
