About
Big Mike runs tours that feel more like being hosted by a friend than booking an excursion — travelers describe genuine, unhurried local insight and being treated like family, right down to a home-cooked meal at his family home. The Nicaragua expedition and private snorkel tours come up again and again, and the team speaks great English and never pushes you. It's a real connection to local life, not the tourist version.

Wonderful place to visit . Big Mike made my time in Costa Rica unforgettable! He went above and beyond — not only giving me a fun and informative tour but also helping me out by letting me use his internet when I needed it most. That kind of kindness and hospitality really shows the heart behind his business. His tour was relaxed but full of great local insight — from hidden gems and cultural history to everyday life in the area. You can tell he genuinely loves sharing his country and wants you to experience the real Costa Rica, not just the tourist version. If you’re visiting and want a guide who’s knowledgeable, friendly, and treats you like family, I highly recommend Big Mike Tours. It’s more than just a tour — it’s a connection to the local community and the Costa Rican spirit of “pura vida.”
We booked two tours with Big Mike Tours during our honeymoon in Costa Rica – the Nicaragua Expedition and a Private Snorkel Tour – and both were absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and made everything feel effortless. The Nicaragua Expedition was a once-in-a-lifetime experience – crossing the border was smooth, and our guide made the history and culture of the area come alive. We got to explore cities, visit volcanoes, and experience the local food, all in one incredible day. The Private Snorkel Tour was equally amazing. – exactly what we wanted on our honeymoon. Big Mike Tours made our trip truly special, and we’re so grateful for the memories. Highly recommend them to anyone visiting this part of Costa Rica!
Amazing service. Really nice people 😍
