How Much Does a Private Photography Tour in Costa Rica Cost?
Private photography programs with Physis start from US$4,000. That starting point corresponds to a short private program. Because every trip is custom-made, the final price depends on a few clear factors, and you receive a detailed proposal before you commit.
What changes the price
- Number of travelers and how many are photographers
- Season and dates (December to April is high season)
- Length of the trip and number of regions
- Lodge category
- Photo sessions: private hides, multi-flash hummingbird setups, night macro walks, bat sessions, specialized guides
- Travel Style: The Founder's Edition, The Wildlife Expedition, The Relaxed Explorer or The Independent Adventure
What a Physis program usually includes
Itinerary design, lodging, ground transportation (private driver or self-drive, depending on your Travel Style), the photo sessions and local specialists in your proposal, and coordination of every reservation. Each proposal lists exactly what is included and what is not.
What is usually not included
International flights, travel insurance, personal expenses, and anything your proposal does not list.
Why a private program costs more than a group tour
You do not share hides, guides or time with unrelated travelers, and the route is designed for your subjects instead of a fixed itinerary. For many photographers, the extra time at the right place and hour is what makes the trip worth it. Compare private and group photography tours
