Costa Rica Photography Tours
Experience the wild heart of Costa Rica through a lens designed just for you.
Discover Costa Rica's untamed core through a lens created just for you.
At Physis Photo Tours, we have moved beyond the standard tourist trail to specialize exclusively in private, fully personalized photography adventures. Silence, patience, and personal connection yield the best images, not crowds.
Whether your passion lies in capturing the vibrant plumage of a resplendent quetzal, the raw power of a jaguar, or the misty landscapes of the cloud forest, we craft a Costa Rica photography tour that fits your pace, your vision, and your skill level.
2026 & 2027 Tour Structures
To uphold our commitment to uncompromised quality, Physis Photo Tours has transitioned to a 100% private model.
We will not be offering open group tours in 2026 or 2027.
Instead, we dedicate our resources entirely to individuals, couples, and private parties. This ensures you receive the undivided attention of our guides and the flexibility to chase the light and wildlife without the constraints of a large group schedule.
