Spend a day with Papagayo's local beekeepers: working hives, bees up close, and a honey tasting to finish.

Guided by experienced local beekeepers, you'll explore traditional and modern apiary techniques in a safe and engaging environment.

The experience includes a tasting of fresh, locally produced honey and other bee-derived treats, all bursting with authentic Costa Rican flavor.

Ideal for families, nature lovers, and curious travelers, this educational and interactive activity offers a unique perspective on the importance of bees, sustainability, and the deep connection between local communities and the natural world of Guanacaste.

  • Daniel Alvarado, Driver Guide at Puma Expeditions

    Daniel Alvarado

    Driver Guide · ES, EN

    Around twelve years in Costa Rican tourism. On the drive between Guanacaste and Arenal he points out how fast the landscape and climate change, and shares the history of both regions along the way. His picks: the Palo Verde boat safari and Rincón de la Vieja's Pailas trail.

  • Kevin Arias, Naturalist Guide at Puma Expeditions

    Kevin Arias

    Naturalist Guide · ES, EN

    Twenty years guiding Costa Rica as a general and naturalist guide, with a special passion for botany: he points out plant adaptations, ecological relationships and the quiet work that trees, flowers and lianas do in the ecosystem. His favorite day is Palo Verde, where wildlife, tropical wetlands, cultural traditions and history meet — and the birdlife is spectacular.

  • Ronny Bonilla, Driver Guide at Puma Expeditions

    Ronny Bonilla

    Driver Guide · ES, EN

    Twenty-two years in tourism, from restaurants to tour sales to driving and guiding. Místico is his favorite trail: rich in wildlife, easy to walk, and full of the forest's secrets. On transfers north he loves the moment the dry Pacific crosses an invisible line into rainforest green.
