Connect with People and Place

Effortlessly Plan Your Costa Rican Expedition in 3 Simple Steps:
Led by Alberto. Brought to life by our Expedition Design Team.
Link Expeditions is an Expedition Design Team led by Alberto Salas, a Costa Rican naturalist and educator. Born and raised in rural Costa Rica, Alberto’s journey—from local guide to international trip leader—shaped his belief that responsible travel can inspire personal growth and create meaningful connections with nature and culture.
That belief deepened during the pandemic, when he led immersive expeditions for high school students across Costa Rica—blending exploration with hands-on learning in places like Corcovado. The experience reaffirmed a core value: travel should expand our minds, not just check off attractions.
Today, that same intention guides every journey we design. From private, custom itineraries to knowledgeable guides and thoughtful planning, our team is here to help you explore, learn, and connect—on your terms, and with purpose.
“Travel should help us grow—not just sightsee. That’s why we design journeys that invite you to explore, learn, and connect—with nature, culture, and yourself.” - Alberto Salas

We had a great time! Alberto was so responsive and helped us plan the perfect excursion. The day of went perfect and we had a blast! He was very friendly and informative during the trip about all things Costa Rica and we learned so much . Highly recommend booking a trip with him!
Alberto and his tour was fantastic. We received private and individualized treatment all day. All of the activities were well thought out and handled very professionally. We highly recommend Alberto and Link expeditions.
THE most perfect experience our family could have had! This is the second year we have worked with Alberto. Not only does he desire to make sure we all have fun, he also provides education along the way. If you’re looking to make memories that last a lifetime, have an amazing guide, and have no worries, Alberto is the best!!!! THANK YOU Alberto!!
We had a great time on a snorkeling excursion! They arranged transportation to and from the beach. Selected great areas with beautiful water and beaches! And even let our youngest catch a fish on the ride back in. Highly recommend!
Alberto was an absolutely fantastic guide to the natural beauty of the Rain Forest. His deep knowledge of & passion for Costa Rica made our day with him the highlight of our holiday. Alberto gave us a deep dive into Costa Rican history, society, economics & culture. He answered all our myriad questions with thoughtfulness & patience. Alberto introduced us to the beauty & diversity of the Rain Forest & he showed a deep understanding of the plants & animals that make the Rain Forest such a fascinating place to experience. If you want the best ask for Alberto
It was our first time to Costa Rica and Alberto and his team at Link Expeditions were fantastic in helping us on our excursions throughout the country. We gave them a list of places we were going to visit and ideas of things we wanted to do in those areas. They not only came back with prices for those excursions, but they made recommendations for others that many tourists don’t think about and that were better and less expensive. A case in point is that we wanted to do a Nature walk through the cloud forest In Monteverde. They recommended that we do a different nature reserve at a slightly lower elevation because we would be in and walking through the cloud forest during our zip line and hanging bridge excursions the next day. The result was that we were able to see two slightly different ecosystems with varied plant and animal life instead of just one.
They also checked in on us frequently and asked how our excursions were going and asked if we had any additional questions about Costa Rica. They answered and helped guide us through our trip with honest and friendly advice without any pressure to book additional excursions at any point.
I have already recommended Link Expeditions to family and friends that have told me they are planning a trip to Costa Rica and I promised them they would not be disappointed with this family run company’s pricing or the service they receive.
Great job Alberto and team in making us feel welcome to your country.
Pura Vida !!!!!

We had an amazing experience! We did the hike to the waterfall, the sloth tour, and the cocoa and coffee experience. Our guide, Adrian, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and went the extra mile to give us an amazing experience at each stop. We highly recommend this company and these tours!
Alberto and his team are the absolute best - 11/10 recommend! Alberto organized multiple partial and full day private excursions for both our wedding group and honeymoon in Tamarindo and La Fortuna. Every single excursion was excellent - everyone had a blast! Alberto is the most genuinely friendly person, super organized, and has so much passion for his business. If you're looking for awesome, personalized excursions outside of the normal commercialized tours, Link Expeditions is the way!
Alberto was amazing! I was really stressed about my upcoming wedding in Costa Rica and needed a hand planning activities for the rest of my trip! Alberto was recommended by our wedding planner and was very helpful , friendly and easily contactable (we even kept in touch throughout our time in the country). He was very knowledgeable about the tours/trips and provided us with some amazing adventures/guides that were all tailored to our needs! We even experienced a cooking class with a local family (which was very unique and I could not find anywhere else!)
I would highly recommend using Alberto for your trip/holiday! You won’t regret it!

Every excursion that Alberto, owner of Link Expeditions, planned for our group was perfection from pick-up at our hotel to drop off. We were not disappointed. He was a great guide as well. His responses during the planning stages our questions were always answered quickly. We learned so much about Costa Rica and even learned a little Spanish. By the end of our trip and many excursions we felt like Alberto was a part of our family. He truly does care about his clients and was so accommodating with last minute changes. We highly recommend Link Expeditions.
Initially I contacted Alberto for transportation from the airport to our hotel and back. We ended up with one free day and Alberto arranged the perfect Costa Rican experience for us: rain forest/hanging bridges, authentic CR meal, seeing howler monkeys/ sloths/birds/butterflies/colorful frogs and the like, coffee and cacao plantation tours.
Alberto is delightful and so knowledgeable about Costa Rica, the culture, the rain forest, animals, flora/fauna, biodiversity, etc. He went out of his way to ensure our expectations were more than met, all the while keeping in mind our activity level/ability.
I recommend him highly - you will be in good hands!

Link Expeditions provided excellent shuttle service for us during our recent visit to Costa Rica. Our driver, Jacob, was great! He arrived on time taking us to our destination and returning us to the airport for departure. The van was very clean, Jacob was friendly and his driving excellent. Thank you, Alberto, for your timely response in helping us book your service. We highly recommend your company and would definitely use you again!
Thanks to Alberto and Link Expeditions, we thoroughly enjoyed our first-ever trip to Costa Rica in June/July 2024. Alberto is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and has a very pleasant demeanor. We would definitely retain Link Expeditions again; we highly recommend the company to prospective Costa Rica visitors.
Alberto was instrumental to our trip to Costa Rica. When I was booking our trip I was overwhelmed by all the tours and adventures operators. I also didnt know which areas to visit since it was our first time there. I had a call with Alberto and told him what we had in mind for activities and experiences and it was like he read my mind. He came back with a detailed plan for each day that was perfect for us.
He checked with me every evenning for next day activities and remainders and to make sure everything was going well.
Thank you Alberto for everything. We had an amazing time!

This excursion was awesome. The hike was more than I imagined but well worth it once we made it to La Leona Waterfalls. It was beautiful. I am so happy I was able to get out and see these beautiful gems in CR. Alberto was the best tour guide and super accommodating. We were together for most of the day and were so grateful we had him showing us the lovely sites. He’s a doll and couldn't have been better. Thank you Alberto. I hope we keep in touch for ever!
Im so excited to have found Alberto and Link Expeditions. He has been great helping me get all of my activities lined up for our trip in March. I highly recommend!!!
I highly recommend Link Expeditions. The founder, Alberto, is an incredible person who is not only kind, but very knowledgeable about Cost Rica. Costa Rica is known for its tourism, but Alberto is able to provide an experience that is difficult to find as a tourist. He truly helps you see Costa Rica, and even some of the most beautiful and off the beaten path parts.
Link Expeditions is an incredible travel service!
Alberto helped me with all my bookings for Monteverde and made great recommendations! During the entire process, Alberto was very responsive to all my questions and helped me get a good understanding of what to expect of each activity in Monteverde. He was able to provide me with an array of options to choose from for my activities (night tours..hanging bridges..guided or unguided), he provided me all the pricing options, was able to arrange transportation, and even book accommodations...everything!
On top of the professional and responsive service, all the recommendations provided were so fun! We had time for a coffee tour in the morning with Santuario Ecologico, and a guided tour with Selvatura through the forest. Both were great!
I highly recommend using Link Expedition for any of your Costa Rica travel needs. They made everything so so easy and clear and really put a lot of care into our travel needs.

Link Expeditions helped me plan my dream vacation to Costa Rica! They were able to customize my whole trip to fit my personality, which I have NEVER experienced with another travel company. I also really appreciated the focus on wellness and nature because I wanted to plan a trip with a lot of surfing and hiking - and Alberto from Link Expeditions made it happen! He organized transport to the best spots, and always had the best recommendations for less touristy destinations. I was traveling solo, and he made it so easy! I stayed in Guanacaste the whole time, so I was really able to experience the rainforest and the beaches. I highly recommend reaching out to Link Expeditions - you won't regret it!
My Travel advisor, from Link Expeditions, made my days special in Costa Rica
