Meet Your Guide

Randall Zuñiga, your local connection

Born and raised in Costa Rica, Randall has spent over three decades shaping memorable experiences for travelers from around the world. He has managed boutique hotels, hosted what became one of the biggest nightlife experiences in Tamarindo, and built a reputation throughout the Guanacaste tourism industry as the person you call when things need to go right.

Now he has channeled that experience into Green Ride, a private tour and transport service for travelers who want to feel the country instead of just see it.

What Our Guests Say

Travelers love the journey

Real experiences from real guests. Thirty years of making travelers feel at home on the road.

★★★★★

"Randall drove us around the Guanacaste area while we were staying in Tamarindo, and we had a great experience. He is very knowledgeable about the region and was incredibly helpful. We traveled with my wife and two kids, and he went out of his way to make sure our family was comfortable and taken care of. Overall a great experience and we would absolutely use Green Ride again."

★★★★★

"Randall made getting around Guanacaste so easy and enjoyable. He knows the area inside and out, and every drive felt like a mini tour with all the local spots he pointed out along the way. The van was always clean, cool, and comfortable. He is genuinely kind and you can tell he loves what he does. We felt completely at ease the entire time. Would not hesitate to recommend Green Ride to anyone visiting the area."

A lifetime of Pura Vida, distilled into every trip

Randall Zuñiga has been part of Costa Rica's tourism industry for more than thirty years. Long before Tamarindo became one of the most popular destinations in Central America, he was here, building relationships with hotel owners, tour operators, restaurant chefs, and the families who quietly make this country what it is.

As a hotel manager, he learned what travelers really want and what often goes wrong. As the host of one of Tamarindo's most popular nights out, he learned how to read a crowd and create a moment people would remember years later. As a father and lifelong local, he learned which roads to trust, which guides know their craft, and which views are worth the drive.

Green Ride is the natural next step. A private tour and transport service that brings every one of those skills into a single, seamless experience for travelers who want to feel Costa Rica, not just check it off a list.

What Guides Us

Three principles. Every trip.

i.

Hospitality First

Decades in Costa Rican hotels taught us that great service is invisible. You feel cared for without feeling watched. Every detail matters.

ii.

Local Truth

No staged experiences, no scripted commentary. Real Costa Rica, told by someone who has lived its evolution and loves what it has become.

iii.

Quiet Excellence

A clean van. A driver who arrives early. A guide who anticipates your questions. The basics, done relentlessly well.

Travel with someone who has earned the trust.

Thirty years of relationships in Guanacaste. A reputation built on showing up, every time. Let us plan something extraordinary.
