Local Guides is a curated collection of independent guides where local knowledge genuinely improves the experience. We don’t list everyone and we don’t operate as a marketplace.
Featured local guides
We feature up to three guides at a time. Each featured guide is vetted and approved before they appear here.
Tortuguero, Costa Rica (Featured Guide #1)
Calm, nature-focused experiences with a guide who knows Tortuguero’s ecosystems and rhythms.
Featured Guide #2
We’re currently reviewing and vetting additional local guides.
Featured Guide #3
Tell us where you’re going and what you want to do. We’ll point you in the right direction.
Booking and payment are handled directly with each guide. Earthbound does not process local guide payments.

Are you a local tour guide?
Earthbound works with a small number of independent guides where local knowledge truly matters. We don’t sell placements and we don’t do pay-to-play listings.
If you believe your services may be a fit, reach out with your location, what you specialize in, and your best contact method.
