About us
Meet Andy
Andy Pruter has called the Osa Peninsula home since 1993 and founded Everyday Adventures in 1994. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Biology from Humboldt State University and began his career in Northern California, working for a marine laboratory under contract with the Surfrider Foundation before joining the U.S. Forest Service. There, he surveyed planned timber harvests for the presence of threatened and endangered wildlife species.
For more than three decades, Andy has combined his scientific background, deep knowledge of Costa Rica's ecosystems, and passion for surfing and adventure to create unforgettable experiences for visitors exploring the Osa Peninsula.
Meet Talon
Growing up in Matapalo, Talon has spent his entire life immersed in the rainforest, the ocean, and the incredible wildlife that makes the Osa Peninsula so special. Following in his father's footsteps, he has become an experienced guide and now leads many of our tours, sharing his local knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for the region with guests from around the world.
Wildlife hikes, surfing adventures, or family excursions - Talon brings a fun, joyful approach and a lifetime of firsthand experience that helps guests connect with Costa Rica's natural beauty.

A Family Passion
Andy and his children, Talon and Cayenne, have grown up surrounded by nature at the family's Sueño Verde property in Matapalo. Surfing, wildlife, and outdoor adventure have always been central to their lives.
“Where everyday is a holiday, and every meal is a feast.”
Our Home Base
Every tour begins and ends at our beachside compound in Matapalo, where we all meet and share an overview of the day's adventure.
Families especially enjoy spending time here before or after their tour. For families, our guides are happy to help keep younger adventurers entertained while everyone prepares for the day's activities. Children can explore the property, swing on the famous 50-foot jungle swing, chase Snowball - our friendly white Guinea hen - or enjoy the basketball hoop, ping pong table, and horseshoe pit while everyone gets ready for the day's activities.
A Lifestyle Built Around Nature
When the rainy season arrives (typically from August through November), Everyday Adventures takes a seasonal break. During this time, Andy enjoys spending the autumn months visiting Northern California, Lake Michigan, and Austin before returning to the Osa Peninsula for another season of adventure.
