What property photography and 360° virtual tours actually cost, what moves the number up or down, and what a complete quote should contain. Photography from $425, tours from $650.
A small property — a restaurant, a clinic, a handful of rooms — generally lands near the $650 starting point. Most hotel, resort and real estate projects sit between $1,800 and $4,000, because they need more scenes, drone aerials and Google Street View publication. Multi-building resorts and projects that include 360° video are quoted individually.
We do not publish a per-photo rate, because it tends to mislead. Two properties with the same room count can need very different numbers of scenes depending on how the spaces connect. What we do commit to is that the number on your quote is the number you pay — it is agreed before the shoot, and revisions are already inside it.
Stills for listings, rentals, villas and hotels. Priced per property, not per hour.
| Package | From | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Listing Condo or home, up to 3 bedrooms | $425 | 25 edited images, half day on site |
| Villa 4–6 bedrooms | $895 | 40 images, full day, twilight exterior and drone aerials |
| Estate & Hotel 7+ bedrooms or boutique hotel | from $1,850 | 60+ images, drone video, detail set |
Adding the 360° tour while we are already on site costs a fraction of booking it separately.

Add-ons — twilight sessions, drone video, Street View publication, floor plans, rush delivery and agency rates — are listed in full on the property photography page.
In rough order of impact. If you know where you sit on these six, you can predict your own quote fairly closely.
The single biggest factor. Each 360° scene is a separate bracketed capture and a separate hand-stitch in post. Five scenes and fifty scenes are genuinely different projects.
Aerial 360° work adds a flight, and for properties where the setting is the selling point — volcano views, beachfront, jungle canopy — it usually earns its place.
Publishing to Google Maps through the Street View Trusted programme is work beyond building your tour, and it is what puts your interior inside the search result itself.
Spherical video is a different production to stills — more shooting time, considerably more post. It is the step from walking through a space to watching it come alive.
A basic tour navigates room to room. A custom one carries your branding, floor plans, booking links and information hotspots on every amenity. That build time is real.
We are based in La Fortuna and shoot nationwide. Work in Guanacaste, Manuel Antonio or the south Pacific carries a travel line so you can see exactly what it adds.
Straightforward, no-surprise pricing. Every project includes 12K HDR capture, manual stitching, and unlimited revisions until you're happy.
For small businesses ready to be seen.
The sweet spot for resorts & brokers.
Cinematic. Custom. Unforgettable.
Same principle as above: a number agreed before the work starts, not a meter running while you wait for an invoice.
Fast, bilingual sites built to convert — with your 360° tour on the page where the booking decision actually happens.
We find the repetitive work inside your business, put a number on it, and automate the parts worth automating.
Billing by the hour means you carry the risk of us being slow, and we get paid more for taking longer. Neither of those is a good deal for you. So we scope the work, agree a number, and that number holds — if a build takes longer than we estimated, that is our problem. The one thing we ask in return is a real scoping conversation up front, which for AI work is what the $950 audit is.
Whoever you end up hiring, these are the six lines worth checking. A quote missing them is not cheaper — it is just less finished.
Want the longer version? We wrote it up in detail: how much a virtual tour costs in Costa Rica.
Projects start at $650 USD for a small property of up to five scenes, and most hotel, resort and real estate projects land between $1,800 and $4,000 depending on how many spaces need covering. The number of 360° scenes is the single biggest driver. Every project is quoted individually and the price is agreed before we shoot.
Six things, roughly in order of impact: the number of scenes, whether drone aerials are included, whether the tour is published to Google Street View, whether you need 360° video as well as stills, how much custom hotspot and branding work the tour needs, and travel time if the property is far from La Fortuna.
No. Every package includes unlimited revisions until you are happy with the result. Revisions are the part most quotes leave vague, and it is where unexpected costs usually appear.
Your tour is hosted and we keep the project files for two years, so adding scenes later is a top-up rather than a reshoot. Ask us to put the hosting terms in writing on your quote — any photographer should be willing to do that.
Usually because they are not quoting the same thing. A low quote often covers raw 360° images without a built tour, auto-stitched in-camera at 4K–6K rather than hand-stitched at 12K, with revisions billed hourly and hosting charged separately from year two. Compare the deliverables, not the headline number.
Yes — we shoot nationwide, and regularly work in Guanacaste and Manuel Antonio. Travel beyond the Arenal area is quoted as a line item so you can see exactly what it adds.
Tell us the property type and roughly how many spaces you want covered. We come back with a fixed quote and a delivery date, usually within 24 hours.
