Crocodile Safari

Summary

After hotel pickup in the Jaco area, your tour starts as you board the riverboat for your crocodile cruise on the Tárcoles River. Your captain keeps an eye out for the biggest American crocodiles in the water, hopefully providing you with a good look at these reptiles. Depending on the season, a variety of other wildlife can also be spotted, including birds such as ospreys, cormorants, pelicans, and frigates (October to April). The Tárcoles' mangrove system is home to roughly 55 types of birds and is a refuge for scarlet macaws. At the end of the cruise, enjoy a lunch of typical Costa Rican cuisine before transport back to your pickup location.
