Traveler reviews
Mom and I had a great time!
Finding outings for my almost eighty year old mother that were reasonable for her to do at her level of fitness while we were in Costa Rica was important to me. She has the heart for ziplines; but she's not quite physically up to them these days! This tour was perfect for her. Our tour guide was Ivan. He was kind, considerate, funny and so knowledgeable! We saw absolutely beautiful birds, an amazing mandrake forest, crocodiles and even monkeys. It was a great way to spend our morning and I'm so glad we went!!

Nice experience in the mangrove forest
The travel time is adjusted to the tide; for us, it was moved forward by 2 hours. However, we were notified in time. The guide put a lot of effort into looking for animals; he even walked a bit into the forest with us so that we could see howler monkeys. He had cold drinks and fresh pineapple for everyone.
Beautiful & educational guided boat tour!
Ivan was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! We enjoyed a beautiful boat ride and a short walk through the forest, all while learning about the incredible mangrove and estuary ecosystems. We saw rare birds, howler monkeys and crocodiles up close. Our guide was good at keeping a fair distance and not disturbing wildlife, which we found very genuinely respectful of local animals and their habitats.
Estuary tour is amazing!
This was a very cool tour with the best guide ever! Ivan is super friendly, fun, very knowledgeable about the area and throws in lots of good humor to boot. You won't be disappointed! Saw lots of wildlife granted its all luck of the draw with mother nature. Ivan has a good eye so im sure you'll see plenty. Cheers!
