Top Costa Rica Nature and Wildlife Tours - page 59

Saul was amazing. He spotted mating dragonflies, camoflauged caterpillars, and so much more. We got some great pics of monkeys and sloths. We felt like we saw all of Costa Rican wildlife in one trip and got some amazing pics. Would highly recommend the tour. I would also recommend doing the earliest tour you can manage, because it does get hot and crowded as the day goes on.

MIUST DO EXCURSION. If you are trying to decide on what to do while in the area. Pick this!!! Our favorite day in Costa Rica was visiting Isla Tortuga. Costa Cat made it an even more of an amazing experience. We drove to the Marina, check-in was fast and easy. Throughout the trip you get unlimited water, soft drinks, jungle juice, and margaritas. You can pay an additional fee to upgrade your drinks to more options. We aren’t big drinkers so we did not opt in to this option. We docked at Isla Tortuga they had an area of lounge chairs and umbrellas reserved for us. We started off the day by taking a mini boat out to snorkel, they provided goggles, snorkels, flippers, and life vests. We saw a few fish nothing too crazy. We ate lunch cooked by the team. Chicken, Rice, Beans, and Salad. The crew sang happy birthday to me and gave us Chiliguero shots 🫶🏼. Lots of food left over if anyone wanted seconds. Later on we went out to ride the banana boat, they provided helmets and life jackets. Got thrown off several times.🤣 Eco Walking trail, had options of 15 minutes, 25 minutes, and 45 minutes. The trail begins off with very steep stairs so we stopped at the 15 minute mark. You still get an amazing view. We got to see howler monkeys super up close. Lastly I just want to make a point of how the Captian and the crew were so attentive, never let you be with an empty drink, cleaned up our trash so quickly, overall super friendly, and just amazing service. We live in Vegas so our standard of service I would say is pretty high, but these guys did great. Can’t wait to come back again. Pura Vida 🏝️🫶🏼

This tour was incredible, and we saw so much more than just sloths (although we saw plenty of those -- I think we saw about ten of them, including two or three babies, and we saw the faces of 6-8 of the sloths)! In addition to the (surprisingly active) sloths, we also saw a toucan, poison dart frogs, leaf cutter ants, a rufous motmot, a cool lizard, and a pair of crested guans, as well as some interesting insects. Our guide, Ivania, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and skilled at her job. She did a great job of spotting things, got great photos and video of the animals for us, was very generous with her time, and was super fun to talk to. The time with her flew by, and we had an absolute blast, so much so that we recommended this tour to multiple other people we met while in other locations on our Costa Rica trip (and now we are recommending it to you! :) ).
