Great experience in La Fortuna for animal watching!
This is a great experience for adults and kids! We went with our 7 year old son and had a blast looking for the different animals in their habitat. Our tour guide, Pablo, was extremely knowledgeable about the animals. We got to see sloths, toucans, monkeys, a variety of birds and a crocodile. The staff was extremely accommodating and patient throughout the process. The snack at the end was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend this tour if you are traveling with young children - it is entertaining and exciting for the adults as well.

Josue is a newer guide...
Josue is a newer guide but he's hungry and humble. You can tell that he has a passion for this job and wants to do it well.
He was able to show us and inform us about many plants and animals, most importantly 4 sloths (including 1 baby sloth).
He does a great job of making sure everyone has an opportunity to get a good look through the scope. He's patient and happy to take pictures and videos with your phone through the scope too.
This can be done in its own or as part of a package with other activities.
This particular tour is located very close to La Fortuna town, if that matters to you.

* Relaxing Yet Adventurous Wildlife Boat Tour
We absolutely loved this twilight wildlife boat tour. Even though it had been pouring rain beforehand, the weather turned out perfect and made the entire experience feel peaceful, soothing, and incredibly relaxing.
The wildlife sightings were amazing — we saw howler monkeys, a tayra, iguanas, and even a snakebird. The guides made us feel very safe throughout the tour, and the atmosphere on the water at twilight was unforgettable.
One thing to note: if you have significant back or lower extremity issues, this tour may be uncomfortable since you are seated in a raft for about 1.5 hours.
For us, though, it was the perfect mix of adventure, fun, and nature. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a unique and tranquil wildlife experience.

Exceeded our expectations
This is the only experience during our Costa Rican vacation that met our expectations. It is a very long drive from Los Suenos, but our driver, Jesus, made it a pleasure with his information about the area and culture. We were lucky enough to get Crazy Alex as our tour guide and he lives up to his nickname. He is extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and he is funny and very entertaining. The monkey encounter exceeded our expectations. We got very upclose and person with these adorable creatures. It is a memory that we will cherish for a long time.

A great experience in the mangrove
Our guide was Juan Carlos and he was amazing. He is a naturalist and walking encyclopedia of nature and biology as well as being super friendly and fun. We saw crocs, a rare boat nosed heron, monkeys and iguanas. He truly loves his job and taught us respect for the mangrove.

Amazing Day!
Alex did an amazing job as our tour guide and driver! He was super attentive to guests who needed extra care in our group. He was super energetic although he had a lot of us to keep up with. He was able to spot animals with his naked eye then show us through his telescope. He prepared us for everything (entry rules for Manuel Antonio, the heat, etc). Know that it is a very long day and that it is very hot and humid in the park so be prepared.

So far this has been the...
So far this has been the most wildlife we’ve seen in Costa Rica through this safari float tour. It was so fun and saw a bunch of monkeys, a crocodile, a toucan, a grey hawk (which had a squirrel caught!) and some other cool animals. The views alone are also magnificent. 100% recommend this tour, lunch was also provided and very good. Thank you Austin and the team!

The best waterfalls in jaco!!!
This is the ONLY waterfall experience you should do in Jaco. Jorge, the owner of the land and the tour guide is amazing at what he does. You get to explore beautiful untouched forest and waterfalls, swim in the fresh clear water, and learn about the plants and animals. This was a big highlight of my trip. Thank you for sharing your beautiful land with us Jorge.

Wonderful! Tons of wildlife!
I took my 3 year old on this boat ride by myself and it was absolutely wonderful. We saw over 10 small crocodiles and two large crocodiles, one of them completely out of the water. We also saw a ton of cool birds, including rosette spoonbills. The guide was so kind and they were respectful to the animals. Highly recommend.

Hernan was great!
Hernan is one of the most incredible guides I have ever had anywhere in the world. His university studies for being able to be a nature guide is so obvious in his knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of the dry forest and the wet forest and the animals and plants that inhabit it. We did the loop trail and learned so much about plants, transition zones, animals, and the geology.
His answers were never just a few words, but were obviously educated, detailed understanding and expression of the way these things all relate to each other and the beauties that they hold.
Absolutely outstanding!

Calling all Monkey Lovers!!
We had such a great time! Tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. We were running a little late and they waited for us! We drove to the location, the drive was not bad. Monkeys were so comfortable and friendly! They jumped on our shoulders and ate out of our hands. It was such a great experience. After we saw crocodiles off the bridge and ate an authentic Costa Rica meal. The meal was so good and filling I couldn’t eat it all. Get the peach tea! Best peach tea I ever had! Amazing trip! Definitely recommend!

AMAZING Tour! Tons of night life!
Wow! What an amazing experience! Carlos was an excellent tour guide. We walked maybe 100 feet and saw a howler monkey and a sloth! This was only the start, we got to see so many cool creatures. And Carlos is so knowledgeable it made for such a great experience. Wish I could use have Carlos on all my Costa Rica tours!
