What are people saying about Limon

Cahuita National Park Tour and Water Experience in Puerto Viejo

Michaela_K, Sep 2026

Best guide and you need a good guide!

Fantastic trip. Adrian was an extremely knowledgeable guide. We saw loads of species, 2 and 3 toe sloths, snakes, various lizard, iguana, butterflies, monkeys and many others, we would not have spotted half of them without him. Not only did we see them but he explained so much about them. You definitely need a guide in the Cahuita park and Adrian was fantastic, he even helped other guides to see things. We didn’t get deep into the park as we saw so much and were taking our time to look at the various species. We took a short break at the beach before heading out and on to Bri Bri falls. A shorter visit but to suit us and Adrian again pointed out various species including tree frogs and bullet ants en route then took us down to the falls where you can swim or sit on the rocks and dip your toes in. Supplied a fruit snack and biscuits! You could also get coconut water here. I can’t recommend this tour and Adrian the guide enough. We wish we’d known about him sooner as he does tours to Manzanillo too. Well worth it if you actually want to see and learn about the various animals, reptiles, birds, fauna and flora of Costa Rica. You even get a pick up and drop off, still back in time to have some afternoon left over.

A warm unforgettable evening with Josefina

We booked this cooking class expecting to chop and stir alongside the host, but it turned into something even better. Instead of cooking ourselves, we sat around Josefina's bar and watched her work, and it felt less like a class and more like being welcomed into a family member's home. Josefina was a wonderful host from start to finish. As she cooked, she shared tips and tricks along the way, but what really made the experience special was hearing her family's history and learning about Puerto Viejo itself. Its culture, its roots, and what makes the area so unique. It gave the whole evening a depth we weren't expecting. She sent us home with the recipes afterward, so we can try recreating the dishes ourselves. It was a genuinely wonderful, heartfelt experience, and one I would happily do all over again.

The Sloth and Kayak Tour - Ethical wildlife encounters

KEVIN_B, Jul 2026

Fantastico!!!

The tour with Dani was fantastic! Definitely a great start to my Costa Rican vacation! We got to see turtles, bats, iguanas & sloths that I wouldn’t have seen without a guide, not to mention Dani gave me great recommendations for Puerto Viejo! Highly recommend this tour!

Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva

Tallmadge_R, Jul 2026

Great tour!

We had an excellent time! The clear bottom kayaks didnt add much to the experience and took a little bit to get comfortable. We weren't able to do the whole tour because of the weather so maybe other parts of the tour on clearer days would have made the clear kayaks cool. We loved the tour though. Esteban dud a great job and showed us lots of insects lizards birds and plant life. We also saw a few sloths and lots of monkeys. The hike was a lot of fun where we saw a few more sloths and learned about some history of punta uva and some more about plant life. We went with a 10 month old and a 3 year old. Both fussed a little bit during the kayak tour but eventually fell asleep. They both loved the hiking part!

Indigenous territory and Bribri Falls Talamanca, Costa Rica

Anna_O, Jun 2026

Highly educational and fun experience that ignites all the senses!

A MUST do! Elisio was a fantastic guide- highly professional, educational, and friendly. We learned about the Bri Bri culture through historical context but also from Elisio’s personal background and experience as a person of Bri Bri ethnic background. We examined artifacts, and got a succinct history lesson. Firsthand, we experienced roasting cacao beans, grinding in the traditional manner, and finally getting to sample the cacao paste in a carmelized banana which was delicious and nutritious. We learned about the Bri Bri culture and how they have adapted to modern times. Every sense was ignited as there was a lot to see, hear, smell, taste, and feel! We then visited the Bri Bri waterfall and it was a refreshing swim and great because barely anyone else was there in mid-June. Great way to spend a morning and early afternoon and learn about the local culture!

Puerto Viejo Sloth Jungle and River Kayaking Tour

Jennifer_P, Jun 2026

Book now or miss out on something very special!!!!

This was genuinely one of the most special experiences of my entire life! Our guide was beyond passionate, knowledgeable, and kind. We first began with a walking tour where he pointed out floral and fauna, as well as important cultural elements. After, we kayaked down the most beautiful river where he continued to educate us and point out animals we surely would’ve missed without him. I had never kayaked before, and now I love it! Our guide even found us a sloth coming down a tree from the river which is very rare! If you are thinking about booking this, you need to right now bc if you do not you’ll seriously miss out on something so special!

Half day Tortuguero Canal, Cahuita National Park & Puerto Limon

Maria_P, Apr 2026

Wonderful day in Costa Rica

This private tour was incredible! We were met by our guides Kathi and George were very knowledgeable and pointed out treasures of the jungle we would have never been able to find. We were fortunate enough to see sloths monkeys crocs and iguanas. They took very good care of us providing bottles of water and fresh fruit. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour group!

White Water Rafting Pacuare River with Lunch From Puerto Viejo

Allyson_L, Mar 2026

The BEST time!!!

We had the BEST time white water rafting. One of our favorite experiences while in Costa Rica. Andres was our guide and he was so fun and lively. We came from Puerto Viejo, the company picked us up directly from our hotel. It was about an hour and a half drive to the rafting place. We enjoyed breakfast and they had lockers to place our belongings. The rafting was so fun, be prepared to get absolutely soaked and to fully participate. It’s not a relaxing cruise down a river, you have to physically participate. It was an all day activity and at the end we were also fed lunch and able to change into a fresh pair of clothes. They then gave us a ride back to our hotel. We would definitely recommend this activity!!!

Caribbean Highlights Shore Excursion from Limon

Lisa_S, Feb 2026

Our day in Limón, CR

Juan, our guide, did an excellent job sharing info and taking us to great sites in Limón, Costa Rica. We took a great safari boat ride and saw a sloth, iguanas, howling monkeys and several bird species. The plantation visit was awesome! We learned about local fruits, coffee and sugar cane.

Bribri Magic Chocolate and Waterfall Experience

Gianna_M, Feb 2026

If you love plants, history, chocolate, and waterfalls, THIS is the trip to take

Braulio is an amazing guide. He is knowledgeable, interesting, and has an intimate connection to everything he shares. His English is excellent, and he has a refreshingly positive worldview. The trip to the Bribri family farm was enlightening, and it was very fun to make chocolate from scratch...and then, of course, drink and eat it! The trip to the waterfall was truly something worthwhile. It had been raining a lot in the previous days, so the trail was muddy, and there were some stairs to navigate, but he was very patient and kind, helping us manage it all (literally - holding arms and keeping us upright!) so we could fulfill our dream of swimming in the waterfall waters. He has new, clean transportation, and it was extremely convenient that he picked us up and dropped us off directly from our hotel and another couple from their airb&b. If you love plants, history, chocolate, and waterfalls, THIS is the trip to take and THIS for sure is the person to take it with. I also loved that we were home by 1 PM so that there was plenty of the day left to do other things.

2 Hour Beach Horse Back Riding in Puerto Viejo

Beth_M, Jan 2026

Fantastic experience and tour

I loved every aspect of the tour. The owner is a genuine kind person. She had a calm energy. The mission of the ranch is to strengthen and plump up horse rescues. The horses we rode were healthy and listened well. The sight seeing and beach walk were one of a kind. Highly recommend!

Best Guides-Two Thumbs Up

Our trip was fantastic! Our guide Ariel and his driver Gato were more than accommodating. They were prompt at pick up and were very informative. All of our questions were answered without hesitation. We would highly recommend. I would give ten stars if possible,
