Memorable experience
This was an incredible experience. They serve lunch, which is great for a beach day on the island. However, you’ll need to rent chairs, which costs about 20,000 colones for two, or about $20. Don’t forget to pay for the restrooms on the island, which cost around 600 colones. They offer a variety of activities, food, drinks, and snacks. There’s also a gift shop. The snorkeling was incredible, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out many great things.

A Must-Do Night Walk in Monteverde
Great Night Tour with an Amazing Guide
We had a really great experience on this night walking tour in Monteverde – definitely worth it!
Our guide, Pablo, was very kind and knowledgeable. He showed us many animals, especially a sloth, as well as a tarantula, a scorpion, and lots of insects and spiders. He also shared interesting information about them and different plants.
It was very convenient that he provided us with flashlights for free. He also had a spotting scope so we could see everything up close.
Overall, a very enjoyable and interesting experience – we would definitely recommend it!

The Tortuga Island trip...
The Tortuga Island trip was great. We snorkeled, went on a Banana Boat, and did the island hike in the afternoon, and relaxed on the beach in between. They set up chairs and umbrellas for everyone, which was an added surprise, and the lunch and unlimited margaritas were delicious. We would definitely do this again!

Fantastic Shore Excursion from Puntarenas!
Hazel, our guide and Benny,our driver showed us all around. The highlight was the crocodile river cruise! Not only did we see crocodiles, we enjoyed seeing over 30 different birds! Hazel had so much information to share. It was fun to see the monkeys too. We lunch stop was delicious. I recommend the chicken! We got back to the ship with time to shop a little. Great tour!

Excellent tour, highly recommend
We had a WONDERFUL time on this tour. The value for the price is really unbeatable. Ive been to Costa Rica before and we saw most of the highlights. Our tour guide, Alex, was very conversational and had a lot of info about the country and the wildlife. We even spotted a group of scarlet Macaws.
I did wish to have a little bit more time at the souvenir shop at the end because it is also a butterfly garden so we spent a good amount of time with the butterflies rather than shopping.
The pick up and drop off was easy and they keep track of your cruise ship in case of a port change.

Wonderful experience
It was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was Mr. Johanny. He did an excellent job; very friendly, patient, and funny. We had never kayaked before. He taught us how to kayak and made us feel comfortable, even in the dark. We end up kayaking for 90 minutes. We highly recommend this experience. It is very easy to take a 3 pm ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera, do the activity, and take the 8 pm ferry back to Puntarenas. This is worth the money. There is not much else to do in Pauqera.

Good experience with the tour and kind guide
This was a super fun experience to do. We did a night raft tour in La Fortuna and picked this for Monteverde and I’m glad we did. Mauricio was our guide throughout and he did a great job of sporting different animals for us, telling jokes, checking on us throughout, helping us get amazing photos. I had mentioned being terrified of snakes (I know, coming to the jungle was a bad idea with that fear) but he was honestly super kind about it. When he spotted some in trees he would ask if I wanted to see it and told me what it was before I went up to the scope which was very kind and greatly appreciated. I pushed myself to see the first one and felt that was enough, but he still gave me the option every time afterward. I’ve had previous guides on past tours make jokes or not tell me and say it was something else so I really appreciated that he was thoughtful with it.

Interesting night walk
Exciting night tour with amazing guide Johnny. The weather was not ideal for animal watching, but Johnny still did a great job finding multiple frogs, vipers, birds, and insects. I would definitely recommend hiring a guide, or it’s almost impossible to spot wild animals at night.

LOVED everything about...
LOVED everything about this experience! Very fun, stunning views on the forest, and some of the ziplines were literally through a cloud. I'm not an adrenaline junkie and the superman and the tarzan swing looked really scary to do, but they were actually really fun! Definitely wear long trousers, as for the top it can get chilly while you wait but there also some steep paths to walk which can make you sweat a lot. The crew was always very attentive.

Everything was Amazing
The description of this excursion was exactly what happened. It was a full day seeing crocodiles, walking through the rainforest, crossing the wire bridges, stopping for some shopping. A fun failed day. Our guide Alejandro was the best. He was very knowledgeable about Costa Rica and Eduardo our driver made it a smooth day trip. I recommend this excursion and Alejandro.

Awesome Tour
We had the best time! Our tour guide, Memo was fun, entertaining and very knowledgeable. Steven was great assisting us with the snorkeling. The lunch was fabulous! The captain returned us safe and sound. The only thing that would make this tour better is to have pickup right off the pier. It was difficult getting to the departure point. Memo made sure we were transported back to the pier. Thank all of you for a wonderful, memorable day.

Best zip line tour I’ve been on!
Firstly the guides Enrique and Wagner were AMAZING! Friendly, experienced, professional and made sure we were safe and comfortable. The course was spectacular with waterfalls, howlers and butterflies everywhere. Best zip line experience I’ve ever been on including Hawaii. And lunch at the Tucan restaurant after with a view over the hillside all the way to the ocean topped off our time there. Fantastic!!
