Highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Vini was so helpful and knowledgeable. He really tailored the experience for us. We really wanted to see monkeys, macaws, and toucans so he took us to spots he knew and went out of his way to find them for us during our journey to the various spots. The lunch spot was also amazing and a few macaws flew by to a nearby tree so we got lots of good pictures. Overall 10/10 experience and was the best tour we did in Costa Rica!

I traveled with 12 people, so I ended up with a private tour for my family. We had a wonderful day! We saw sloths, macaws, crocodiles, but our favorite was feeding the monkeys. Hazel, our tour guide, went out of her way to make sure that we had that experience. It made the whole day for my family. We stopped at a beautiful beach, went on a crocodile boat tour, which was wonderful. The boat guides were very knowledgeable. We went to a local fruit stand and we ate in a beautiful location overlooking the jungle. Our driver was so nice, he did not speak English very well, but he was so helpful, assisted us on and off the bus at each stop and paid special attention when getting my elderly parents of the bus. The whole day was a success.

We enjoyed the waterfall and lunch. Thought we would travel more through forest and rest on mountain cliffs with a view…Would have been nice to get pictures immediately!

Let me first say the tour guide was excellent however we did not get the full tour that was promised. There was some type of miscommunication that led to us not receiving the full experience. We completely skipped the crocodile 🐊 part of this excursion with no full explanation. I appreciate the parts that we did do but I would like to have gotten my full experience. Again, the guide was GREAT. Ronnie was very knowledgeable.

Where do I start? This tour had everything. Allan was our driver and tour guide. He did an amazing job explaining everything. You can tell he definitely knew the area. We saw the white faced monkeys, crocodiles, and all kinds of exotic birds. We even got an opportunity to spend a little time at the beach. Lunch was good too, and we had so many options to choose from. This tour was the last one that we did before leaving the island, and was DEFINITELY the BEST tour overall!

My sister and I both enjoyed this experience. We were picked up at 07:30 and drove for about 30 minutes and saw, feed, and enjoyed the beauty of small monkeys. We were then were taken to a location that was approximately 30 minutes away and took a boat ride to see crocodiles. After this we ate lunch and we’re given the chance to buy souvenirs at a local shop. Our tour ended with a trip to Jaco beach. Our tour guide Allam was awesome!!!

This tour was amazing. It was a last minute selection after we arrived to Jaco. Our guide, Albert, was so nice and very knowledgeable. Our driver was very skilled at navigating the roads. This tour was beyond what we expected and we loved it! We covered so much ground and had many stops (perfect photo ops). This tour is a must! Highly recommend.
