Monkeys can be dirty so don’t be afraid or surprised about the mess.
It’s very interactive, if you’re afraid of being touched by the monkeys, make sure to let your guide know.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Yes yes we recommend to bring extra clothes our beach time it’s incredible!
Thank you for your very important time !

This trip is well worth the cost.
Monkeys were very friendly and that was the highlight.
Didn't see the crocodiles since the bridge was under construction.
Saw sloths and a porcupine.
The beach excursion was great.
One word of advice go to the beach before you have lunch.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We need to say sorry for the crocodiles 🐊 part due to the effects of the construction 🚧
They are having their distance!
We are using this time for the sloths 🦥 part !
For ever in our hearts !
There is going to be a next time !
Pura vida 🇨🇷

Due to road construction at this time there was a lot of time spent in the car but there is nothing a tour could do about this. Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable! We did see a Sloth with her baby!! Monkeys’s were fun! No crocodiles due to the bridge construction. Lunch was delicious!!

This was a wonderful tour for our entire family- grandparents, adults and a four year old grandson. We saw several groups of monkeys, many lizards, a cayman, and a multitude of birds. After touring the river area, we were taken by van to a restaurant for a delicious lunch. The driver of the tour van was very careful and we complimented him on his driving skills. The tour operator was knowledgeable and informed about all of the wildlife we saw. This is a trip well worth repeating the next time that we visit in Costa Rica. We recommend it highly.

We ended up going south from Jaco rather than north towards Tarcoles ( to avoid the traffic from the bridge construction). It didn't matter, we had an amazing time with our knowledgeable guide Geirold. We saw lots of monkeys, a sloth and a lot of other wildlife followed by a nice lunch in Paritas. We really enjoyed our excursion.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for accepting sharing your important time with us hopefully you were able to see and learn something new and different!
Gracias y pura vida !

We all absolutely enjoyed this excursion.
If all we would’ve done and seen on this tour was the white face monkey we would’ve all been content with that however, we got to also see a couple crocodiles and a couple sloth laying in the tree. The monkey interaction was a 10 on 10. The food was great. Our guide was absolutely wonderful very knowledgable and polite. We all definitely recommend. Guest from Canada 🇨🇦

We got picked up. Transportation had AC. We were grouped with one other person. Our guide was great. He told us all about Costa Rica. He explained and showed us things as we drove past and also answered all our curious questions. He also taught us a lot about the animals, birds, beaches, etc. Overall it was a great experience and a lot of fun. The monkeys were the best part for me and the beach. The included lunch was yummy too. We got snacks as well. The sloths were hard to spot, but our guide was really good at finding them and helping us see them.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
We wish you the best in life and hopefully there is going to be a next time!

We saw a lot of capuchin monkeys close up, crocodiles and a sloth. Lunch was local cuisine and excellent.

We had a wonderful experience on the Monkey, Sloth, and Crocodile Tour. The day was well organized and offered a great mix of wildlife viewing, learning about Costa Rica, and time to relax.
Our guide, Gabriel, was excellent..very informative, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and environment. He did a great job explaining what we were seeing and answering questions, which really enhanced the experience.
We were able to see monkeys and sloths, which was a highlight of the tour. We did not see crocodiles this time, but it’s important to understand that these are wild animals and sightings are never guaranteed. That unpredictability is part of experiencing nature in an authentic way.
The tour included a delicious, typical Costa Rican lunch. The meal was fresh, flavorful, and a great introduction to local cuisine. It was wrapped up perfectly with some time at Jaco Beach.
Overall, this was an enjoyable and well-rounded tour, and we appreciated the balance of nature, education, and relaxation. We would definitely recommend it to others visiting Costa Rica.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
We are very happy to know it was one of the best experiences in Costarican land!
We are happy to provide the + mile at all the times!
See you soon friends 🇨🇷❤️

We had an outstanding morning with Geriold. My teenage daughters, husband, and I all had a great time on the tour and learned a bunch about animals, the nature of CR, educational system, topography, and a ton more. We visited the monkeys, saw crocodiles, had lunch at a lovely restaurant, and finished seeing some sloths and relaxing on the shore. Well-worth the time and money spent and a great last adventure of 2025! Thanks, Geriold!!
Katherine_K, Jan 2026
We saw lots of monkeys, they would sit on your shoulders it was super neat, there were crocodiles and unique birds, sloth with baby up high in trees. The tour guide was super nice full of info. Lunch was provided and very good. Would recommend.
Susan_L, Dec 2025
It was so cool to see monkeys up close. Geraldo was very knowledgeable & did an excellent job despite the challenges with the holidays.
ARON_W, Dec 2025
Super great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable about the animals, their history and wellbeing. We saw so many monkeys and even two sloths. Very worthwhile trip. Enjoy!
Laura_W, Dec 2025
Our guide was wonderful. He was sure we understood that the monkeys could be dangerous if you interacted with them in appropriately and was careful to give us good instructions on proper behavior. Frankly, it is a little scary having all the monkeys, but as long as you behaved and didn’t do anything inappropriate, it was a great experience. We had a little beach time with chairs and drinks, which was a nice break.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your love, interest and respect for wildlife.
More than a tour is the experience of your lifetime!

We had an amazing time on Geriold's tour. He first took us to meet the white faced monkeys, which was the highlight of the trip because they jumped all over us. Geriold was very informative and gave us a lot of great information about their habitat and family dynamic. We also went to Crocodile Bridge and ate an amazing Costa Rican lunch that my picky 9 year old loved! He then took us to see a sloth right up in the tree above us at the only white sand beach in Jaco. My kids did not want to leave! Overall it was an amazing tour and I would highly recommend it!
Amy_T, May 2025
We had the most amazing day with Geirold as our guide. The monkey excursion is unbeatable & Geirold will help you have an experience that you are comfortable with. We loved having the monkeys on our heads, shoulders, and arms!!! The crocodiles that we saw were HUGE! Brunch was so fresh and delicious. Best traditional Costa Rican food that we’ve eaten! And finally since Geirold is an ecotourism expert, we got to see a female, 2-toe sloth in the wild just off a beautiful, secluded beach. A rave review for this activity!!
Mel_D, May 2025
