My girlfriend and I had a great experience. We were able to see and interact with the monkeys and learned a lot of cool information! The crocodile’s were cool to see from the viewpoint. Lunch was provided and very good! We also got to see a sloth in its natural habitat. Would recommend, a perfect way to spend the morning!!

      Monkeys, sloths, and Crocs

      The guide was enthusiastic to show us the monkeys. The crocodile boat ride was fantastic. We got to touch a crocodile in the water. He even found us a sloth at the beach we went to.

      Best. Time. Ever.

      Chris_R, Sep 2026
      We had so much fun on this excursion! Geirold was the absolute best! He knew the perfect spot to see the monkeys and had an incredible talent for spotting the sloths hiding way up in the trees. He truly made the experience memorable for our first time in Costa Rica! Highly recommended!

      Response from Host, Sep 2026

      Your words are very important for me I am very happy and proud of being one of your highlights in Costa Rica! Thank you and pura vida!

      Such a fun day and experience!

      Katy_W, Jul 2026
      Such a fun experience! We highly recommend this tour for anyone—couples, families, or groups of friends. Our guides were fun, knowledgeable, and made safety and comfort a top priority from start to finish. We had an amazing time and would absolutely do it again!

      Response from Host, Jul 2026

      Thank you for letting the world know how family friendly our tours are. We do this with love respect and gratitude! Pura vida !

      An absolute must do - 10/10!

      Alison_G, Jun 2026
      This experience was more than we even expected. Our guide, Geriald, was so knowledgeable and kind and I can’t imagine someone doing a better job. The other guide Jose was also so special, and was sweet to my inquisitive son. The monkey part was our favorite and is a must do! We also had lunch at an authentic soda which our family said was the best of the whole trip. We did see sloths and even a baby one 🥹 Highly recommend this tour - the cost is so reasonable for what you get. Hopefully you get Geriald and Jose!

      Best Trip Ever.

      Chris_C, Jun 2026
      Gerald was amazing and told us a lot about his beautiful country. His English was excellent and he worked EXTREMELY hard to ensure we had the best possible experience. We traveled with a group of 6. Two in their mid 70's and two kids ages 14 and 11. I would highly recommend using this company as our experience was wonderful.

      Great morning!

      KellyA_L, Apr 2026
      This was a great way to spend the morning! We spent time with monkeys, saw the crocs and found 2 sloths! One of the people in the group isn’t a huge animal lover and still really enjoyed. The tour was informative, fun, and overall very worth it.

      Ruben_G, Mar 2026
      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 !

      Monkeying around

      Anil_A, Mar 2026
      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 🇨🇷

      Cute Monkey’s

      Shannon_D, Mar 2026
      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!!

      Five star trip

      David_L, Mar 2026
      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.

      Response from Host, May 2026

      Thank you for your important time in family with our company. The driver told me that he knows he is not the best driver in the world but i still believe he is 😄 pura vida and thank you 🙏

      Wildlife tour - Feb 2026

      David_S, Feb 2026
      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 !

      Great excursion

      Lyne_C, Feb 2026
      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 🇨🇦

      Great time and great guide

      Lauren_S, Feb 2026
      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! Gracias y pura Vida 🇨🇷

      What a great tour and well worth the cost. Our tour guide, Stanley was very friendly and informative. He really helped to make the day successful. We saw a lot of capuchin monkeys close up, crocodiles and a sloth. Lunch was local cuisine and excellent.

      Animals and local Culture

      David_C, Jan 2026
      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 🇨🇷❤️

      Awsome Experience!

      Jenny_B, Jan 2026
      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!!

      Response from Host, May 2026

      Thank you! That was a beautiful end of 2025. We wish you the best.

      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!

      Monkey and Sloths

      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.
