Martin was a great river guide! We saw 2 crocodiles, many iguanas and birds, a few monkeys and one sloth. The ride was about 1.5 hours in total, takes about 20 minutes to drive to the launch line point. Only your feet get wet, easy to sit and take pictures as you try to spot animals.

Request Nelvin as your guide. Highly knowledgeable. Due to being in rainforest, bring watershoes and ponch if wanted. Saw tons of wildlife.

Nelvin was incredible, he really made it an experience to remember. He had so many facts and answered all of our questions. He was also so friendly and funny and was great to chat to. Thank you for going above and beyond. The driver was also very friendly and kind. We wish the tour could have lasted forever ☺️ We saw lots of birds, bats, monkeys and iguanas. We recommend this tour highly!

Nelvin was great! He would stop the float for us to see the monkeys and point out other wildlife. The snack after at Mija Cafe was amazing as well!

Perfect adventure- we saw so many monkeys, relaxed on a peaceful float down the waterway, and had so much fun w/our tour guide Armando. We finished up with snacks at a local farm, where we saw birds of many vibrant colors stop in for a tasty bite of tropical fruit put out for them. Amazing family memories made!

Muchas gracias to our tour guide, Pablo, for an amazing tour. Pablo is very knowledgable in guiding our group along the tour and sharing information about Costa Rica. This tour includes learning about Costa Rica as well as seeing the wildlife in their natural habitat. At the end if the tour, the traditional meal of tortilla, queso and maduro, which was delicious, and provided the opportunity to have coffee, aqua dulce, casita, and hot chocolate. Pura Vida!

This was so much fun, we saw crocodiles, monkeys, lizards, so many birds and a sloth! So worth it! Our tour guide was so great and the food at the end was so good.

Great time as the boats are small the whole experience feels more intimate. Your so close to monkeys and birds just remember to bring a camera, in dry season it's very easy to keep it dry and row at the same time
