Amazing experience by Calypso Tours- owned and operated by a woman, Bethshive, who went above and beyond to make our experience special and memorable. you were able to see a lot of animals on the river, including a sloth!! We had a great time and highly recommend other families to take this tour!

The tour was s great experience, complete with funny, knowledgeable guides. The float down the river was a relaxing chance to be in the middle of nature and to see diff wildlife. We saw monkeys, lizards, various birds and there's a chance to see even more. Highly recommend!
