      This was an amazing experience being immersed in the rain forest and seeing and hearing nature change as night set in. The activity was very peaceful and we had the opportunity to see lots of wildlife. Our guide was very informative and educated us on lots of the native species we saw and heard. The snacks at the end were an unexpected bonus, we had more than enough to eat. Really appreciated the pick up and drop off service after a busy day travelling to La Fortuna, it was the perfect way to start our vacation.

      Our tour guide Bella was phenomenal! Right away we saw a river otter, crocodile, several groups of monkeys, birds.. a teeny tiny bat! How these guys are able to notice some of these things is incredible. Everyone was so kind and knowledgeable. The treat at the end was so nice! Able to get to chat with the rest of the group and have some local food was a nice touch. Pura Vida!

      Bryan was the best

      Twilight boat safari

      Great way to see the rainforest at night. Knowledgeable guide and well looked after! Costa Rican local food to end the evening :)

      Incredible, once in a lifetime trip!

      Sophia_D, Feb 2026
      Absolutely incredible! The tour was seamless starting with a timely pick up at our hotel, where Moises the bus guide immediately pointed out a sloth we totally would have missed at our hotel! On our cruise we saw monkeys, toucans, cayman, crocodile, bats…and the scenery itself is absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Brian was kind, made us comfortable and was very sweet with my impatient three year old. I highly recommend this tour for anyone ages 4 and up!

      Nice trip down the river on a raft. The guide was excellent spotting wildlife. We saw a sloth, howler monkeys, iguanas, toucans and a river crocodile.

      Danielle_S, Dec 2025
      We ended up scheduling incorrectly but the tour accommodated us and rescheduled result with a private tour! We say monkeys, birds, and iguanas. Our guide was kind and informative. This was easy with little walking for our kids (ages 5 and 7).

      Serene River Float and a Rare Owl Spotting

      Chase_C, Dec 2025
      My family and I had such a wonderful time! Our guide was Kay and he was full of energy and laughs and good info. We loved watching sunset turn to night as we drifted on the river in our raft. We saw a variety of birds, a lot of howler monkeys, bats hunting bugs, and even a rarely spotted owl! We were not lucky enough to see caiman or crocodiles, so next time we will try a daytime tour in case we might spot some sunning themselves. The snacks after boating were really delicious and we got to share them in such a sweet, welcoming place. We definitely recommend this tour, just make sure you can handle some bugs because once the sun went down, they came out. Thankfully, at this time of season we went, they were not biting kinds at least.

      Twilight Float Tour

      Todd_G, Nov 2025
      We had an amazing experience with our guide Bryan. He showed us sloths, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, kingfishers, anhingas, tiger herons, night herons, bats and iguanas among several other species of wildlife. We enjoyed fresh tropical fruit juice and baked desserts to close the tour. The guides were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!

      Wonderful experience!

      Vivian_D, Sep 2025
      We had a wonderful experience. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because it started raining 10 minutes into our trip. Other than that it was fantastic. Bela and Edward were very nice and helpful.

      easy ride

      Tomas_W, Jan 2025
      This was easy and peaceful float - something we needed as family. We some animals but there was nothing truly outstanding. We still enjoyed the experience and get some interesting information for the guide.

      Peaceful float in nature

      Heidi_G, Sep 2024
      This was such a fun special trip! The driver pulled off to the side of the road so we could get a picture of a sloth! We started our float and saw many different birds. We even saw howler monkeys! The snack at the end was so delicious! My husband and I highly recommend this excursion! Just bring bug spray.

      Surrounded by living nature!

      Douglas_G, Jul 2024
      The time on the river was really magical. We felt like the living nature of Costa Rica was all around us and enjoyed every bird, sloth and bat sighting. The guide was so invested in making sure we saw and understood everything.

      Great experience!

      Troy_P, May 2024
      Highly recommend this tour. We really enjoyed the relaxing boat tour. No mosquitoes! We saw a crocodile, howler monkeys, toucans, bats and other interesting creatures! The snacks were delicious! Don’t hesitate to book!
