      This excursion ended up being replaced with the Sloth sanctuary and Rio Celeste tour do to not many people booking the other. Jose, our guide was fantastic! The views of the Sloths were great. Rio Celeste was fantastic!

      Not exactly what we expected but overall good

      This excursion consisted of a Safari boat ride in the Palo Verde national park followed by a Casado lunch at Los Coyotes. Pick up from our hotel was provided and it was a long drive. When we got to the boat, the actual operator of the boat (who was not the tour guide who picked us up) pointed out numerous wildlife including various birds, monkeys and of course crocodiles. There was not a lot of narration about the area (as he spoke Spanish only) but he did try to point out as much as he could in the short time we had. Lunch was a Chicken Casado served family style at Los Coyotes - it was very good. The biggest pitfall of the tour is that in the original itinerary they include a trip to a waterfall, and even on the reminder email the day before, they list what to bring and it includes swim suit and towel; however, after lunch the tour ended. When we asked about the waterfall, the tour guide said that the waterfall was not only very far away but was closed. The tour operator did end up refunding us some money ( which was paid promptly in cash and left at our hotel ) and I believe this part of the itinerary is no longer included in the description. Otherwise this is a good way to see crocodiles and other wildlife but coming from Playa Conchal , this definitely took up a big part of the day

      A Real Life Jungle Cruise

      Alan was a GREAT guide. He was so knowledgeable. We had an amazing boat captain who could spot the tiniest things from far away. We learned a lot on this tour. We saw capuchin monkeys, basilisk lizards, bats, lots of birds and even a crocodile fight. There were other companies doing this tour too but our guide was far more attentive than any of the other companies. We also went to a great place for a traditional meal. Our entire family ages 4- adult were engaged on this trip.
