Getting to our tour guide was off to a rough start. Greenway Nature Day Tours showed that our tour was cancelled yet i had tickets and had paid almost $2K for the tour. From the start the person i communicated with was not interested in our tour because we wanted to stop at the Sloth Sanctuary on our tour. He finally agreed and then we show up and it showed we were cancelled. Unhappy and we wasted time trying to deal with this situation. Natalie, who it looked like was controlling the tours, stepped in an gave her assistance and arranged for the tour to happen. Without her, i feel l confident we would not have had a tour.
Luigi stepped up and took over the tour guide role. We had a nice van for the tour. He drove us through the city calling out points of interest. Our first stop was Cahuita National Park. We walked down the path seeing foliage, trees and wildlife with the beach alongside the park. We saw sloths and monkeys in the trees and other critters i did not care to look at! It did not cost anything to go in the park but they wanted a small donation at the entrance, not a big deal.
We stopped for some snacks and a drink at a local bar/restaurant. Then we headed to the Sloth Sanctuary, which is the highlight of the trip, in my opinion. We were scheduled to take this trip 5 years ago but Covid hit and we couldn't do the trip. We were so disappointed but now we were making it happen.
The Sanctuary was very interesting. They have 130 sloths housed there. We saw about a dozen. These poor sloths all were abandoned for some reason and they take them in. Some were missing a limb, were blind, deserted by their Mother and it goes on and on. The guide was amazing with his knowledge and explanations for any question we raised. We were there for an hour They fed them while we were there and that was fun to watch them eat. The time flew by and it was worth every penny we paid for that visit.
We then took a canal ride and saw more creatures in the wild. The boat guide and the captain of the boat were able to pick out the many animals in the trees. It was enjoyable.
Luigi was a super nice guy and willingly took the tour on. We are not sure he does that for a living but he sure did a good job for us. I have to admit that the start of the day left a sour note with me as I knew that original guide was not happy to help us with going to the Sloth Sanctuary. I doubt we would have enjoyed the tour near as much it we had not gone there.

Thank you for your review and we are very sorry about the inconvenience. The situation was that we mixed up (by mistake) your reservation and this causes the trouble. However, since you did the reservation, we include the sloths sanctuary as part of the tour and we were very clear the entrance fee will be on your own. We never rejected to include it as part of the tour. Once you showed up at the pier and spoke with our guide, we move forward inmediately and we resolved the situation and we were able to provide a nice transportation and a good tour guide. This inconvenience was resolved in less than 5 minutes. Good to read that at the end you enjoy the tour with Luigi.

We had a great time seeing the sites in and around Limon. Our guide Pablo was fantastic and provided us with wonderful information about Costa Rica. We got to see the rainforest, learn about the city of Limon, how bananas are exported and took a river boat tour where we saw monkeys and sloths. What a special day with a special guide. Outstanding tour!

It was a terrible very expensive trip. Nothing to see for £600 for four people. The nature walk was a crowded path- lasted half an hour. And the boat trip was a joke. Shred nor private. We moved a very short distance with a crowd of other people.

Hello
Our regular tour is only $125 and in our private tour we offer a high quality service with a professional guide. The national park is a public area and we can not have control of the visitation on a particular day. The boat tour is a shared experience as it is listed in the tour description. Our boats for 30 people can not operate with only 2 passengers. This is listed in the tour description as well.

What an amazing day in Costa Rica with Nathalie, our guide. She was very knowledeable and accommodating. We highly recommend this private tour!

Our guide was very helpful and had an excellent knowledge of the area. The boat ride was enjoyable and we got to see a wonderful assortment of animals. We also enjoyed the banana and cacao plantation. A truly enjoyable experience.

This tour will definitely fill your day with adventure! If you like seeing Costa Rican wildlife, being in nature and learning about the country you are in the right place! The walk through the park was packed with wildlife, the cruise was just long enough to give you a glimpse of anything you may have missed while at the park without losing your attention. All followed by a trip to a banana farm that had a great souvenir shop and you even got to taste a banana before you left and they are a delight! The city drive and the in depth knowledge of the country our guide possessed put the cherry on top! Carlos our guide and our driver Hector, made my dreams come true when they found me a sloth with a baby in tow!!! How exciting! Hector was also the best at pointing out great picture spots and capturing great memories to keep and cherish of me and my family. This was well worth the money 10/10 - 5 stars!
