Great day out for rum and crocs!

Frank_M, Feb 2026

This was a great tour to get to see the country side away from the beach and it was interesting to see the sugar cane operations and the distillery. Our guide Memo was super knowledgeable about the area and had a great boat guide lined up for our ride on the Palo Verde. I don't know how they saw some of the birds and monkeys that they found for us, but they did. Saw a lot of crocs too! It was a great day out.

One of the best tours I’ve been on

David_H, Jan 2025

Going to be honest, this was probably one of the most enjoyable excursions I’ve ever been on. It started with a wonderful tour through a rural/farming part of Costa Rica where the guide provided us with a lot of great historical and agricultural information. Then we stopped at a local restaurant and were able to watch and try fresh made corn tortillas that were delicious! The boat tour was excellent. We were able to see over a dozen crocodiles, two species of monkeys, and many different types of birds. Lastly the rum tour was informative and fun, and we got to try some rum and got a free custom bottle for ourselves. But the best part of the tour were the guide Kevin and driver Memo (hope I spelled this correct). They were passionate, knowledgeable, and made every part of the tour fun. You can just tell how much they were enjoying their work. They went above and beyond what was expected and truly made the tour and amazing experience. They were both absolutely awesome. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn about the culture and history of Costa Rica while having an amazing fun time. I legitimately felt like I was hanging out with friends and not with tour guides. I believe people can make or break an experience and these two gentlemen made this tour awesome. Please do take the tour it will be worth every penny!

Great Experience

We were lucky enough to have a private tour and Roberto made the experience amazing. He is a wealth of knowledge and a fun tour guide.

Disappointing

MaryChristine_Z, May 2022

Facilities were beautiful and Robert very knowledgeable. For the cost expected more than tasting 1 rum. Also tour states custom bottle included but actually had to pay $25 each.
