Crocs and Caffeine

William_R, Jun 2023
Thanks to our boat driver and our guide Franko The Jungle River Cruise was so cool!! I nicknamed our boat driver Eagle Eyes. He would spot animals for us and then he and Franko would point them out so we could snap photos: crocodiles, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, and long nosed bats! Great experience!! Dennis, the coffee taster at Diria coffee gave a fantastic tour!! My wife and I have such a better appreciation for coffee now. Theres so much that goes into bringing you your daily Cup of Joe that we never knew. Definitely recommend the coffee tour for any caffeine addict!

Great experience on the jungle cruise

We had a wonderful time on the jungle cruise. We saw more than 30 crocodiles, white face monkeys up close and a ton of birds. The kids even got to drive the boat. The coffee tour was also good to see the full process from fruit to cup of coffee.

Nature tour was fun. The river is full of crocodiles. But the highlight was absolutely the coffee tour.

Tour guide Alexander was fantastic, along with the driver. We had like our own private tour. Saw lots of wildlife, and went to an authentic Costa Rican place to eat that was very nice. Afterwards went to a coffee plantation that was also amazing and informative. We learned a lot and had a great time, highly recommend!

The trip was great, one we would...

The trip was great, one we would recommend . Our guide Ray was very informative and accommodating. Made great animal noises too . The trip down the Palo Verde was awesome lots of birds, bats, crocks, and Capuchin monkeys, with again a very knowledgeable guide. The coffee tour was very informative and fun, learned more about coffee there then our tour in Hawaii.
