Fabulous hike through the fantastic park - We took the private tour through the national park today and enjoyed it very much. Guide Tony was very informative over both animals and plants, had a nice humor and succeeded in spotting almost all the species we wanted to see!

The best tour in Costa Rica - Monkeys, crocodiles, macaws, birds, phenomenal food and excellent guides made this tour memorable and and extreme value for the money. Marco, Christian and Yiyi were so much fun, full of great information and made our private tour experience feel one of a kind. They were truly wonderful and we will be recommending them to anyone visiting Costa Rica in Puntarenas and Limon.

Fun in the Sun - Luis and Marvin were an excellent tour guide and driver. Marvin enjoyed the monkeys and parrots as much as we did that day. It was beautiful to see the scarlet macaws flying as pairs through the sky and they are very noisy. As for the crocodiles we saw, wow, you just don’t realize how big they are until you get up close. The guide on the tour boat was very well informed about the birds and plants growing in this area. We both felt safe at each site visited. Luis shared some local culture with us and talked about the annual fruit festival. Overall a great adventure.

We saw more crocodiles... - We saw more crocodiles than I expected...one even made a full circle near the boat for us! I would have appreciated it if our guide (Luis) had warned me that the monkeys at the Monkey House would be jumping onto me before he led me into their area. Luckily, I like monkeys but this would have been a terrifying experience had I been afraid of them. I felt badly that our driver had to drive some distance to reach us when there were only two of us on the tour. Both he (Willy) and Luis were very good about helping my husband get in and out of the van.
