Puerto Limon River Cruise and City Tour - Were a few drawbacks as the van's air-conditioning was not up to the job and some stops not that interesting. But Risheylin our young guide did a great job and made up for any deficiencies (thus the 5 stars). She was very knowledgeable and did her best to accommodated everyone.

Great Experience - Great local Guide - wonderful, relaxed excursion. Highly recommend. So much information about the wonderful country of Costa Rica and its people, ecology, and natural beauty. Definitely ‘Pura Vida’!

Canal and Banana plantation tour - Hector was awesome! We had an amazing time with him. Definitely recommend. Ask for him by name! Can’t recommend him enough!

1/23/23 - We had such a great time on the tour! It was lower in cost and they spent all day showing us the best spots in Costa Rica

Outstanding Tour in Costa Rica - Outstanding tour. Vanessa met our party of six at Port Limon. Vanessa also had a driver so she was able to give us her undivided attention. We departed immediately for Tortuguero Canals. Upon arrival we boarded a boat. It was so much fun. We saw monkeys, sloths, and all kinds of birds. The boat driver was extremely knowledgeable about the animals. Next we stopped at a banana plantation and Vanessa explained to us how bananas grew and the exportation process from Costa Rica to other countries. We then went to a fruit stand and tasted the best fruit I ever had. I'll go back to Costa Rica just for the fruit. A little girl approached us and wanted to give us a butterfly tour. So we went. Amazing. The butterflies were beautiful and some of them actually landed on us. We then went to a gift shop and sampled rum and coffee and purchased souvenirs. Our last stop was at a restaurant with a gorgeous view of the beach. It was a fantastic day!

Wonderful excursion with wheelchair - This was a fantastic cruise excursion with our tour guide Enrique. He was very knowledgeable and wise beyond his years! The canal ride was incredible: cayman, sloths, howler monkeys, and numerous birds. Both Enrique and our driver went above and beyond to help with the wheelchair. The fruit stop was delicious - the best pineapple I have ever eaten.

Very good experience from the day of the booking to the day of the excursion - We booked the excursion online and as promised, a SYL representative was waiting for us at the exit of the ship with a sign indicating our name. We were immediately taken care of by the representative and a guide was assigned to us, no waiting. We took a tour of the city and then an excursion on the canal, unfortunately we did not see much but the ride was pleasant. Our guide Kandry was very pleasant and very knowledgeable, his English was very understandable and he showed us more than expected. We recommend SYL for all excursions to Costa Rica, very professional and reliable tour operator.

Easy and Relaxed Tour - The tour guide was great and tried so hard to see animals that we could view. Unfortunately, there was not much to see .....but we had a nice afternoon. Everything was very organized....A pleasant outing.

Enjoyed being outside.. - My parents and I did something pretty similar to this tour..but it was not the exact tour that is, as described on the website. Our family did experience being out on the narrow canal in Costa Rica. The same gentleman that did the tour guide on the tour bus, he continued his commentary in the passenger boat. The part of this tour that I admired and enjoyed the most was seeing the animals in their own habitat. What I didn’t like the most about the type of tour I experienced was spending a bit too much wasted time finding the animals. Now it’s one thing to see the animals and admire them, it’s another to stay in 1 spot for a good 20 minutes!! That bothered me/ got to me the most. Like what’s the point in being out on the canal if your just gonna float and allowing everyone on the boat to see the animals from a distance?! In the US, we have zoo’s…but obviously not in a country like CR. We spent a bit too much time really enjoying the animals that the captain of the boat zoomed the passengers back to the loading and unloading area. Like he went full throttle!! That I liked but didn’t like that our time was wasted…all due to seeing the animals and allowing everyone to see them. That bothered the most. I personally would not consider this tour in the near future to others. Doesn’t matter if someone is a first timer, a repeat customer or not. Would rather experienced tree top zip lines, a waterfall tour etc.

Wonderful port day - We stopped in Limon for a stop on our cruise. After reading all the reviews I decided I had to book with Syltravel for our tour. We had Enrique and he was wonderful. We saw Limon, did the canal tour, (though it said 1hour we only got 30 mins), visited Playa Bonita, saw the banana farm and tried some amazing treats! I would recommend Syltravel to anyone who is looking for a day tour of Limon. Thank you to Enrique, you were a fabulous guide and we really enjoyed our day with you. The only disappointment would be that we didn't get the whole 1hr boat tour on the canal, though the couple doing the canal tour were super funny, kept us laughing!
