Crocs and Caffeine - 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.

Palo Verde & Coffee Tour - My wife and I had our first visit to Costa Rica in January. This tour gave us an opportunity to see a beautiful Park and tour a coffee plantation. The trip was outstanding. The Park tour include a river tour where we saw amazing flora and fuana. The tour also included an authentic lunch that was fabulous. After lunch it was off to the coffee tour. It was more than we expected. We found out the complexity of growing and processing coffee.Our coffee tour guide Dennis was excellent. All in all a great day. We also had an excellent driver and tour from TAM , Carlos and Roberto.

Great tour - We had TAM tour groups and our guide was Ciro, he was on the bus with us and gave us info all the way to the National Park, it was great. Also not sure who the boat driver was but he was great, he went a different way on the river than a lot of the other boats and we seen tons of wildlife, lots of different birds (they did tell us what they were) an ant eater, bunch of crocs. , bats, white face monkeys. Loved this tour, after that we went to eat lunch, then went on the coffee tour that also was very interesting. They didn't have coffee fields right now they are resting the ground. But was very cool to see the process. Also they sold coffee (very inexpensive $3) also some of their few souviours where also very inexpensive. Was a great day. Was long but good.
