Monkey and Sloths - Our guide was wonderful. He was sure we understood that the monkeys could be dangerous if you interacted with them in appropriately and was careful to give us good instructions on proper behavior. Frankly, it is a little scary having all the monkeys, but as long as you behaved and didn’t do anything inappropriate, it was a great experience. We had a little beach time with chairs and drinks, which was a nice break.

Wonderful experience - It was such a fun morning! The monkeys were amazing, we saw two sloths, one of them right above our heads, we saw crocodiles and they even stopped at some point on the rod so we could see some howler monkeys! The food was super fresh and delicious!

Great experience especially for children - We experienced and fed the monkeys in two places, and we could also see a sloth up close. Due to a construction site, the Crocodile Bridge is closed and visibility is not possible. Our guide was very attentive and friendly.

Monkeys were the best! - Monkeys were awesome but after that, it didn’t really deliver. Guide was great but we barely saw a croc that was small and underwater and a sloth that looked like a dark spot high up in a tree. They were working on the road so we had to wait in traffic. We spent a lot of time driving for little reward but that’s nature, I guess. We weren’t able to go on the boat ride to see the crocs bc we got back close to 2 and they leave at 12:30/1. I was disappointed bc we made the 3 hour drive from Guanacaste mainly to see them and then we had to drive3 hours back right after the tour.
