Best guides in La Fortuna - We had an exceptionally engaging and knowledgeable crew for this tour. They were professional, friendly, funny, and on point at every moment. The boat tour was great and we saw a lot of birds and caiman (+ babies) and monkeys. We did spend a little more time on one bird than most of the boat wanted, but it was clear the guides were pretty excited. The food at lunch was great, and the “surprise“ sugar, cane, coffee and chocolate experience was really fun for all. This was the first tour we did on our trip, and we were lucky enough to have an equally engaging guide from the same company for another tour at Mistico. By the end of our 12-day trip, we agreed that while we had great guidance throughout, the ones from this company were absolutely the best.

A memorable riverboat safari - Our tour guide, Abner, made this trip on the Rio Frio a memorable experience. He was both knowledgeable and funny. Our trip started out in the pouring rain but ended up sunny. Be sure to bring raingear! We saw lots of wildlife, including tiger herons, woodstocks, caimans, iguanas, king fishers, howler monkeys, anhinga, capuchin monkeys, yellow crowned herons, sloths red hooded parrots, spider monkeys, bats and other dreatures.

AMAZING TOUR & GUIDE WITH DELICIOUS FOOD!!! - Both the driver, Jorge, and the tour guide Fauricio we’re excellent as well as very knowledgeable in showing us all of the wildlife. They spotted very well hidden wildlife, we got to see various Costa Rican monkeys that are specific to Costa Rica! We also saw sloths, very unique bird life, and many lizards which were very cool! Also, the lunch provided was fresh and very delicious! I would highly recommend people choosing this tour with Canoa Adventura they were simply amazing. It was a truly wonderful experience!

We saw a Jaguar in the wild!! And orange howler monkeys Amazing view of nature and lots of animals lizards and cayman - George was an amazing tour guide. Not only did we see a troupe of howler monkeys, he took us on shore and we walked to get a close up view of two 100% orange howler monkeys. Then we saw capuchin monkeys cayman iguanas and other lizards and to top it all off we saw a Jaguar in the wild! It was truly a lifelong memory that we will always cherish.

Adventure Costa Rica - Had an amazing trip along the river by canoe with our tour guild Mario! He was hilarious and so well educated about his country and loved sharing with us. We saw loads of different lizards , iguanas , speckled caimans and birds. Was an extremely hot day on the river definitely recommend sunscreen and light clothing. Our guild provided water and a simple lunch for us. Was a beautiful way to experience a Costa Rica river and wetland. Thanks Mario and Horhay!

What a disaster. TripAdvisor - Viatore - local supplier. I don't recommend it. - Unfortunately, the description which can be found on TripAdvisor does not mention that this 8 hour tour starts in La Fortuna. This fakes that this activity is a longer canoe tour. In reality, that's how it is from those 8 hours min. 5 hours with the arrival and return journey on the bus and the canoe tour is correspondingly short as there is also a lunch. In addition, we received various information regarding the pickup from the hotel, this one was with us in Cano Negro....we thought it was a long canoe tour. Also very unfortunate is the situation that TripAdvisor - Viatore - and the local provider is involved in the whole thing. From each of the 3 you get information which is not matched. Never again. Better book on the spot.
