Wonderful Tour - This was the best wildlife viewing tour I have been in. We saw so many monkeys, birds and even a sloth. Mikhail and Gonzalo were the best guides. Highly recommend.

A fun tour with lots of content - We loved this experience.
We were taken into the mangroves by "Crazy Alex" he is a very entertaining guide but also very knowlegeable and was able to point out a lot of animals and birds - he is also very good a bird and monkey calls. He even called the monkeys to the boat and they seemed pleased to see him and we were certainly pleased to see them.
Others on here have criticised this practice, but I can't see the home, Capuchins in Costa Rica interact with people all the time - at our hotel they regularly mounted raids to steal sugar sachets and biscuits - if we never show up they'd be fine, when we do they are happy to get some easy food.
Anyway, it's a fun tour and you will see a lot, the mangroves themselves are stunning.

Amazing tour with Steve Tours!!! - It was an amazing tour!!!! The guide was very knowledgable and shared lots of interesting information about the tour. We saw plenty of animals like the white faced monkey, different species of lizards, boa constrictor snakes, tucans, and my favorite, are the sloths!!! Such an amazing tour. I highly recommend along with the Manuel Antonio Park Tour. These two tours are a must things to do when in Manuel Antonio! I highly recommend Steve Tours!!!

Perfect experience for nature lovers! - I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to find peace and quiet in nature, away from civilization. 🌿 The diversity and adaptability of the different mangrove species was particularly fascinating. We learned that there are red, black, and white mangroves—each with its own unique characteristics and functions within the ecosystem. Our guide also picked the different fruits for us and showed us how monkeys open and eat them, for example. The wildlife in the mangroves was also fascinating. We were able to observe birds, crabs, small reptiles, and monkeys in their natural habitat. The monkeys even jumped onto our boat and wanted to see us up close—a real experience for nature lovers and animal enthusiasts!

Rich spectacle - We are very happy that we took part in this boat ride. We saw a lot of animals - lizards, iguanas, crocodiles, monkeys that interacted with us, a sloth, 3 snakes, fish, birds, just a great experience.
The cruise itself through the mangroves is absolutely scenic and relaxing.
Our guide was fine, funny, knowledgeable.
Although the attraction cost a lot of money, we don't regret it, it was money well spent.
Costa Rican nature is just a treasure.
Thank you.
