So glad we did this tour! - We saw so many animals we'd wanted to see and the boat ride was something different to do. Really neat way to see the area. The walk through the park was steamy and a little steep at times, but my out-of-shape self did it. Take from that what you will. Breakfast was plenty good and lunch was super yummy! My step-daughter who is going to school in Costa Rica said this was the best excursion she'd been on.

Most accommodating tour company ever - Destiny Travel was able to get my husband, adult daughter, & I into this tour at the last minute after another company canceled on us the night before due to "weather conditions". We had fabulous weather & on the long very FULL day tour we saw a sloth, spiders, spider/capuchin monkeys, toucans, egrets, herons, alligators/caimans, lots of butterflies & after many steps where the canals meet the Caribbean sea. Our driver was fantastic & our guide Arturo was amazing! He shared a lot about the area including growing crops like bananas & sugar cane, explained why the rivers were yellow, & he had a great sense of humor too.
