“Chill and relaxing day - We came as a family of adults. Josue was at the front lobby right on time. He’s very attentive and knowledgeable. After seeing a bit of a language barrier, he made himself available to communicate for some of us. He’s willing to answer any questions you may have about the area. We easily felt comfortable throughout the ride, the stops, and at the beach. He showed us all the cool spots and gave us time to wander/even shop. It was very laid back and relaxing, Josue and his driver partner Haner (sorry for the spelling) were both very chill and easy going. It was a pura vida day at Costa Rica’s Pacific side, Jaco Beach.” - Reviewed on 2023-08-18

“A croc enthusiast’s dream! - If you’re looking to see crocs in the wild up close (and tons of other wildlife), this is the tour for you! Our guide, Jose, was excellent, always quick with both facts about the species and jokes that kept the tour fun and exciting. The crocodiles were incredible, with some able to be approached where our boat was within a few feet of them; and they were massive!! Bird-watchers will also love this tour, as we saw plenty of avian wildlife. Wish I could go on this tour again!” - Reviewed on 2025-03-10
