Great time with family!

Awesome animal experiences! Great guide a good meal afterwards in a nice restaurant. The boat driver was nice as well and they helped you get close to the wildlife for nice pictures!! Awesome time- definitely would recommend. The only complaint would be the restrooms at the place where you get on the boat. There’s trash and things all over the place. Would recommend the owners upkeep the bathrooms better.

Laid back, fun tour.

This was a very interesting and fun tour. Our tour guide was super informative. The meal included was off site, and delicious! We did wait awhile at the boat launch, as we chose to not be picked up. The people there were very friendly, got us waters while we waited. After being in Costa Rica for the week we realized it much more laid back than we are used too! BUT a pleasure to not feel rushed. Enjoy it!

Boat ride

The guide was very good, as was the guy who drove the boat; we were able to see a baby crocodile, some white-faced monkeys, little birds, and more. I was left wanting to see big crocodiles and some other animals, but oh well.
