Additional Information

We will visit the sanctuary of the white-faced capuchin monkeys, the most intelligent species of monkeys in the new world. Our visit will be safe and informative for everyone, from children to adults. We’ll learn about their family organization, alphas, and betas, and how to calculate their age. During these tours people are not allowed to touch the animals, but animals if they feel comfortable allowed to touch people. They are still wild animals and we are not violating their habitat. We don’t allowed to feed them as well. We’ll then see the crocodiles of Rio Grande de Tarcoles and enjoy the local souvenir sale and a buffet-style restaurant.

Go play with the monkeys! - Our family had a blast playing with the monkeys. They jumped on our heads and jumped from person to person. One stayed on my sons head for a good 10 minutes. We took a bus about an hour north of Jaco to see the monkeys, then drove back towards Jaco to see the river with the crocs, then to the beach to see 2 sloths. Guides knew where to go to see the animals. Lunch was also provided. Overall a good experience and we made lots of new memories.

Amazing day with monkeys and crocs! - This was a fabulous tour and Geriold was an amazing guide. He is so knowledgeable about the area and we all truly enjoyed spending the day with him and learning more about Costa Rica. I recommend booking a morning tour so that you can play with the monkeys early.

Jaco's Best Tour Option - We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Monkey, Crocodile, Sloths & Beach Experience tour in Costa Rica! Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about showcasing the beauty of Costa Rica's wildlife and landscapes. From spotting playful monkeys and lazy sloths to observing crocodiles in their natural habitat, every moment was filled with excitement and educational insights. What stood out most was the guide's dedication to ensuring we had a memorable day. They went above and beyond to accommodate our group, offering interesting facts about the wildlife and stopping at picturesque spots for photos. The snacks provided were tasty and well-timed, and the lunch served was both delicious and satisfying, making sure we were energized for the entire tour. We highly recommend this tour, especially opting for the morning session as it allows for cooler temperatures and often better wildlife viewing opportunities. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply looking to explore Costa Rica's rich biodiversity, this tour offers an unforgettable experience that's well worth it!

Great Time - This was quite possibly the best decision we made was to take the excursion. Geirold was excellent and went out of his was to make sure we had a good time. If you are going to take an excursion this is the one.

Amazing guide and perfect tour - Our guide was amazing and this has been the highlight of our trip. The tour would have been worth it for the monkey sanctuary alone but our guide also took us to see sloths and crocodiles as well and taught us about them. The hidden beach was also a gem and a great way to close out the tour. My girlfriend and I have been talking about the monkeys all day since we saw them and I am so glad that we found this tour.

Magnificent! MUST DO! - Our guide was FANTASTIC! This tour is so special! Me and my boyfriend cannot stop talking about how much we loved it and how much we learned. Having the private experience with the guide allowed us to have intimate animal encounters and ask as many questions as we desired. The secret beach and monkey sanctuary (stops 2 and 4) were our favorite! The food along the way was delicious and everything felt worth the price, if not much, much, more! We had our own vehicle but it added some thrills to the experience. Our trip took a little over 4 hours including all the stop and driving to our destinations. Very, very scenic drive and many photo opportunities. It is clear this company cares greatly for the animals and the environment. It cannot be overstated how great this experience was! If you’re in Jaco or Herradura or anywhere near this area, PLEASE TAKE THIS TOUR!

The monkeys came down and... - The monkeys came down and eat the bananas that my daughter had. The alpha sat on shoulders a couple of times.
