Very Enjoyable - Geriold was great and very informative. The monkeys were so friendly and we loved seeing the mommas with their babies. We took the Crocodile boat trip which we highly recommend since we were in the vicinity. Saw lots of crocodiles and birds. We finally got to see a pair of Macaws which was my highlight . Geriold even tried to view some howling monkeys in a tree for us. The lunch was delicious and plentiful. I even got to take some home for my dinner since there was so much. Would highly recommend this tour with Geriold. So glad we took it.

Spiritual experience - Wow words cannot express how wonderful this tour was! The monkeys were so precious. I became overwhelmed with emotion and cried for about 10 minutes.. pretty sure that’s because I was a monkey and a past life. Gerold and his driver did a wonderful job! They were very kind and informative. The breakfast and beers were wonderful!! I highly recommend! Thank you , Gerold!

Amazing tour if you want to see monkeys, sloths, and crocodiles - Geriold was an excellent guide! We saw monkeys, sloths, and crocodiles. Lunch was delicious and Geriold was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and all things Costa Rica. Highly recommend and would do again the next time we visit!

Great experience!!! - We had a great tour with Geriold visiting the monkeys, crocodile bridge and beach. He made sure every detail was taken care of and was very knowledgeable. When we visited the monkeys, he educated our kids on how to be around the monkeys to keep them safe and they had an awesome experience with them. When another tour group showed up after us, their tour guide did not have the same method and the monkeys became very wound up quickly and it didn’t seem like they were having nearly as good (or safe) of an experience. The trips to the crocodile bridge and beach were great as well. We saw a sloth with a baby, more monkeys, a makaws. I highly recommend this tour with Geriold if you’re looking for an excursion while in Jaco!

The best guide - This tour was so great! Just as described in the information and very organized. Geirold was extremely knowledgable about the animals and set a tone of respect and care. He clearly cares deeply about helping and welcoming the guest to Costa Rica. We had a blast and will always book his tours. Thank you !!!!

Highly recommend! - Definitely recommend this trip! Observing the monkeys in their natural environment was incredible. Our guides, Geriold and Jose, were awesome and we learned so much about the animals. I could have sat and watched them all day. The crocodile bridge was also interesting and we had a wonderful lunch. And we felt very lucky to have seen a sloth. Geriold searched very hard to find one of these elusive creatures. Overall a great day!

AMAZING MONKEY visit, dragged on with other parts - AMAZING visit to the Monkey house where we got to interact with the monkeys, they even jumped on us - both on their own and to get fruit from us. A highlight for sure. But after that portion, the tour dragged a bit with a less interesting view of crocodiles, a long lunch and a strike out finding sloths (not surprising given they are nocturnal) A really pretty beach stop in Jaco beach at the end.

Monkeys are cool but tour lacking - The monkeys were fun but it was not a natural habitat, seemed like a family’s backyard that was in very bad disrepair. Lot of trash, broken down, filthy. Toilet was worse than any gas station bathroom I’ve been to. The crocodiles were interesting, lunch was delish and plentiful. We didn’t see any sloths, which was expected, but the beach was lovely. No place to change though, so if you want to swim I recommend wearing your suit and expecting to ride back to final destination wet (very short ride).
