City Tour with Fiorella - Thanks to our guide, Fiorella Murillo, we were able to explore hidden and authentic corners of Costa Rica that we would not have otherwise discovered. Their knowledge of the local flora and fauna, as well as the history and culture of the region, greatly enriched our experience.
Additionally, your kindness and willingness to answer our questions and provide recommendations were greatly appreciated. We felt safe and well cared for at all times, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every moment of our trip.
I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching experience in this beautiful region.

An unforgettable and knowledgeable tour with awesome local tour guides. - An incredible and unforgettable hike through Cahuita National Park and ride on the Tortuguero Canal with the most knowledgeable guide, namely, Ms. Sinclair, and the most patient driver, Alex. Ms. Sinclair was able to let us see all sorts of animals and plants because she could spot them. We saw sloths with babies, herons, caymans, etc. thanks to her knowledge. The driver, Alex, was also excellent and patient. He stopped us at the Limon Cathedral so we could take pictures inside and then stopped us on our way back at Playa Bonita so that “Rich,” that is Ms. Sinclair could take pictures of us at the beach and stop at a hotel restaurant to have some typical Caribbean smoothies. Both should be promoted.

An experience to be repeated to continue to marvel - Walk between nature and the beach. Encountered many specimens of many species of animals.
The monkeys entertained us with their funny poses and the sea was splendid!

A Very Enjoyable and Memorable Tour - The travel agent (SyL Travel) is conveniently located right in the port, 3 minutes walk away from our cruise ship. This is our first visit to both destinations. We experienced rich biodiversity, unique plants and animals and changeable whether of the country during our tour. Risheyin (guide) and Hubeth (driver) did an excellent job to make our tour a very enjoyable and memorable one. We would highly recommend this tour and SyL Travel.

Private Tour from Puerto Limon (Book SyL Travel!) - Five stars! Booked a private tour for my family and we had a great time with our guide, Sergio--he was waiting for us at the pier when we got off the ship and we quickly got on our way. First stop was the Tortuguero Canals and we really enjoyed the private boat ride and saw a lot of wildlife. We made a quick stop at a plantation before heading to Cahuita National Park and enjoyed a wonderful walk and time at the beach.
Booking over email with Enrique was quick and easy. Sergio and our driver were fantastic and the van was very comfortable. Great value as well--private tour allowed us to control how long we spent at each spot and when we got back to the ship. Highly recommend SyL Travel!

Best Time EVER! - We had an AMAZING DAY on a boat ride at Tartuguera Canal and in Cahuita national park with our awesome tour guide Risheilyn and driver Gigi. They made sure that we got to see many animals. They were very friendly and informative. We got to taste local fruit. Our tour guide took beautiful pictures for us. We had to get back on the ship early and they made sure that we got back in time. If you love the jungle, animals, exploring and having fun, this excursion is for you! This was a great tour, I would definitely do it again!
