A visit to Eastern Costa Rica - We were met just outside the cruise port entrance and driven around downtown with explanations and descriptions of what we were seeing. Then we were taken to a river where we boated down finding sloths, a variety of birds, a crocodile, and iguanas. Next we went to a market that sold Costa Rican products. The guide also discussed the native plants found by the market. From the market we traveled to the Cahata National Park, Costa Rica's oldest National Park. We walked a trail in the park paralleling the beach. If someone had wanted to go into the water, that may have been a possibility. We again looked for animal life. Due to intermittent rain showers, many of the animals seemed to have gone into hiding. The guide really wanted to find monkeys, but was not successful. We did find birds, sloths, and iguanas though. Even though no monkeys were seen, it was a pleasant hike through the park until we reached a beach with an inlet not easily crossed. We headed back to the port at this point. All in all a pleasant time spent in Eastern Costa Rica.

EXCELLENT! - We did a small group tour by mini-bus to Cahuita National Park and a boat tour along the canals back near Limon. Roxanna was our tour guide. She was so friendly and full of information that made our day extra enjoyable. We even got to meet Frederico, the owner. He is a man of his word and delivered the full package! Along the route to the National Park we stopped along the road to take pictures of sloths and monkeys, a flamingo, to shop for trinkets and snacks, and use the restroom. At the Park we walked part of the path before turning around, but saw so many sloths and monkeys that we were in awe. We also saw snakes and a raccoon. Along the path we were able to stop at the beach for a break and take some of the most amazing pictures of our entire trip. After the Park, we stopped at a grocery store to check it out and buy anything we needed or wanted and stopped at a spot along the road where there was a banana plantation so Roxanna could give us some insight into the local economy, growing, harvesting, and exporting/shipping. The canal boat trip also produced quite a bit of wildlife, again monkeys, sloths, caiman, snakes, many different bird species, and other reptiles. They boat driver sped along on the way back which was cool breezes and appreciated after a long day of sun and heat. We were back to the ship in plenty of time! No worries!

Brilliant - Full day tour from our cruise ship. Picked up for our 6-7 hours day excursion. Our guide was great, full of information as we headed to a canal and saw lots of wildlife, then a fruit stand where we bought pastries and tried a small banana. The main highlight ended at cahuita national park where we saw sloths and monkeys in the trees and skunks running about where we then walked back on the beach followed by drinking a nice cool beer at the bar ending a great day for $95 per person.

A unique experience and the most beautiful day of cruising! - We did a tour with Relax Day Tours on February 12th, 2024.
From the time we were picked up to the time we returned to the ship, it was a really great time! Chris made the trip our best day of the cruise. We heard a lot of interesting things and were given information about the island and life in Costa Rica. The route was followed as indicated. At each point we had enough time to look around and take photos.
Chris even showed us his private garden, including the flora and fauna.
We were also provided with fresh fruit and drinks.
Everything was perfect from A to Z!
We can only recommend this tour to everyone!
Many greetings and a big thank you to Chris!

Puerto Limon full day tour - What can I say… from the beginning of the booking to the execution of the tour everything was more than perfect. Chris took a lot of time to show everything that was possible that day.
The tour took place in a small group (18 people). Since all the previous excursions had been more mass than great, it was very pleasant to be out and about in this group size. Everything went off without any hassle.
Thank you for this wonderful day with all the insights we were able to gain 😊🙏🏼

Exceeded expectations! - This was a great excursion for us! We saw tons of wildlife everywhere we went. Our guise, JC was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about all of the wildlife, from fauna to birds to mammals. He gave us lots of information about Costa Rica as well. This excursion exceeded our expectations.

Lovely day despite a hiccup - Resourceful guides, variety in tour, small group, enjoyed the boat tour and the walk in Cahuita Nationalb Park by the sea. The highlights were seeing the variety of animals ( especially sloths and white-faced monkeys) and having a swim in the ocean. The reason I am not giving it a 5 star is because we were told, when we arrived at the pick up spot right on time 8 am, that the van had left without us 45 min earlier.. We were not pleased, to say the least, as the tour was supposed to be from 8 am to 6 pm. However, we were able to catch up the van at its first stop. So the company made ip for it and the rest of the day was very pleasant. Btw, we were back by 3pm.
