Great excursion - We had a fabulous time on this tour. Larry was a great guide, and Jorge drove us around (and spotted sloths and monkeys) safely. We really felt like we saw the authentic Costa Rica on this small group tour. I would recommend this over any ship sponsored excursion.

Amazing experience in Costa Rica! - This was an awesome excursion. Communication prior to the experience was prompt and clear. The activity exceeded my expectations! Our tour guide was Larry and our driver was Eric. Larry is so knowledgeable about the Port Limon area. I wasn't expecting this to be a "learning" experience in regard to history and culture of the area, so I was pleasantly surprised! We saw quite a bit of wildlife throughout the tour. Eric must have very good eyesight as he spotted several animals in the trees during the drive. Larry is one of, if not the best, tour guides I have ever had for a tour/excursion. If we could give it more than 5 stars, we would!

Highly recommend! - Absolutely fantastic tour! Larry was an exceptional guide and Eric was a great driver. We had an awesome time learning about Costa Rica while also enjoying the local bananas, Coco loco drinks, beach, and boat ride. It was so cool to see the monkeys, sloths, lizards, birds, and crocodiles!

Great excursion - Great experience. Air conditioned bus with small group. Natalie (our tour guide) was so knowledgeable about everything. We seen sloths, boconstrictor and monkeys in the trees on the boat ride. The banana plantation was great! She knew about everything and answered so many questions. Was rainy day but e still stopped at beach for pics etc. They Odette go anywhere else since want good beach weather that day. Took us to unique souvenir shops. Just can't say enough about how wonderful she made this trip. Thank you Natalie! The drive was great also. Very good driver.

Crazy Larry Limon - So we had Crazy Larry as our guide and our van had 19 total people. Larry was very funny. He was Creole Limonese, told us wonderful historical facts about Limon, we tried great food, laughed a lot and just had a great time. It was absolutely worth the time and money .

I think the boat ride... - I think the boat ride through the canal was the highlight of the excursion as different wildlife was spotted for the guests to see. Sloughs and a boa constrictor and monkeys was a good view. Larry, our guide, was fabulous and his knowledge and energy was what made the excursion successful.

Bad day on the canal - Transportation was awful. The guide, Cooper, was knowledgeable. Boat ride was really a joke. The boat was so uncomfortable my legs fell asleep.
