Memorable Wildlife and Local Cuisine at Great Value - We saw a great mix of animals that the guides were able to get us to (monkeys, crocodiles, iguanas and various birds). The family style lunch was excellent too. We had been in Costa Rica for several weeks and eaten at all kinds of restaurants, from simple sodas to fine dining , and this was one of the best meals during our entire trip. The cost was very reasonable too.

Favorite tour in Costa Rica! - Everything about this tour was phenomenal. It was the highlight of our two-yr-anniversary trip in Costa Rica! My husband and I were extremely impressed and wholeheartedly recommend it.
As soon as we booked it, Arturo was extremely communicative and provided precise instructions to get to the meeting point. He found us on the road escort us to the restaurant where they served us delicious authentic food before heading to the point. We were joined by his brother who steered the boat. Between the two of them spotting different animals along the river, we were able to spot crocodiles, monkeys, parrots, frog, all sorts of exotic birds and an iguana. Unlike my husband who loves the outdoors, I’m honestly not big into animals, nature, hiking etc but this was super fun and I loved every second of the tour.
Arturo and his brother were kind, funny and knowledgeable. We appreciated their guidance and will never forget this tour!
Book it!

Amazing Experience! - What an amazing experience! Arturo and his trusty boat driver, Luis, were very informative and were able to spot even bats on the trees when we would have completely missed them. We saw howler monkeys, so many crocodiles, iguanas, numerous different species of birds and Arturo could tell us about all of them. We went early in the morning to avoid the heat of the day and it was great. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks Arturo and Luis!

Great day of nature watching! - We had a fantastic tour. Our guide was Henry and he and our boat captain found tons of animals to point out - howler and white faced monkeys, crocodiles, iguanas, coati, and lots of beautiful birds. Henry was very knowledgeable in telling us about the history of the river and the ecosystem of the area. Our lunch at the ranch was delicious and the ranch had more interesting things to see. I would highly recommend this tour.

Tour guide knew his stuff and brought the tour to life - Arturo and miguel were excellent. They pointed out all the fauna in the area and were adept at navigating the river to the point we could see every unique monkey, bird, crocodile, etc. on the river. They even had a way of calling the monkeys to come closer to see them better.
Aruturo gave a lot of info on the overall Costa Rican history, sociality and, also, all of the background on the parque and its interconnection acrpss all aspects of the ecological footprint.
Great sense of humor for both of them.

Great Day on the River - The river was thick with crocs and the bank was full of capuchin monkeys. Add in some beautiful birds, iguanas and a few sleepy howler monkeys and we had a really nice cross section of the wildlife the Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Cipancà has to offer.
We started the day with a good cup of coffee & ended it with a tasty Casado lunch at the Rancho Los Coyotes. Fun place with a very friendly staff.
Family run business featuring brothers, Arturo & Andres. Very personable guys who work hard to make your excursion a memorable experience.
Overall, a really great day. Highly recommended. Probably the best value for your tour dollars in Costa Rica.

Great tour with some kinks - Good and bad to this tour,
I’ll start with the good: our boat captain José was incredible! He did an amazing job spotting and helping us to see all of the different wildlife. He even did some pretty epic monkey calls. We saw an abundances of wildlife such as crocodiles, white face and howler monkeys, owls, bats, iguanas and various bird species. The boat was great and José did an excellent job navigating us up close to the banks to see the animals.
The bad: logistics were messy. We waited at the meeting point 10 minutes past our departure time and no one showed so we then continued on down the road to find a shop labeled Palo Verde Boat Tours so we stopped in there to ask them and the lady inside was nice enough to call our tour operator and get him down there for us. It seemed they had no idea we were coming despite having booked a week in advance. Everything and everyone was flustered, confused and rushed. We also were not provided the lunch that the tour said it came with or binoculars.
Overall I’d say the tour was worth it as the experience turned out worthwhile for all of the animals but this company needs some work on the logistical side.
