Awesome crocodiles - Our day in Costa Rica with Greenway was nothing short of amazing. We spent the morning on a short trek exploring the rain forest and the hanging bridges, we didn’t see many animals or birds but did see a dart frog. After we went to the Tarcoles River to see the crocodiles which were awesome. Unfortunately the heavy rain meant the tour of puntarenas was cancelled

Nice hike, nice river cruise - Very tour. Nice hike, nice river trip. One thing they don't tell you is the 50 minute stop at the souvenir store/complex. Nice place but not sure I needed that stop.

We did enjoy the river... - We did enjoy the river cruise. Our guide was very informative and entertaining. The hike through the jungle was during the day, so none of the animals/birds were visible.

Sites great but travel terrible - The minibus was terrible. Many of us could not fit in these sears. There was no legroom and we had to sit sideways - very uncomfortable and smashing the knees. Guides weee good but did not say much about life in Puntanedad unless specifically asked about something - like education system, races, food, government, etc.

Nice way to see some sites - Great tour and great guide. Enjoyed the whole tour. Unfortunately very few crocodiles where seen as the river was very low and it was very hot. Plus a late start on this part of the tour as we had to wait for the tide to come in. But making us stop at a tourist restaurant and gift shop was a total rip off. Over priced merchandise. Got my shopping done at the port. Where you could get better deals. Just a heads-up. At the port go left from the ship. Where you will find better restaurants and cheaper souvenirs.

Excellent experience (but longer than expected) - The activities were very enjoyable and our guide and driver were excellent. I would like to rate this tour as excellent, but I expected to return to the ship at 1:00pm as stated on the website, but we actually arrived about 4:00pm. While the 40 minutes delay getting started on the river portion of the tour was not Greenway's fault, even without that delay I still would have returned at least two hours later than I had expected. (Friends on board were a bit worried about me since I didn't meet them for lunch as expected.) However... I really enjoyed the hike and hanging bridges. The resort where it is based was lovely, and we had a wonderful break there with fruit and water before heading to the river portion of the excursion. We saw several crocodiles on the river and the bird-watching was very good. The bus/van was comfortable with good A/C and free internet. As I said before, our driver Charlie and guide Arial were both excellent... friendly, informative, helpful.

Just an very expensive walk, no pleasant surprises or animals, birds in sight. - Though the tour costd a bom,no drink and food provided during the walking just cheap juice and fruit after the walk. Really not worth it at all for this shabby treatment
