Highly recommended Puntarenas shore excursion - The Greenway Tour van was easy to locate after an easy walk from the ship at the Puntarenas port. Our tour guide, Ronald, was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife, fauna and Costa Rican history. He walked us through the rainforest and the swing bridges to point out the various animals and plant life in the area. Included in the tour was an hour long Jungle Crocodile Safari boat ride on the Tarcoles River to look for crocodiles, birds, iguanas, and other wildlife specific to Costa Rica. We took a break to have some tropical fruits in a lovely village and was given time to have lunch and souvenir shop at El Jardin. I felt it was money well spent for the 7-8 hour excursion which was less expensive than taking the ship’s excursion. Ronald also gave each person a little snack box filled with a water, juice, cookies and candies.

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.
