Costa Rica Visit - Great experience for my daughters. Our guides were great, especially the guy steering. He was able to get us close to the monkeys and they even jumped in the vessel. Kids had a blast. Would highly recommend it!

So much fun! Highly recommend - The tour was so much fun! Our guide was funny and knowledgeable about all the animals and plants even giving both the Spanish and English words for everything. We got to see all kinds of birds and lizards and even had monkeys climb in the boat. All around an excellent tour!

Mangrove Boat tour don’t miss it - ---
**Title: A Memorable Mangrove Boat Tour! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**
I recently went on the **Mangrove Boat Tour**, and it was a fantastic experience that I can't recommend enough!
**Wildlife Encounter:**
The highlight of our trip was definitely the wildlife. We encountered a number of fascinating species, but the **capuchin monkeys** stole the show! They came down from the treetops, crawling around on the boat and even interacting with us. Watching them in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable.
**Guided Experience:**
Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and informative. They shared insights about the ecosystem, the mangroves, and the various wildlife we spotted, which enhanced our experience significantly.
**Overall Impression:**
With such an engaging experience and the opportunity to connect with nature, I’m thrilled to give this tour **5 stars**! If you’re looking for a fun and educational outing, this is definitely the tour for you.

Amazing immersive experience - Such an amazing, immersive experience. My boyfriend and I booked it on a whim and it was one of the top highlights of our trip. Our Guide, “Crazy Alex” was amazing. He was so entertaining and had such a way to call the animals to him- There was a family of monkeys that was familiar with him and they actually came onto the boat to eat out of peoples hands. It was so cool!! Definitely worth the price. So much amazing wildlife to be seen, and a beautiful landscape. Please remember to bring cash with you for a tip as gratuity is not included in the price of the tour

Good guide made up for unfulfilled promises. - Let’s start with the positive side of things; our guide had wonderful energy, he was knowledgeable and very active. He was kind to everyone and especially attentive to the kids,,which engaged them and intrigued them to the environment and the wild life species around. This for itself was great and we’re very grateful for and to him.
Aside for this, we we’re very disappointed to find ourselves on a large boat of (maybe) 20-30 people while we were explicitly promised that we’ll have our dedicated guide and our own family boat. Not only that it was a surprise to us, but we felt deceived at the same time. Fully misled but a personal WhatsApp note which we received shortly after we had bought the tour’s tickets.
What started as a courteous promise has never been fulfilled.
