Relaxing, fun day of learning - I am a travel guide and brought a group of clients on this tour. They loooved it! Our guide, Maikol, was incredibly knowledgeable, plus he and our boat captain, Jonathan, were SO good at spotting animals and birds along the way. Several people in the group specifically mentioned appreciating some of the history and context of the land and how it’s been used, and how it has been impacting animals, birds, and the people of Sierpe. I will definitely be back with another group in the future!

Excellent Tour! - The was a great tour and well organized. The captain had excellent spotting skills and drove the vessel safely and navigated our party into some optimal spots for pictures. The guide, Oscar was friendly, courteous, extremely knowledgeable about the plant life, trees, birds, amphibians, animals etc. The 3 hour time frame worked for us. Note: Oscar spoke excellent English and he speaks German and Spanish. Great tour!

Enjoyable Sierpe river mangrove tour 2024 - We happened to visit Costa Rica during a tropical depression that made our entire trip very wet. Initially we were reluctant to take this trip due to the intermittent rain, but decided to go after speaking with Nina. The entire trip along the Sierpe river and among the mangroves was well worth it and the right decision. Nina and our guide Jonathan were absolutely awesome to deal with. Nina was accommodating and worked with us and the weather. Jonathan is a great guide, knowledgeable and went out of his way to point out objects and wildlife. Jonathan informed us about the various wildlife we encountered including snakes, lizards, monkeys, bats, crocodiles and a large assortment of birds and parrots. With this excursion that Nina and Jonathan set up for us, we weren't disappointed and we probably observed as much as we would have in the best of weather. All our thanks for a wonderful trip and excellent guide.

A very worthwhile tour - Our guide, Jonathan, was both genuine and very knowledgeable. We saw lots of wildlife and learned lots about Mangrove forests and other things (eg. banana and Palm Oil farming). Wildlife included crocodiles, 2 up close: one a baby, one a mid-sized female, multiple types of Herons, Macaws, Ibis, Egret, Kingfisher, Mangrove swallow, Black Toucan. White-Face Capuchin and Squirrel Monkeys. A Jesus Lizard. Multiple types of Mangroves, with explanations of their unique adaptations and benefits to the ecosystem. We also spent some quality time just floating with the motor off, tied up in a narrow channel, just taking in the atmosphere. Organizing the tour was easy, communicating with Nina, who gave us all the information we needed (we contacted Nina via WhatsApp on the posted number for Osa Discovery Tours).
