Palo Verde River Boat Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a fun time on this tour! We stopped at a park and fed some iguanas, then stopped at a very cool traditional ranch and I got to press some sugar cane to express the juice which we sampled. Then we had a traditional lunch that was cooked over wood fire on an outdoor stove and served to us on the covered patio. Then we had a pottery demonstration. This place was the best and the people were very hospitable. We even saw a howler monkey hanging in the tree. After that they took us to the river boat tour where we saw different birds, monkeys and some crocodiles. Shout out to Iñaki who booked our tour for us and made sure the bus found our condo and picked us up on time. Thanks for following up too! Shout out also to Daniel who was the tour guide and did an awesome job narrating the tour and educating AND entertaining us for the whole day! Shout out to Jener our bus driver who also did a great job! This tour was a full day of making awesome Costa Rican memories :)

Awesome day! 5 stars!

Published on Feb, 2025

It was a very nice tour. Our guides Harold and Alejandro were knowledgable and personable. They pointed out lots of interesting wildlife and we learned a lot about Costa Rican culture. We felt very safe with our excellent driver Jener as well as the captain of the river boat. We highly recommend this tour.

Family trip

Published on Feb, 2025

I had a great time with my family. Harold, Alejandro, and Jenner were fantastic guides. We got to see everything scheduled as well as a few bonus stops. We were able to see monkeys, crocodiles, and several types of birds. Lunch was delicious and mostly vegetarian (except for the chicken). Would recommend.
