Tour Options
Itinerary
We will take in the lovely Tarcoles river cruise for 1 hour for bird watching a and crocodiles. Better option for wildlife stopping than hiking the park due the weather and how warm it gets by that time the day.
We will not enter the national park since that late is very hot and humid not proper for everyone and worth it. We will be driving around the park borders with stops for sightseeing, photo opt mostly for wildlife and lovely rain forest and ocean views, some easy walking,
Stops by Farmers markets and lunch at a lovely mountain restaurant with excellent views. Also butterflies garden and souvenir at el Jardin
Brief city tour and sightseeing driver, stops for photos without much walking involved.

We always love any tour we have done with Odyssey Tours. We love the 10 in 1 tour and all the rest. Haven’t had an bad tour yet with them. Alvaro and Diego and their guides are the best! We recommend them 100%.
It was an excellent tour. we enjoyed
Tour did all we needed and plus. Tour leader was great. Lunch was at a farm overlooking the countryside. The crocodile boat trip was uncrowded and relaxed. Monkeys were safe and enjoyable. Our pickup at the cruise dock was easy. We even left early.
This tour was excellent! We got to see and do so many things in one day. The tour operators were so knowledgeable and fun to be with. The included lunch was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Puntarenas!
Great tour with Ronny and Jesus. Best lunch we had on a tour. Crocodiles were at the rendez vous. Couldn’t do anything about rain!
Would like a few more photo stops. Very good guide. Visit to National Park would be great.
Although our ship was late arriving at port, the tour bus was waiting for us in the designated spot. Our tour guide, Hazel, was so friendly and informative. We loved all the planned stops except for the included lunch which we didn’t get until almost 3pm and it wasn’t very good. We were starving by then. Saw lots of monkeys, crocs and macaws in their natural habitats (no cages). Would have been nice to give us more time to souvenir shop. Overall was a very fun day and good taste of Costa Rica. Great job Hazel!!
This was one of the best Viator tours we have been on from a cruise ship. Hazel (tour guide) was brilliant and consistently explained amazing information about the places, wildlife and general issues related to Puntarenas and Costa Rica. We would highly recommend this tour for its ease of access, great vehicles and amazing tour itinerary.
This tour has something for everyone: Do you like interacting with capuchin monkeys? They have you covered. Spotting wildlife in the trees? Check. Bird watching and crocodile sighting along the Tarcoles River? Highlight of the tour. Historical, cultural, and ecological information from a knowledgeable guide? Absolutely. Tasty local lunch at a friendly, open air restaurant? Yes, that too. Overall a great tour to do from the cruise port. Nothing too strenuous in the heat.
Great excursion that covered all the key places we wanted to see and do.
