Tour Guide Fiorela was THE perfect Guide for our tour !!!! Always open for questions and helpful in any kind !!! She made us have a perfect day !!! :)))))) !!!!
Thank you for recognizing the dedication of our team. Your review inspires us to continue providing high-quality, sustainable tourism experiences.
This is the same tour offered by our cruise ship but was a better value. You get three different experiences - 1) a visit to a nearby national park with sloths, monkeys and some birds, 2) an organic banana plantation where you learn both about the fruit and the packaging process and 3) a canal tour on a boat offering close-ups of sloths and caimans. Our guide Nathalie was a delight - very informative, positive and professional.. Highly recommended!
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're glad you enjoyed our product, and we appreciate your 5 stars review. We're extremely happy that you had a positive experience, and we're grateful for your feedback.
This was a well organized day with a biologist as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, professional and personable. He was aware of the needs of the group and offered spot stop options for those who were mobility challenged. The driver was aware and watched for opportunities to see wildlife en route and stopped for amazing sites. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This was a great tour and our guide Natalie was exceptional. The bus and boat were clean and comfortable and Natalie was full of knowledge about the area and all the species. I learned so much in the 6 hours of the tour. Highly recommend this one!

We're really grateful and appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and added an extra dimension to our tour. We saw an incredible number of animals (slouths, iguanas, holler monkeys, cayman, and birds). We sampled various fruits at the plantation
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback. We really appreciate it and hope to serve you again in the near future.
The tourist guide and the driver are really good effective and efficient. Excellence. Natalie and the driver is Johnny
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope to serve you again in the near future
Our guide Ariel was great-Pickup outside the port was easy, transportation was very comfortable and the locations visited were amazing. Ariel shared his wealth and breath of knowledge, never rushed us at the three destinations - Cahuita National Perk, the banana plantation and a river tour and made it a really interesting and fun day. As warned, bring Deet as the mosquitos can be a little aggressive and carry water and snacks as we spent six hours on the tour. There is food and drink that can be bought at the banana plantation and the prices are reasonable. A really nice thing our guide did- let us know that we would be arriving back at the port on time, several times during the day.
