Fun, Informative, and a bonus shark!

Juan Carlos was an excellent guide. We had a great time learning all about the mangroves and how important they are to the rest of Earth. We got to see crocodiles up close and personal. But the real treat was a rarely seen black tipped shark in the estuary! The trip was a nice way to spend a few hours learning all about Costa Rica and the eco system this small little country thrives on.

10/10 would recommend!!

The tour guide was funny, energetic and talkative. It was amazing how well he could spot the animals and had extensive knowledge on the wildlife. My husband and i were so impressed. We got to see tree crabs, ignuanas, a raccoon, multiple crocodiles, and monkeys and well as some vultures.
