Itinerary
The canals that lead to the Tortuguero National Park begin in the Puerto Moin sector, just 5 miles from the center of the Limon province. This moin sector has small docks for small boats that make the trip along the Caribbean coast, until they reach their final point in Barra de Colorado. This system of natural and artificial canals made by man, are a tourist attraction because it runs through beautiful sectors of forests, small towns and offers a perfect opportunity to admire a large number of wild animals such as monkeys, sloths, iguanas, alligators, waterfowl and many more.

We've just returned from a two week cruise. One of our stops was Limon, Costa Rica. It's been over two weeks, and we are still talking, thinking, and dreaming of our day in Limon. Our guide for the day was a gentleman named Walker. We would not had have the incredible experience we did, without him. He truly knows and loves his country. So informative, and super personable. He made our experience perfect! We started off zip-lining, with a mangrove boat tour. The zip-lining was AMAZING. Very long runs, and a LOT of them! Breathtaking scenery, fantastic staff. So helpful and happy! We felt 100% safe. A woman in our group was afraid of heights, and by the second run, she was having the time of her life! The boat cruise was much quieter, but we saw a baby caiman, a sloth, an iguana, a number of cool birds, and a gorgeous basilisk. The boat guide was very informative, and found animals that we would never have seen! We'll be back for sure!
Thank you for recognizing the dedication of our team. Your review inspires us to continue providing high-quality, sustainable tourism experiences.
Guide Steven was excellent - lots of information and couple extra stops for local highlights Zip lines were very good second only to the much larger Quanacaste ones with friendly and helpful staff Canal cruise staff pointed out all local creatures present and took care to make sure all saw them

We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience. Hope to serve you again in the near future.
We had the Best day in Costa Rica today! Beautifully perfect weather with no rain in sight. Our guide Stephen Saeger picked us up (very small group) and stayed with us all day. Meeting him outside Puerto Limon was no problem. We drove approximately 1 hour to the zip line canopy tour. Everyone there was skilled were having so much fun. They really wanted us to have the best experience and cared about keeping us safe. The zipline was the best was to see the beautiful rainforest. It was 11 stations and we flew way above the trees. (no mosquitoes) Then we drove to the Tortuguero River and took a 1 hour boat tour where our guides showed us the wildlife that lives in Costa Rica. Then on the way home Stephen asked us what else we would like to do. He took us to local restaurant for lunch and then took us to the best place to buy coffee. He did everything to show us his beautiful country and I really appreciate all the extra time he took with us. We feel like we learned a lot about Costa Rica and we have only happy memories!

We booked this trip as shore excursion and it did not start out well. The tour operator already left as our ship arrived later then another cruise ship. They thought we were on the first ship and thought we didnt come. Luckily for us there was a taxi driver, Dexter Foster, that knew the tour operator and called for us. He arranged that we could do the tour with him in his taxi! We had a fun and lovely day with him. The zipline experience was great as well as the boat tour (saw all kind of animals, like monkeys and sloths). Thanks again Dexter!
I apologize on behalf of everyone at Greenway Nature Tours. Please know that your situation was an exception. As you can see on other reviews, we are known for taking ownership and caring deeply about our customers. We can’t fix the past but you have my personal commitment to improve the way our staff serves every customer. Until then, please accept my sincerest apologies on behalf of everyone on the team. Was great that Dexter can help us on this situation and you enjoy the day with him
This is not your normal tourist, easy zip line. This is a real zip line and while they make it safe for you, if you are experienced, you can have fun as well. There are 12 zips in all and several of them are long and allow you to get some great speed and adrenalin. If you are a beginner, they have brakes at the end and they help you get set up. If you are experienced and want to speed into things, you can do that as well. Now the canal boat half was interesting. It was OKAY. My family loved it seeing monkeys swinging through the trees and a few birds and snakes. For me, it was eh. I would have preferred to do the zip line a second time. The only issue is we never had a chance to buy our photos as our tour bus was leaving as we ended. This was because our group was so large it took a longer time then necessary on the zipline.
We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience. Hope to serve you again in the near future.
Our 1st time zip lining. I’m 77and the wife 74. The staff gave very good instructions and took time fitting the equip ent. The only downside was the rain which was nothing to do with the zip line company. This part of the tour would be 4 stars. The Tortuguero Canal tour portion of the tour was not worth the 20 minutes or so it took. It was like they showed us a sloth in a tree a couple of monkeys and an iguana so tours over. I would give it a very generous 1 star. Our drive Steve (Reynaldo) was the 5 star plus part of the tour. He answered our questions, gave us a history lesson, stopped to point out wildlife and show us the local flora. Overall Steve showed us more than the canal tour.
Thank you for the fantastic 4-star review. We're thrilled you enjoyed our activity and had a great experience with us. Your support means the world to our team. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!
