Tour du chocolat et croisière sur le canal de Tortuguero
Description
Si vous aimez le chocolat, la nature et observer les animaux sauvages dans leur habitat naturel comme les singes, les paresseux et les grenouilles colorées, cette visite est faite pour vous. Au cours de cette visite, vous visiterez une plantation de cacao traditionnelle près du parc Cahuita à Puerto Limon. Dans cette propriété, gérée par une famille locale avec plus de 100 ans de tradition chocolatière, vous pourrez connaître son histoire et comment elle a réussi à survivre à travers le temps. Accompagnés de guides locaux experts, nous visiterons les plantations de cacao pour en apprendre davantage sur la plante, les techniques de culture, ses fruits, la récolte et la transformation des graines jusqu'à atteindre le produit final : le chocolat. Après cette visite chocolatée, continuez le voyage jusqu'au canal de Tortuguero, un lieu riche en espèces sauvages où les paresseux dans leur habitat naturel sont faciles à observer.

There was a tour guide and bus driver who worked together. The tour guide was excellent explaining what the tour entailed. He showed us what Costa Rican money looked like and passed it around. We visited the Chocolate plantation, saw crocodiles and enjoyed a delicious hot lunch. We even got to shop in the store! A wonderful experience with terrific tour guides!
Thank you for recognizing the dedication of our team. Your review inspires us to continue providing high-quality, sustainable tourism experiences.
Safe, informative and well planned excursion. Unhurried, friendly and professional guide (Flory) and a careful and efficient driver (Andres). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! 🙂👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🌵
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re happy to know you enjoyed a responsible and authentic experience with us. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, and it’s wonderful to see guests appreciate it.
Our guide was Ernesto and he truly gave us a remarkable day. The cacao farm tour was interesting, fun and tasty! Seeing the steps from pod to finished product and all the steps between was really something, and the folks at the farm were terrific. We really got lucky on the canal as we saw sloths and monkeys! Ernesto also took us to the banana plantation and gave us some truly interesting insights to the flora in CR. I should also give rave reviews to our driver. Hector. His eagle eyes spotted sloths during our drive! Finally, once back in Limon, Ernesto showed us the best place to buy Costa Rican coffee and then a small local cafe- things he certainly didn't have to do but were very much appreciated Overall our day was truly enjoyable and we would definitely recommend this tour (especially if you can get Ernesto as tour guide!)
Thank you for the fantastic 5-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!
Steven was a great tour guide! This was noted in prior reviews and was instrumental in my final decision to go with this tour. Highly recommend over booking a tour through the cruise line. It was great to be in a small group vs a commercial bus with 75+ people. Again Steven was the best and you will have no second thoughts on choosing this tour!
Thank you for this fantastic 5-star review! Our team works hard to create memorable experiences, and it means a lot to know we succeeded. We hope to see you again on your next visit to Costa Rica!
We rate this 5 out of 5 stars. Steven is an excellent guide. We were lucky, it was just the two of us on the tour so it was a very personal experience. If we come back to Costa Rica we would use Greenway Tours and we would ask for Steven again.
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.
Our trip was amazing because of these guys. Jose and Charlie made this trip so memorable. They were so nice and understanding, I recommend this to anyone wanting to get the full Costa Rican experience.
We appreciate your outstanding review. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we’re glad you noticed the quality of our service and guides.
Josue was excellent! We loved the chocolate tour with Danny, Josue did a great job with the banana tour, and the canal tour. He was very personable and informative.
We truly appreciate your kind words and 5-star rating. Thank you for supporting sustainable tourism in Costa Rica. We hope to share more nature adventures with you soon!
The boat ride in the canal was way too long. The guide (Christopher) was very good though. We did learn a lot about the chocolate process
We always try to do our job in the best way, and we are sorry that you experienced this inconvenience today. We will try the best way to improve so that a situation of this type does not happen again.
The Chocolate Tour & Tortuguero Canal shore excursion from Puerto Limon was excellent. Our guide and driver Steven was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we never felt rushed at any of the stops. A nice touch was the box we were given that included water, fruit juice, sweets and food bar. It was lovely to just be on the tour with one other couple, so much easier and more comfortable than being on a coach with 50 people. The stops were interesting with lots of information given. We were given some lovely fresh fruit after the canal portion of the the tour. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
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
WOW this was a great tour and well worth the price! Highly recommend. They picked us up from our cruise terminal and then drove into the jungle where we saw the chocolate museum/plantation. Got a chance to see the fruit growing and even try the raw cocoa pod fruit (delicious!). We saw the entire process of how chocolate is made and got to eat it at each stage. We then went to a banana plantation and saw how bananas are harvested (and we got to try both commercial and local small bananas which are delicious!). Then the tour of the Canal in a boat (no kayaking or paddling necessary), where the guide pointed out several sloths, monkeys, birds, lizards, and more. An unforgettable day and a great tour!!!!
We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience. Hope to serve you again in the near future.
