We will visit the sanctuary of the white-faced capuchin monkeys, the most intelligent species of monkeys in the new world. Our visit will be safe and informative for everyone, from children to adults. We’ll learn about their family organization, alphas, and betas, and how to calculate their age. During these tours people are not allowed to touch the animals, but animals if they feel comfortable allowed to touch people. They are still wild animals and we are not violating their habitat. We don't allowed to feed them as well We’ll then see the crocodiles of Rio Grande de Tarcoles and enjoy the local souvenir sale and a buffet-style restaurant. We can choose to admire the crocodiles from the bridge or take a boat tour for an extra $43. The boat tour lasts approximately 1:40 minutes and includes bird watching and a naturalist guide. We’ll then go to a hidden beach in Jaco to see the sloths. We’ll sit on chairs, have a table, and I’ll serve drinks and snacks.

Great tour, exceeded expectations. The guid and driver were fantastic. Very informative, very attentive to guest.
Thank you for highlighting the passion and love we have for our people and animals. We will be here for a next time! Pura vida
The guide was enthusiastic to show us the monkeys. The crocodile boat ride was fantastic. We got to touch a crocodile in the water. He even found us a sloth at the beach we went to.
Thank you for letting us show you the area We will be here for a next time! Pura vida!
We had so much fun on this excursion! Geirold was the absolute best! He knew the perfect spot to see the monkeys and had an incredible talent for spotting the sloths hiding way up in the trees. He truly made the experience memorable for our first time in Costa Rica! Highly recommended!
Your words are very important for me I am very happy and proud of being one of your highlights in Costa Rica! Thank you and pura vida!
At first I was scared to go on this tour but it actually was a great experience! We saw tons of animals and definitely a lot of crocodiles. He keep your hands on the boat!
That’s a beautiful feeling of life being scared sometimes it’s okay! It makes you feel alive 🥂 Thank you for sharing your thoughts !
Pick-up and drop-off was from our condo tower, and right on time. Roy and Geirold were an excellent team! On our first stop, we saw monkeys! Note that it is not a petting zoo and monkeys are free in the forest, so they “may” come see you . In our case, they did! The crocodiles are also “free” down in the river so we observed them from the bridge. As for the one sloth we encountered after a short hike in the forest, it was high up in a tree. Without our guide Geirold, we would have never seen it! As promised we stopped for a delicious brunch in a Soda. There was a nice gift shop and clean restrooms.
Thank you for reviewing your experience with us! The main goal is quality over quantity! I’ll be here for a next time in the costarican jungle!
This was the best trip in Costa Rica! These guys are excellent and provided a great experience at an unbelievable value. I’m booking them again next week when I host other visitors from America.
Thank you for being part of our adventure. We are ready for the next time! Pura vida !
We are delighted with the service we received from Geriold, he knows the wildlife and culture in Jaco well, he is a history book of the place. We loved the visit to the signs which was the highlight of the tour and the meal which was excellent. We recommend it, it's worth the price 👌🌸
Thank you Madame !
We were a group of 6 and had Enrique, Jose, and Roy. They were all fantastic and had a wealth of knowledge about the local flora and fauna. We got to see Capuchin monkeys, crocodiles, and sloths. We also went to a beautiful restaurant for a delicious breakfast. At the end we checked out a nice sandy beach beside Jaco. We got some great photos and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you to Enrique, Jose, and Roy!
Thank you for being part of our experience (tour) We do this in the name of biology and respect for every single creature alive ! We will be here for a next time ! 🌹
Such a fun experience! We highly recommend this tour for anyone—couples, families, or groups of friends. Our guides were fun, knowledgeable, and made safety and comfort a top priority from start to finish. We had an amazing time and would absolutely do it again!
Thank you for letting the world know how family friendly our tours are. We do this with love respect and gratitude! Pura vida !
Absolutely loved the monkey experience. Gerald was a very nice and informative guide and made sure we all had a chance to interact with the monkeys if we wanted. He also made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. The crocodile part was not great since we just saw one from far above but it was a risk we understood. Sloths were very high up but we brought binoculars and the guides brought a scope for us to use as well. In total we were happy with the experience. One caution, be prepared for traffic delays, not under control by the guides.
Thank you for your supporting words! Unfortunately we only got to see one American saltwater crocodile but this is nature I know the sloth time was really good 🫡 We will be here for a next time !
