I went to Costa Rica with my wife and 2 young children, 3 and 5 and thought it was a great trip to view the wild life. This trip did not disappoint. The guides were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The bus arrived on time and the trip came back on time. We were able to see a basilisk lizard, crocodile, bats, and lots of monkeys. we were surprised by the snacks at the end of the tour which inc luded grinding our on sugar cane.

Nice easy float with lots of wildlife

The crew were very professional and we always felt safe. Our guide Albarone was very knowledgeable and had a great eye for picking out wildlife. The trip concluded with a visit to a small farm situated on the ri ver and hosted by a very nice couple that provided a few local snacks, and some great coffee or sugar cane drink.
