Monkey time - I was afraid of mosquitos on the boat, it was February and there were none. I truly enjoyed the stop for an authentic small lunch with local music group and delicious fruit drink. Our guide Erica was fun, well organized, professional. The tour is worth an effort and money.

Tour with Gabriella - Gabriella was an amazing tour guide!! She provided us with an education and an excellent experience. She showed us several different species of wildlife during the tour. She was as excited as we were about seeing the animals. Gabriella was personable, funny and extremely knowledgeable. She made a great tour even better! Thank you so much Gabriella!

Fun - We had such a great time during this tour. We got to see monkeys, crocodiles, and a variety of birds. Jesus and Percy were professional, informative, and made sure to answer all the questions we had. I highly recommend booking a tour with them.

Our private 3 generation tour of Palo Verde - We loved our Palo Verde tour experience, but most likely meeting and greeting an entire Capouchin family from an arm distance was most memorable. Our guide, driver, and boat driver on out tour were all wonderful.

Great Experience! - We really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it. Our guide (Stevenson) was extremely knowledgeable about the flora, fauna and region in general and made the trip so enjoyable. Our van and boat drivers were very nice and were excellent at what they do. We saw so much wildlife it was crazy...Scarlet Macaws and multiple other types of birds, two species of monkeys, crocs, lizards, bats...you name it. The 90-minute drive from the Playa Conchal area and back was definitely worth it!

Overpriced - we would not recommend this tour based on value - The tour was OK. There were fewer birds than we expected, but that can happen with wildlife.
Having experienced it, we note that the price we paid for this was significantly more expensive that any of the other tours that we took while in Costa Rica. It offered relatively poor value and since there are so many other excellent tour options available, we would not recommend this tour based on value.
