Lots of monkeys - The monkeys were anxious to take the food offered. Our driver was very helpful as we have mobility limitations.

Loved those monkeys - It was a fun experience. We thought there was going to be a lot of walking but there was hardly any. Feeding the monkeys was awesome (even for a scardy cat like myself). Food was great and filling.

Great Day - Highly recommend as all stops were great. Feeding the monkeys is tough to beat, seeing crocs in their natural environment was interesting and the local lunch was tasty.

Incredible up close encounters! - It was awesome, a dream since I was a kid! We ended up having our own private tour, we had so many monkeys on us, over a dozen, they were gentle and sweet (despite all of the bad rep the white faced capuchins get). It was surreal how they would take the fruits from our hands, or nibble gently on the fruit as we held them, or even lick our fingers when it was just mush left. Our driver and guide, Tatiana, was amazing - friendly, very knowledgeable and we were never rushed at any of the activities. Lunch was also one of the best meals we’ve had in Costa Rica. It was truly a five star experience!

Easy morning with sweet monkeys - We had a great morning on our Monkey tour. Our guide was lovely and the transportation had AC, bottled water and he even picked up fresh fruit for us for the drive. When we arrived to the spot we weren't sure where we were going but after we walked through what seemed like an outdoor living space we entered into the jungle area and the white faced monkeys were there! They are not nervous at all and with some snacks like fruit and treats they come and crawl on you and jump on you. Our guide had a lot of knowledge about them and it was lovely to have these sweet animals all around. After our time with the monkeys we were able to wash our hands and arms with soap and water. The stop to see the crocodiles was just a bridge with a walkway. We got to see about 7 of them and again our guide told us a bit about the animals. He then took us to a lovely Soda for lunch and the food was fresh and tasty. It was a great way to spend an easy morning.

Great tour with Carlos - Great tour with Carlos. I called the day before and they arranged to pick me up from the Airbnb I was staying at even though it wasn’t listed on the pick up locations. It’s about a 45 minute drive to the Monkeys. You get to feed them and snap a few pictures. Then you stop at the crocodile bridge. Another stop for the restroom. Then back in Jaco you’ll eat lunch. Then you get dropped off. The entire day was about 4 hours. You get water and fruit for the drive, but if you save the fruit, you can feed it to the monkeys. Great tour, highly recommend it.

I felt the culture - The tour was a great experience and included so much more than what was expected. Our guide was Tatiana and she was very knowledgeable with the area and all the historic parts the lead up to the destination. I highly recommend this tour and please try to have Tatiana as your guide.

Paul and Jose great guides - Great time and great service they picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back off 45 mins away hassle free. I had two tour guides, one was Paul he drove us and the other guys name was Jose I believe I can’t remember but he was extremely informative and a friendly great guy who told me more about Costa Rica than I knew up until that day. Took us to eat local Costa Rican food and it was very good as well. Recommend these guys. Also brought us to alligator bridge and we saw gators. Recommend these guys ask for Paul and his partner for sure

One of the most... - One of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever done in life. Got picked up at hotel, the tour guys were friendly and informative. You get to feed and play with monkeys. In the way back you stop for some good food and do some crocodile watching!
