Fantastic Wildlife Spotting Tour in the Cahuita National Park - Thanks to our great tour guide Rosa and our friendly driver José, we had a lovely day in the Cahuita national park. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful coral reef as well as the lush rainforest. Rosa has a knack for finding animals in the jungle. She helped us spot two-toed sloths, howler monkeys, a raccoon, a branch-mimicking snake, the Blue Morpho Butterly, and other animals.

Fish, monkeys sloths and fun! - We had an amazing time snorkeling and hiking in Cahuita National Park. Our tour guide Risheylin and driver Sirias picked us up on time from our hotel in a nice air-conditioned van. We stopped for Costa Rican coffee, souvenirs and a small tour to see banana plants, cocoa plants, coffee plants and many other native plants. We were very lucky and got an up close experience with a sloth our driver saw on the side of the road!! We spent over an hour snorkeling seeing the coral reefs, plenty of tropical fish, nurse sharks and sting rays and then our guide took us through the hiking trail and spotted lots of sloths, monkeys and a lizard for us. It is definitely worth the money to have a tour guide show you the animals because even when she was pointing right at the sloths it took us a while to finally see them. Overall it was an amazing day trip from Limon and we highly recommend :)

Johnny saves the day! - When we got off our ship excited to snorkel, the syltravel group was waiting. Sadly the water had been too rough over night and so they were honest in letting us know it would not be worth going to snorkel. They refunded our money and Johnny saved the day, by taking us on a short tour of his town, complete with a stop at the local famous spot for a an original Tico treat. He then brought us to a pretty little Playa Bonita and came back for us hours later to return is to the ship. What we thought was a bust of a day, turned into a nice one for sure, thanks Johnny!! and thanks to Syltravel for the honest and prompt service.

Excellent tours, request Evelyn! - We were approached by someone from Syl Travel as we were exploring the park in downtown Limon. I was skeptical, but then I read the reviews online, and we are so grateful that we found them! We booked a hiking tour of Cahuita National Park and snorkeling with Syl Travel, and we couldn't be happier! Our AMAZING guide Evelyn was exceptional! Incredibly knowledgeable about the plants and animals, and she went above and beyond to accommodate me, my 66 year old mother and 14 year old nephew. Evelyn truly loves her work, and showed us so many things, request her! You will NOT be disappointed! We booked two other tours with Evelyn and Syl during that trip because we were so pleased with our experience, and we will definitely book with Evelyn and Syl Travel again next time we go to Costa Rica!

Disappointed in every way - It was bad weather raining the day before do the water is murky. Instead of giving us the ability to cancel, they just tell us to get on the boat for a rainy ride anyway and without any life jacket. Then the park was without Amy guided tour guide, I've to hire my own separate. Also the cap driver was although very nice and friendly, he said the trip does not provide any bottled water and I showed him on my phone that it was suppose to. I wouldn't go with this tour provided by Syd travel for sure. Shame on you syd travel and viator.
