Additional Information

Following collection from the dock, a quick journey drives you deep into the heart of Costa Rica’s tropical rainforest. Our knowledgeable guide will share a plethora of information about our nation, encompassing history, economy, biodiversity, politics and other numerous aspects.

Upon reaching the Veragua rainforest, prepare to delve into an untouched ecosystem. You’ll saunter down accessible paths leading to the tram. Here, you’ll enter an open-air cable car that will transport you through the primary rainforest, letting you observe 300-year-old trees, and down to the river’s edge. You will then explore the Trail of the Giants, named for the massive trees bordering the river, or you may choose to hike the Puma Waterfall trail.

Board the tram back up to the top station and visit the biological research center. Following the visit to Veragua, the trip will continue to the Tortuguero Canal. The canals that flow into the Tortuguero National Park originate in the Puerto Moin region, a mere 5 miles from the heart of Limon province. At this point, you’ll get the chance to observe various wildlife species like the sloths.

This has to be on your bucket list! - This was one of the best excursions I have ever done. This was partly due to our guide Ignacio Solano. Thanks to him, we learned a lot about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica in a short time. It was, in a word, amazing!

Fun tour! - It was a fun tour! We beat the cruise ship crowds and took this fun tour. It included a short tram ride through the rainforest, a hike on either a flat trail or up and down multiple steps to a beautiful waterfall. We asked for both and they were happy to accommodate. Then a boat ride in a Canal where the drivers were very good at spotting wildlife. We saw sloths, blue butterflies, and howler monkeys! The drive to and from the rainforest was a bit longer that we expected, (about an hour), but our guide stopped frequently to show us interesting plant life and narrated the entire trip with interesting facts.

Small group size tour a must! Very personal and enjoyable! - The tour was well presented with a variety of views of the habitat. The small group size made the experience more personal and enjoyable. The guides were well informed and helped us to get the best views of the scenery and wildlife. Would definitely recommend the tour.

Interesting day out with lots of variety - Great day out with plenty to see and do. Our guide Arial was very friendly and informative and organised the day well. The impromptu stop to taste Costa Rican coffee and chocolate was a welcome addition to the itinerary. The route to the National Park is partly over an unkempt road (not the fault of the tour company) which made for an uncomfortable journey although the time at the park with our guide Roxanne more than made up for it. The boat ride was OK - not much to see and we felt that the speed of the boat made it difficult to spot and photograph any wildlife we did come across. Overall a good day out and value for money.
