Another amazing Estuary tour with Discover Tamarindo - For me the most memorable part of any of my tours are finding new birds to add to my life list along with getting great photos of birds and other wildlife. This tour was no exception as I captured 3 new bird species. "Lifers" a Muscoy Duck, Reddish Egret, and a Plumbeous Kite. Our guide and captain was Juan Carlos again and with my trip to Costa Rica back in Nov 2023 it was nice to see him again. His friendly demeanor, English, knowledge and professionalism as a guide is absolutely amazing. Thanks again Juan Carlos.

Relaxing and enjoyable - The tour was nice a relaxing boat ride on the river. Especially if your day before was long. Our guide(apologies I do not know his name or his assistants). We're both so gracious and we enjoyed listening to our guide. A little snack of fresh pineapple, always the best when fresh. We saw birds, monkeys and crocodiles. Mangrove trees are beautiful. Learned nice facts about the trees I never knew. If you need a laid back day I suggest this tour.

An abundance of wildlife! - Our group of 6 had a fabulous time on this tour. Moises was an excellent and knowledgeable guide who shared his knowledge of plants and animals in the mangroves. It was evident that he cares deeply for the environment and shared the ecological importance of the area. I would highly recommend the tour if you want to see crocodiles, monkeys and an abundance of birds in their natural habitat.

Don't miss the Mangrove tour!! Ask for Christian, you won't regret it. - Christian was an awesome guide! He took us through the mangroves, saw many birds, crocodile, bats, howler monkeys. He was SO knowledgable and interesting.I HIGHLY recommend him as a guide.

Amazing experience! - It was amazing! Me and my kids loved it! Would absolutely recommend. We learned so much and saw so many birds, crocodiles, and howler monkeys

Great morning tour with knowledgeable guide - My sister and I wanted to find an opportunity that wouldn’t be so far from Tamarindo to see some animals. This tour was a great experience and we felt like we were in a totally different place and not the busy beach area. The owner communicated well with us and was able to adjust our tour start time to begin earlier before the low tide set in. This ended up being a great decision and Moises was able to point out a lot of animals (birds, crocodiles, bats and monkeys) to us. In addition to pointing out the animals, Moises also shared a lot of knowledge about them so we ended up learning quite a bit of new facts! This tour also included the transportation which was great and our driver Verny was kind and took us back to central tamarindo instead of our hotel as per our request. Overall, recommend this tour if you want to learn new things about these animals and admire some of the nature that is so close to the busy beach area.

Nice BoatRide - Very informative guide. Crocodiles were very shy and we only saw part of a baby hiding in the mangroves Howler monkeys were sleeping, so no howling. Not as many birds as I had hoped, just a few herons.

Everything that I expected and more. - This tour was worth doing, Close to our resort the ride was short and the driver extremely friendly. Once on site we met the boat captain Moses and to my surprise the guide was Juan Carlos who I met on a birdwatching tour a few days earlier. He was extremely knowledgeable and fluent in both languages provided the guests with many opportunities to see wildlife. Knowing that my focus was birds while he was looking for monkeys for the other guests to see he located a Juvenile Long-tailed Manikin (type of bird) for me that I was able to capture. The trip was great. The only thing that I wish they could change and they probably offer if I asked them is the opportunity to go earlier in the morning and spend more time looking for birds where we went to see the monkeys.

It was nice - It was nice to sail through the mangroves, but I imagined it would be more spectacular. We saw a few birds and a small crocodile that had just climbed onto a sandbank. I couldn't spot the other two crocodiles that the guide saw. To compensate, we stopped and were able to get out to see monkeys up close. The group was a bit too big for me. Because of the low tide, we ran aground several times...

This was the worst tour I... - This was the worst tour I have ever been on. It is a complete waste of money. The driver was late, we weren’t even on the boat for the full 2 hours even though they kept telling us we would be. We barely saw any animals and our tour guide kept telling us how other companies were doing dangerous things to see the animals and how dangerous it is to be to be on land around the monkeys. At the end he then told us that if we want to see the monkeys we have to hike to see them which is not mentioned in the tour explanation. Also it was very frustrating that he talked about how dangerous it was to see them and then offered to see them at the end at our own risk. It was very disappointing. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. We wasted our time and money.
