The private tour was awesome especially since it was just 2 of us. Our guide Johan was very friendly and knowledgeable and our driver Edgar was very nice. We were able to spend a lot of time at each stop and even make a pit stop for snacks and souvenirs. Johan was a very good and patient photographer. I would do this tour again.

When you think of Costa Rica’s Caribbean shores, things like a laid-back vibe, coconut dishes and calypso might pop up in your mind. People do not necessarily come to this side of Costa Rica for its wildlife, but if you’re a big fan of Mother Nature, the flora and fauna of the eastern side of the country have a great deal to offer as well.

I was in Costa Rica in January, now I have traveled to Colombia. I have waited several months but I cannot shake how HORRIBLE this tour was. We were supposed to have a tour bus but was instead packed into a sedan. At some point the tour guide was alluding to us going to a nicer restaurant and having us pay for his lunch because the office "did not send the money over" for the included meal. I have been on many tours before and many after but this one was easily the worst. Our tour guide was out taking pictures of his own on every site instead of actually guiding us. What took the cake was when we thought we were going to see a coffee plantation but instead he pulls over on the side of the road to a ditch to show us mounds of dirt that supposedly were growing coffee and he said he couldn't take us to an actual plantation because "The Nicaraguans are harder working and the Costa Rican youth are always on their phones now so it won't be worth it". We paid 100+ dollars EACH for a glorified taxi ride across the country. 0/10 don't recommend

We will pick you at your Hotel In Puerto Viejo area between 8:00 / 8:30 AM, then our guide will take you to Cahuita National Park to have a break at the beach enjoying some fresh fruit or a coconut by the entrance of the park and then continues with a beautiful hike that goes along the beach and also through the rain forest jungle for 1.5 hrs where we are going to have the chance to see the animals in their natural habits while we enjoy the nice ocean breeze and sounds of nature. After the hike, we’ll head to Bri Bri to an Indigenous Organic Chocolate Factory. Our guide will teach you everything you need to know about cacao, chocolate history, tropical wildlife, and of course chocolate making. The Cacao is grown to make the chocolate right here among the trees. Search the world over, and you will not find a true tree to bar chocolate tour! After the chocolate tour, you will go to an amazing waterfall where you will be able to swim and take a light snack.

Highly recommend a visit. They do incredible work rescuing animals throughout the region. There is an animal hospital onsite. Those that are not able to go back in the wild are on display. We saw baby sloths, beautiful birds, spider monkeys, etc. Our English speaking guide was personable, passionate about his work, & full of fun stories & facts. Entrance fee contributes to operation of facility. I recommend bug spray before going in.

This was an excellent tour from the port for $25.00 a person. It was 3 to 3.5 hours long. We had a driver and a tour guide and both spoke english. It was a good tour and we saw a wild three toes sloth climbing down from a tree as well as a large Aguana. We tasted fruits, cocao, and coconut milk. We got to see lots of the small city and the country side.
