We went on the afternoon ride. It was nice and cool with the breeze. We saw lots of different birds and at least 20 crocodile! It was a very cool experience to see the crocs so close. The guides get right out and feed the crocs raw meat! It was insane if you ask me! Overall very good trip. Well... More

Wow!!! So many varieties of birds can be seen on this bird watching and crocodile watching tour. Two hours of unbelievable beauty on the Tarcoles River. The guides are very knowledgeable of the bird species that you will see sitting on the riverbank, in and on trees, flying in the air, soaring over the river. A truly remarkable tour! This... More

Highlight of the trip was a jaunt in to... More

This is an exhilarating jungle cruise on the Tarcoles River. We saw many crocodiles both small and large. We saw many species of birds. Our brochure listed 58 and I am sure we saw more then half of those listed - egrets, herons, spoonbills, sandpipers, ibis, terns, swallows, wablers and the outstanding macaws. I will always remember the sounds of... More

Great crew who kept us entertained throughout our tour. Very enthusiastic and brave getting up close and personal with the wild crocodiles. Pointed out lots of wildlife including Howler monkeys, Tiger Herons, Great White Egrets, Great Blue Herons and lots of other beautiful birds I don't remember the names of. The Costa Rican people (Ticos) are the best!!!

A boat trip on the Tarcolas river showed us one of the world’s greatest crocodile populations. The 2 hour boat trip allowed us to spot a lot of wildlife in the mangroves, near the sea and on the muddy river itself. It turned out to be a thrilling adventure as the captain got out of the boat and started luring... More
