About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- glucklandei0 contributionsTransport from JSO to Jaco beachFive out of five the Sevice was exceptional I would 100% recommend this company. It was a good experience overall, if I come back to coast rica I will book again with them.Written August 2, 2024
- reggied1430 contributionsGreat experienceThe pick up process was very easy. They had a really nice guy with a sign with our name on it. Our driver was extremely helpful and friendly. Alvaro was helpful with making sure everything went smoothly.Written July 5, 2024
- ytrain0 contributionsClose encounter with white face monkeysI took my children on the monkey grove tour in Costa Rica and it was INCREDIBLE. We got to encounter white face monkeys up close. Our guide was knowledgeable on the history & animals of Costa Rica. The boat captain navigated the river effortlessly and help spot snakes in the trees, sloths (2 & 3 toe), Jesus Christ lizards, plus plenty of other critters & plant life. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. This was a priceless experience.Written June 23, 2024
- jsoleado70 contributionsHighly Recommend Going w A Guide!Albert was a phenomenal, and very *patient* guide. We had some people in our group that lagged behind, kept getting lost and almost lost their bag. Through it all, Albert maintained a smile and friendly disposition. Not everyone is capable of that! Enjoyed my experience, weather was great, food was great, glad I went!Written June 9, 2024
- zuneray0 contributionsExcellent tour.Excellent Tour! Definitely recommend!!! It was awesome & highlight was feeding the monkeys. We saw bats & a sloth as well!Written May 12, 2024
- falyny20210 contributionsGreat Shuttle RideOur transportation from Jaco back to San Jose with Odyssey was so easy and nice! The van was nice and new and our driver was super friendly. We stopped at a national park on our way back and they were super accommodating the whole time. If you are coming in or out of San Jose and need a shuttle this is the way to go!Written April 23, 2024
- jennf9160 contributionsEnjoyableReally enjoyed this adventure. Your guide was so entertaining and knowledgeable. It was so fun feeding the monkeys. Recommend this out for any age .Written March 22, 2024
- carolinemN6151ME0 contributionsNot as expectedThis tour was not as expected. We did get to see some monkeys and after a lot of effort from our guide, the monkeys came to the boat and we were able to get cute pictures with them and feed them some bananas. It was a great experience, especially for my 12 year old son. The negative points: we were sitting on the very last bench on the boat next to the outboard which made it verry difficult to hear anything the guide was saying. I would suggest a microphone/speaker system. Also, this is not what I would call a boat tour. You basically ride out in a very shallow and narrow river for 5 minutes then stop for the monkeys. If you just want to see the monkeys then great, if not this "tour" is not for you.Written March 18, 2024
- nicoleaT88YW0 contributionsHighlight of our tripSuch an amazing tour! Tons of monkeys! Our tour guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable and had a real love for the monkeys and mangroves. Highlight of our trip!Written March 13, 2024
- FellowTraveler2269460 contributionsWorst Tour Operator EverWhrn i booked the tour, it asked me where my location was for pickup. I gave my cirrect information. This was on a Monday and the tour was scheduled fir Thursday. My tour was scheduled for 9:30am. About 18 hours before the tour, the tour operator emailed me and said the starting time was changed to 7:30am. No offer to reschedule, no offer of refund. Just an announcement. Then, about 8 hours before the tour, I got an email that they were unable to pick us up as it was too far. First of all, they had over THREE days to ley us know they works not be able to pick us up. If they had, we could have either arranged fir transport or canceled. When this was brought up, the operator sent me a nasty message saying, "im sorry you cant read." Secondly, the fact that the operator changed the time last minute with no offer of any other accommodation is unprofessional. DON'T USE THIS TOUR COMPANY.Written March 9, 2024
- chernyd20240 contributionsMonkey show, not a nature experienceWe had a brand new minivan expertly driven by Alan who gave us lots of interesting information about the sites we passed on the way to the mangrove. He stopped briefly at a palm plantation and showed us how the fruit is harvested for oil, which was great. The Monkey Mangrove tour was nice, but our guide "mad Alex" was more interested in showing off his animal calls than actually explaining much about the wildlife. And he totally ignored the sign asking people not to feed the animals. He repeatedly lured monkeys into the boat with bananas for photo ops and, presumably, tips. More like a show than a nature experience.Written February 28, 2024
- ernestw9250 contributionsExciting Tour at Monkey MangroveWe learned many interesting facts regarding the white face monkeys and how they perform as a family/group. Recommend everyone that visits Costa Rica consider this tour.Written February 17, 2024
- Robin M0 contributionsDefinitely worth it!Excellent tour. We saw several groups of monekys up close along with iguanas and birds. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. Well worth your time and money to go on this tour. I would go on this tour again.Written January 31, 2024
- Suzanne W0 contributionsThis is a Must Do in Quepos!This is a must do if you’re in the area of Quepos. Diego, a monkey expert, guided our group through the mangroves and educated us in the flora and fauna. He pointed out numerous animals and plants and then called the monkeys. Within a short time they came over to Diego and he started respectfully interacting with them. He has been doing this for 23 years and knows most of the monkeys by name. Beautiful setting, comfortable boat, knowledgeable guide. Fun for everyone!Written December 20, 2023
- janinesW6787PP0 contributionsGreat Tour!Awesome tour! Learned so much about the area including the Palm Trees, Mangrove, Monkeys and other animals. Tour guide was great!Written September 26, 2023

Fantastic tour in Jaco, my family and I are grateful for the excellent service they provided. We begin the adventure visit the Tarcoles Bridge and Carara Park where we manage to observe wildlife in the jungle, besides we observe Golfo of Nicoya. We visit beaches and take a rest on one of the beautiful beaches we visited, it is a unique tour and the experience would repeat it again

Our Windstar cruise stops at Bahia herradura on 12-6.-19. Not sure where the zodiacs will drop us off. Will you be able to meet us for a pickup for this tour. Do you know where we will be landing? Thanks in advance for your response....JIM
Written August 4, 2019
Hi Jim, sometimes they tender the passengers to the Marina los sueños and other times on small boats to bay in Herradura, for either way we do pick up around there for our tours for sure.
