The tour was perfect for what we wanted. We got to see the town, the monkey house, the boat tour was fabulous, the bus was comfortable. The driver was good and Hazel our tour guide was unbelievable! Knowledgeable, friendly, sweet, interesting. Then we went up to a restaurant on a hill with breathtaking views of the mountains, and the ocean and the food was fabulous! I would highly recommend this tour. They were very responsible in getting us back to our ship with plenty of time to spare. The pick up was simple, right at the end of the dock and they were waiting there for us. I can only say wonderful things about our guide Hazel, our driver and the tour. Very reputable tour company Odyssey Tours,!

Everything very good, except our lunch in restaurant, where was a lot flies. We got a lot of fun with monkeys 🐵 and the excellent river tour. We enjoyed by the wild nature of Costa Rica!🇨🇷

Great experience, booked directly and not through cruise. Very good value. Really enjoyed! Super friendly host and packed a lot of interesting things in!

Very professional. Prompt Comfortable van Two thumbs way, way up to our guide, Hazel, who was incredible. Very knowledgeable and informative with a keen eye for spotting wildlife. She took the time to ensure we all got opportunities to see the wildlife and answered all our questions. If we return, I would ask for her by name.

We had a fabulous day doing the 10 in 1 tour. Our guide, Hazel and our driver, Michael were amazing! We had a group of 15 and everyone had a great time. All Odyssey Tours are fantastic. We have done many and would highly recommend Odyssey Tours in Costa Rica. Alvaro and Diego are the greatest! We saw so many monkeys, crocodiles and 18 spieces of birds. The lunch was delicious!

I had a great trip to Jaco - it rained every day that I was there but I still got to see the monkeys and butterflies. I also went to a chocolate class. I don't think I will go back but that's just because there are so many other places I want to go. I would recommend going but not during the rainy season.

Michael was a great driver. Hazel was awesome during the tour. Would recommend it to anyone looking to see wildlife here in Costa Rica.

I would recommend their services. They were on time for my arrival and departure for the airport. Got us there safe and return us safe.

I was disappointed in this tour. First of all, I tried to communicate with Odyssey tours in the days leading up to our cruise, because I wanted to confirm the meeting point for the tour before we boarded a ship with limited , but they did not respond to messages through their email link and did not answer their phone. I finally contacted Viator and someone from Odyssey finally got back to me. Then, while on our cruise ship, the evening before we were to dock in Costa Rica, we got an email that they wanted us to meet at 0730 instead of 0800 "due to a change in the ship arrival and departure times" (there was no change in our cruise itinerary, so this was obviously for the convenience of Odyssey Tours). We did arrive at the meeting point at 0730, but obviously not everyone got the message, because we sat on the bus until 0800 anyway, waiting for the last passengers. The bus: A 22-passenger minibus with tiny seats and no leg room. I am only 5'8", but my knees were smashed against the seat in front of me. I can't imagine a 6'2" dude sitting in those seats. The back row of seats were raised, even though the ceiling back there was low, and the last couple to get on the bus looked at the seating and said, "No way" and left the bus. I can't imagine anyone over 5 feet tall fitting into those back seats. Our guide Hazel did speak English, but was sometimes difficult to understand due to her accent. The biggest problem though was that she did not use a microphone or amplifier, so we could not hear most of what she said over the noise of the engine. We asked her at least three times to speak louder, and she would, briefly, and then revert to her normal volume. She actually spent most of the drive talking only to the passengers in front of the bus. She never repeated their questions for the rest of us to hear, so we had no idea what she was speaking about. The "scenic overlook" we stopped at was mostly blocked by trees, but we did get a glimpse of the ocean. We went to something called "Monkey House" (according to the handprinted sign on a piece of old wood), which appeared to be someone's back yard. There were capuchin monkeys running and swinging around everywhere. Some jumped onto the guests' shoulders. If you like that sort of thing, great, but it was a little overwhelming for me. I got a few good pictures of monkeys. Next we went to the Hotel Villa Lapas, where they had a re-creation of a jungle village, with a cantina and a chapel. We did see some interesting plants there, but it was a re-creation, with a gift shop (of course). Next we took a river cruise on a tour boat. Had to wait 10 or 15 minutes in the heat to board the boat. We did see 3 crocodiles, though none of them were out of the water. We also saw several birds. The tour boat basically stayed fairly near the dock, going upriver a bit, then downriver a bit, and appeared to have engine trouble at one point, as there were 4 guys leaning out the back doing something to the motor for awhile. The boat was shaded, so that was a good thing. Lunch at an open-air restaurant was good. Chicken, beef, or seafood over rice and salad (though no salad dressing) with some sort of flavored lemonade to drink. After lunch, most of our stops were for shopping (3 stops). If we went into or through Carara National Park, I was not specifically aware of it and did not see any signs. I'm still not exactly sure what the 10 things in this 10-in-1 tour were. I counted the scenic overlook, the monkey house, the hotel with re-created village, the river cruise, lunch, and 3 shopping stops. This company needs to at least put a microphone/amplifier on their bus and not sell the back row of seats to anyone over the age of 8. I would not take this tour again.

We had a very disappointing experience with Odyssey. We book the tour several weeks in advance and were told to arrive at 8 in the morning. We arrived at 7:45 and was greeted by Diego. He said there were three seats left in the back. The back seats have a bulkhead so only people under 5 feet 6 inches could sit there. My husband is over 6 feet tall and would not fit. The bus left without us and Diego said that we were late arriving and that the seats remaining would have be adequate. I got upset and told him otherwise. DO NOT BOOK WITH ODYSSEY.

Excellent trip for anyone who wants to see nature, flora and fauna of Costa Rica and Central America. We visited San Jose, the rain forest, dry forest, the beach and Pacific ocean. We learned so much and saw so much on this 11 day trip: Plants, flowers, trees, animals, monkeys, crocodiles, butterflies, bats, much more. The country is beautiful, and the people are welcoming. We highly recommend Odyssey Unlimited for this small group trip (18 max).

We went to the Ponderosa safari and had a fabulous time. We did the zip line, safari and lunch. As always, Odyssey tours did it right. We enjoyed Alvaro and Nancy as our tour guides! We highly recommend Odyssey tours in Costa Rica!

The trip was good but we didn't get to do everything that was advertised, which was disappointing. We got back just after 3pm , so we had enough time to do all 10 activities. We only did 7.

Fantastic small group tour! Our driver, Pablo, was so skillful getting around, and our guide, Alberto, was so nice and knowledgeable. I think my favorite part of the tour was the Monkey House. Imagine living in the jungle with all of those monkeys as neighbors! We saw a lot of different birds on the river. The crocodiles were scarce and lazy, which was fine by me. Lunch was delicious! The scenery is spectacular. Thank you, Odyssey Day Tours. Well done!

I joined 11 other folks on this tour of Manuel Antonio Park. This is one of the tours that originates in Jaco, so I was able to get picked up in Esterillos Oueste. We stopped at a little bakery in Parrita where I got a delicious spicy and savory arreglada and some coffee. The guide let us know our lunch choices and put in the order ahead of time so the meal was ready when we arrived at the restaurant in Quepos after the park tour. The walk in the park followed the main path to the beach. We walked slowly and our guide expertly picked out multiple flora and fauna. He took photos through the scope and shared them with us after. We saw all the usuals. At the beach we had an hour to swim or walk around. **Notes about the park: Lunch wasn’t until 2 (no food allowed in the park ), so plan accordingly. I would have eaten two arregladas! Even if you have been traveling with and reusing the same plastic water bottle for two weeks, if it is of the sort that can be bought already containing water, it is not allowed in the park. You will have to buy an expensive, cheaply made plastic or metal bottle just outside the entrance, which the vendor will fill from plastic disposable water bottles. Lol.
