Wildlife Safari Float Tour von La Fortuna-Arenal

Carlos, our guide was amazing. We had a group of 5 ranging in age from 30 to 83. The river was moving fast due to recent rains. We saw Sloth, a group of at least 20 howler monkeys, ring kingfisher, a couple different types of heron, Jesus lizards, many other birds. Carlos got in the water to hold the raft still so we could get good views of the wildlife. The float was a little fast but not white water, it's usually slower. We had a nice snack at the end at a small Cafe with beautiful gardens & were served fruit drinks, plantain, cheese, and a baked dessert. Carlos made sure my mother was safely able to get in and out of the raft. They use larger rafts than others we saw go by and ours seemed more stable. There are 8 to 12 concrete steps to get down to the water, it can be a little muddy at the bottom. Bring binoculars, dry bag and keep hold of your cell phone or bring a holder for it around your neck. The outer rim on the floor of the raft holds water. Don't want to drop thing in the raft as it slides right into that wet area. Dry bag is helpful &,water shoes. Did not notice any bugs or mosquitoes. Carlos was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife, the river, etc. Great job!!

The river float tour was very enjoyable, we saw many animals including an otter, howler monkeys, caiman and birds. Our guide Josue was really knowledgeable and friendly.

What an amazing tour from start to finish!! Everything the guides told us we would se we did! We saw beautiful country and wildlife. We saw howler monkeys, white face monkeys, toucan, turtle, striker fish and owls. Guides were amazing. Highly recommend Enzo, Sevie and the driver Eduardo. We learned so much about Costa Rica and they also gave great recommendations for restaurants and other activities. We had ages from 87 to 17. Everyone enjoyed it. I would recommend going first tour of day to see more wildlife. We ended visiting with a local family and it was wonderful!
