I contacted Eduardo via the Lucky Tours website regarding a small group tour from our cruise ship. We were given easy directions to follow on where & when to meet our tour guide. Our guide Cooper, driver Eric and Eduardo ensured we had a great day. Before we even made it to the Tortuguero Canal we stopped to view and take photos of two sloths besdie the road. We joined another small group of people on the boat ride on the canal. We saw several sloths, howler monkeys, a caiman, a crocodile, several species of birds and a Basalisk lizard. My husband didn't always have enough time to get photos (with his SLR) as the boat driver turned the boat around fairly quickly. We stopped briefly at a fruit stall and tasted several different fruits. In hindsight we should have bought something to eat at the stall. Our next stop was Cahuita National Park. My DH stopped pretty early on in our walk and sat and enjoyed the breeze coming in off the ocean. We decided it was too hot to walk back via the beach. All the sloths were pretty high up in the trees, howerver we were able to get pretty good views of some of the monkeys, the racoons and the lizards we saw. We bought a bag of fresh pineapple from a stall holder at the entrance to the park as it was almost 2pm. We drove back through town and stopped at a restaurant high up above the town where we had a great view of our ship in port. Our group decided it would be good to have a drink here before returning to the port. We arrived back at the port around 3pm.
