After 5 great days of scuba diving, my wife and I went on the Tempisque River monkey and wildlife boat safari. Our tour guide, Jose, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. It was a great way to end our week in Costa Rica.

I received messages all week to be ready for pickup at our hotel. But, when the time came, no one showed to pick us up. When we called, there was no recollection of our trip. Some one eventually picked us up, but, I don't think we will book through trip advisor any more.
