Our guide was great. We saw lots of crocs , iguanas, Jesus Christ lizards, heron, capuchin and howler monkeys and the pair of scarlet macaws was a highlight. The meal was great and our guide was very knowledgeable.

Crocodiles resting, showing their jaws, swimming! Beautiful birds in flight or just posing for pictures! Guide and boat operators with eagle eyesight, spotting everything there is to see. Nice lunch at a local place with friendly staff.

We had a knowledgeable driver/guide who knows the history of Costa Rica, the wildlife on the river and shared a lot about the culture. We had a great pilot on the boat and got us close to the birds, crocs and monkeys. The traditional lunch at the ranch was extra special and very tasty.
