Small Group Twilight Wildlife Boat Tour in La Fortuna

Cool experience to be on the river at sunset and as the sun went down. Lots of animals become active at this time and the mosquitoes weren’t as active in this area (much more at rio Celeste). Peaceful, beautiful, we felt very safe (we wondered about that haha). Our guide, Kato, was very knowledgeable and pointed out and explained everything we were experiencing, from the nature to the animals. We spotted many different species of monkeys, the “Jesus Christ” iguana, bats that flew over the water, even a small caiman. The plants and vines draped over the water and created beautifully green tunnels as we slowly drifted down the calm water. It was very relaxing and we highly recommend

My (adult) daughter and I had a very pleasant twilight boat ride on the river. This was our 3rd guided activity out of La Fortuna this week with Flow Trips, all arranged by our U.S. travel agency. For the Twilight river safari, we sat in the same type of large, sturdy, inflatable raft that we went on the day before for whitewater rafting. The safari ride is a much more relaxed experience. Our guide, Cato, paddled the boat while pointing out various birds, a white faced capuchin monkey, a tyrag(?) animal, and a family of howler monkeys. We ended up in a heavy rainstorm for half of our ride, but we still enjoyed listening to the birds and howling monkeys. We rated this a 4 out of 5 because we liked our more active kayaking and whitewater rafting tours with Flow more - personal preference. Our Flow Tours driver and tour guide were extremely organized, gave us (required) life vests, helped us get in and out of the boat as needed, and served us locally made tamales wrapped in banana leaves and cold drinks at the end of our tour.

I had a really good time! Met really nice people and the guide was very helpful and told us a lot about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica.
