This was a great tour to... - This was a great tour to see the culture and country outside of the port area. The boat ride down the Tarcoles River was fun. We saw many crocodiles and native birds. Lunch was quite good and the visitor center was very nice. Our guide Pablo was fantastic. He and the bus driver were very attentive and provided so much information about Puntarenas, its history and current day happenings. Definitely take this tour if you are going to Puntarenas.

Awesome day!! - Had an awesome day. Started the day right on time. Was met at the cruise port with a sign with my name. Went straight to the monkeys. They were so fun and cute. We were given bananas to feed them which made them jump all over you. (Just be sure to wear darker clothes if you want them on you but not the dirt) the next stop was a fruit stand. So yummy. They cut up fresh yellow watermelon, pineapple, and mango. Such a nice snack. Our next stop was the river which we say so many birds and crocodiles. After the river cruise we drove around and found more monkeys and red macaw’s. The last stop was lunch and the butterfly garden. It was cafeteria style so you could choose your salad and protein. Both my husband and I enjoyed it!! Pablo was great and stayed with us the entire time providing so much information. When we returned to the port we did a small city tour. We saw so much in a short amount of time. It ended up just us so a private tour. We saw so much more than the cruise excursions. When we returned to the ship a lot of the excursions were promised monkeys and wildlife viewing which they never saw any. Would totally recommend booking with Pablo. Just do it. You won’t find a better tour.

Best tour we have ever booked - Pablo is by far the best tour guide we have come across, he is so knowledgeable and passionate about his country that he brings everything to life. We disembarked from the ship to be greeted by his smiling face and he immediately offered us cold water and escorted us to our private mini bus. The trip was said to be 5/6 hours duration but as we had time he extended this to 7 hours, lunch was included and very tasty. It was clear that Pablo had been a tour guide for many years and known to everyone we met, which meant a great experience for us. Throughout the day he took loads of photos and at the end of the trip Air dropped them all to our phones, a great bonus. Throughout the trip he ensured we all had wi-fi connected via his second phone. Cost of this trip was 75% cheaper than same style of trip offered by cruise line but was totally private not on a 50 seat coach, we did and experienced more than other cruisers missing all the lines. Best tour we have ever booked
