Amazing tour!! - We had an amazing time on Geriold's tour. He first took us to meet the white faced monkeys, which was the highlight of the trip because they jumped all over us. Geriold was very informative and gave us a lot of great information about their habitat and family dynamic. We also went to Crocodile Bridge and ate an amazing Costa Rican lunch that my picky 9 year old loved! He then took us to see a sloth right up in the tree above us at the only white sand beach in Jaco. My kids did not want to leave! Overall it was an amazing tour and I would highly recommend it!

Book this tour!! - Our experience in Costa Rica was truly unforgettable! Seeing monkeys and sloths in their natural habitat was amazing! The highlight of our tour was our guide— extremely professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystem. Highly recommending booking this tour with Geirold! He also offers transportation to the SJO airport for a reasonable price! I did a roundtrip transportation with him and he arrived promptly and took us to our hotel while giving us recommendations on places to eat.

Monkeys were the best! - Monkeys were awesome but after that, it didn’t really deliver. Guide was great but we barely saw a croc that was small and underwater and a sloth that looked like a dark spot high up in a tree. They were working on the road so we had to wait in traffic. We spent a lot of time driving for little reward but that’s nature, I guess. We weren’t able to go on the boat ride to see the crocs bc we got back close to 2 and they leave at 12:30/1. I was disappointed bc we made the 3 hour drive from Guanacaste mainly to see them and then we had to drive3 hours back right after the tour.
