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, crocodiles, sloths, oh my!! ❤️ - We had the most amazing day with Geirold as our guide. The monkey excursion is unbeatable & Geirold will help you have an experience that you are comfortable with. We loved having the monkeys on our heads, shoulders, and arms!!! The crocodiles that we saw were HUGE! Brunch was so fresh and delicious. Best traditional Costa Rican food that we’ve eaten! And finally since Geirold is an ecotourism expert, we got to see a female, 2-toe sloth in the wild just off a beautiful, secluded beach. A rave review for this activity!!

Our first tour in Costa Rica - Geriold was an amazing tour guide extremely knowledgeable at his craft. My family enjoyed the private tour, the conversations about life in Costa Rica, the food that was served, and the views. Thank you Geriold for providing such a great experience for us to share.

Incredible and Unforgettable Experience - Geirold made this an absolutely incredible and unforgettable experience for me and my friends. I’m so happy we found his tour. We started by seeing the most amazing capuchin monkeys, with a couple carrying their babies. They got very close and were very friendly, they were even crawling on us. Next we visited the crocodile bridge where we saw two crocodiles right away, it was incredible they even put on a show and moved around and swam. We then got a delicious breakfast/lunch (we had the option between either) where we saw howler monkeys in the trees. Geirold is so prepared he had a telescope ready for us to get a closer look. After lunch we hit the white sand beach where we visited the sloth sleeping in the coconut tree. There were so many capuchin monkeys here too, many with there babies, it was absolutely incredible. Before we left we caught the sloth moving its resting spot to a new tree. Geirold was so informative and was a big reason why this was such an amazing experience. I highly, highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to see and experience the incredible beauty and wildlife of Costa Rica.
