Odyssey and the Mangrove Monkey tour rocked it! - You wanna get personal with some monkeys? Then this tour is for you! Our guide was awesome. Famous crazy Alex. The mangrove environment was amazing as well. Thank you Odyssey tours for taking care of us. Our driver took us to a place to eat at our request.

Highly recommend - It was outstanding. We saw everything we hoped to see and more. The tour was informative - and of course seeing the monkeys up close was amazing.
(And try the empanadas after the tour. They are excellent!)

Tour guide was so... - Tour guide was so knowledgeable about all of different wildlife we saw. Loved learning about it all. We saw all kinds of animals; sloth, anteater, Jesus Christ lizards, vultures, white face capuchin monkeys, raccoons, turtle, snake, and more! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience! - Definitely worth the money! Our guide, Jonny, was very knowledgeable and very helpful. We saw monkeys, two toed sloths and many other animals. We enjoyed learning about the history of the mangroves too!

Monkeys and Mangroves Boat Tour excellent! - Excellent! Shuttle bus pick up in Jaco included and our driver Ronnie explained all about the palm oil plantations. Once at the monkey mangrove boat tour, we had more demonstration about how the dates are harvested, a short medicinal plant walk and folks got to sit on or pet a rescue water buffalo. Finally the boat which was full, about 20 folks. We say iguanas, a tiger heron and finally white faced monkeys that got very close and climbed onto the boat. Memo was an excellent guide but a got a bit too preachy about the environmental message at the end. We’re all nature lovers, so a bit of preaching to the choir.

Half day experience on a working farm and mangrove-mangrove river - Wonderful experience experiencing the flora and fauna. We were introduced to agricultural practices and working animals and the mangrove river experience. The monkeys were awesome! Our guide was articulate in the English language and very knowledgeable! A definite must do experience. I think the evening tours see more wildlife

We enjoyed our monkey... - We enjoyed our monkey tour. There is a lot more to see on the tour than we expected from the farm with water buffalo, chickens and donkeys to the wildlife of birds, lizards, monkeys, bats and iguanas there was always something to look at>

Beautiful scenery and wild critters! - Guide and driver were prompt, professional and friendly. We had a small and comfortable van transport from our property to the mangroves, about 1 hr 45 minutes from Jaco. The boat ride was great, saw so many monkeys—-they hopped onto the boat and I wondered if they sre becoming too tame around people?

Not worth it…. We were... - Not worth it…. We were hoping that we got Alex but we didn’t. I forget the guides name who we got. We only saw a couple of monkeys because a woman on a separate tour was feeding them bananas. Had her tour not been there we wouldn’t have seen any. This was our only disappointing tour in Costa Rica.

Long ride from Jaco - We had 2 hours in a van (one hour each way) that we were not aware of. We waited for another group, then toured their farm before the boat ride. Our guide was great, but only saw 2-3 monkeys. Make sure and wear a hat!
