They were less expensive than Eric and we felt more assured going with an... More

We were looking for a tour we could go on by ourselves, well this is one we found. When we called to make reservations, we were told to meet them by a Gas Station near Filadelfia. The back roads being a bit difficult to navigate...no signs! They were right on time and very gracious to the 4 or 5 carloads... More

We did 1/2 day tour and that was plenty of time. Got a tour of small town, went to this place where we got off bus and had fresh fruit and a little store, then got on boat and went sown river and spotted several crocodiles, iguanas, birds and monkeys. Didn't even need bug spray. Got tons of cool pictures,... More

We traveled from the Hilton Pap. Resort with our guide Jon. The whole ride alone to the River was filled with information about Costa Rica from agriculture to the state of the economy.

Then we went to his eco farm where we enjoy an incredible lunch where we ate the best lunch in my stay and... More

But our guide Christhiam Carrillo has lived in the area his whole life and is intimately familiar with the sounds and habitats of... More

Thie was one of the most enjoyable nature "cruises" we've ever taken. We were on a small motor boat cruising the river that flows through this park with about 12 other travelers plus a guide. We went with a company called MOnkey Tours. They picked us up at our hotel in Samara, fed us lunch, motored us down the river... More

I booked this trip with Erik Garcia of Conchal Adventures (On the beach outside the Westin Playa Conchal) for my family of 4 to Palo Verde. We negotiated a good price and I paid a deposit. An example of how honest Erik is came that evening, he phoned the room to explain a change in meeting location that another family... More

The price was $58/person, which included a 2-hour boat tour with English-speaking guide and delicious lunch... More
