Monkey Crocodile Sloths and Beach Experience





Description
We will visit the sanctuary of the white-faced capuchin monkeys, the most intelligent species of monkeys in the new world. Our visit will be safe and informative for everyone, from children to adults. We’ll learn about their family organization, alphas, and betas, and how to calculate their age. During these tours people are not allowed to touch the animals, but animals if they feel comfortable allowed to touch people. They are still wild animals and we are not violating their habitat. We don't allowed to feed them as well We’ll then see the crocodiles of Rio Grande de Tarcoles and enjoy the local souvenir sale and a buffet-style restaurant. We can choose to admire the crocodiles from the bridge or take a boat tour for an extra $43. The boat tour lasts approximately 1:40 minutes and includes bird watching and a naturalist guide. We’ll then go to a hidden beach in Jaco to see the sloths. We’ll sit on chairs, have a table, and I’ll serve drinks and snacks.

Absolutely loved the monkey experience. Gerald was a very nice and informative guide and made sure we all had a chance to interact with the monkeys if we wanted. He also made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. The crocodile part was not great since we just saw one from far above but it was a risk we understood. Sloths were very high up but we brought binoculars and the guides brought a scope for us to use as well. In total we were happy with the experience. One caution, be prepared for traffic delays, not under control by the guides.
This experience was more than we even expected. Our guide, Geriald, was so knowledgeable and kind and I can’t imagine someone doing a better job. The other guide Jose was also so special, and was sweet to my inquisitive son. The monkey part was our favorite and is a must do! We also had lunch at an authentic soda which our family said was the best of the whole trip. We did see sloths and even a baby one 🥹 Highly recommend this tour - the cost is so reasonable for what you get. Hopefully you get Geriald and Jose!
We had an amazing time on this excursion! We stopped at the famous crocodile bridge where crocodiles are usually seen, but there weren’t any out during our visit. That didn’t matter because we saw tons of monkeys, got to feed them, and even spotted several sloths high up in the trees. The guide was very knowledgeable, and we learned so much about the monkeys, sloths, and the local wildlife, making the tour both fun and very educational. The tour also included an authentic, typical Costa Rican meal at Restaurante Vinicio el Chef, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this excursion if you want to experience Costa Rica’s incredible wildlife while learning about it and enjoying authentic local cuisine.
Excellent trip and tour operators! Definitely would recommend. Best tour and guides all trip. On time, saw monkeys, crocs and sloths.
We take your wonderful review as a compromise to keep doing what we do Being the best We wish you the best in life and hopefully there is going to be a next time.
Extremely knowledgable and kind. Took us to a really beautiful restaurant. We saw two sloths a little far away but he had equipment so we could have a closer encounter.
Gerald was amazing and told us a lot about his beautiful country. His English was excellent and he worked EXTREMELY hard to ensure we had the best possible experience. We traveled with a group of 6. Two in their mid 70's and two kids ages 14 and 11. I would highly recommend using this company as our experience was wonderful.
A unique and memorable experience! We loved the interaction with the monkeys and our driver, Jocelyn, went out of her way to make sure we got to see sloths before she dropped us back off at our lodging. A wonderful tour!
We are happy to have exceeded your expectations. Thank you for your time and for being part of this wild experience. We wish you the best in your future. Thank you and pura vida 🇨🇷
My girlfriend and I had a great experience. We were able to see and interact with the monkeys and learned a lot of cool information! The crocodile’s were cool to see from the viewpoint. Lunch was provided and very good! We also got to see a sloth in its natural habitat. Would recommend, a perfect way to spend the morning!!
Thank you for trusting in our knowledge! There is nothing like seeing animals in their natural habitat. We will be here for the best next experience! “More than a tour is the experience of your lifetime”
This was a great way to spend the morning! We spent time with monkeys, saw the crocs and found 2 sloths! One of the people in the group isn’t a huge animal lover and still really enjoyed. The tour was informative, fun, and overall very worth it.
Thank you for reviewing our job. We loved every single second of it Sharing the best of my country. There is going to be a next time for sure Gracias y pura vida 🇨🇷
The monkeys alone make this tour worth it! Geirold and his team’s passion for their country and its wildlife truly shines through. We had an amazing, interactive experience with the monkeys in a private sanctuary, saw crocodiles, and were lucky enough to spot three sloths. Geirold’s telescope gave us an incredible close-up view of their little faces, which was such a special touch. The authentic lunch was another highlight. Overall, this tour was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Thank you for recommending us! We are happy to know that we exceed your expectations. We hope to see you in the future. People like deserve all the good things of the world 🌎 Gracias y pura vida 🇨🇷
