An excellent day from hotel pick up to hotel return. Boat ride, lots of wild life, climb to the viewing point, turtle beach and lunch in a local restaurant.

Luis was a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It was a joy spending the day with him. We saw plenty of wildlife and learned a lot. We highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for choosing Greenway Nature Tours! It's great to hear you enjoyed the wildlife, the landscapes, and the service from our guides. Pura vida, and see you next time!
Excellent guide, very informative, very organized, friendly and highly recommended! The reserve provides a great view of animals and life cycle. All was done in spite of road closure, rain, etc! Well done!
Thank you for your positive review about our tour and staff. We are so happy to hear that you enjoy your day with us.
Josue Luna was an amazing guide. He stayed with us on the private tour. Easy to hold a conversation with…his English is great. He studied English and then biology. We did not see as many animals as one would hope - but that depends on the day and season so is hit and miss. We saw a red poisonous dart frog, monkeys high in tall trees, various lizards and birds. The private boat ride with a water taxi driver was nice. The driver slowed and pulled over when something of interest was spotted - so we could take photos. The Caribbean traditional lunch was tasty.

We had an absolutely fabulous day with Luis - he loves what he does and it shows. We were able to see a great deal - even he was excited to see a river otter. The tour was perfect - but combined with his knowledge of the animals, it was truly fantastic.
We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience. Hope to serve you again in the near future.
We are satisfied with this excursion! There were only 2 of us for the day, it was great, plus the weather was on our side! The guide was great!

We enjoyed the expert guidance of Alberto in orchestrating a memorable day exploring the varied wildlife-birds, monkeys, reptiles and sloths. The round trip boat excursion provided another perspective from the rainforest walk.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope to serve you again in the near future.
Amazing day out! Luis was fabulous , professional, knowledgeable & could answer all of our questions. He speaks fluent English and was very helpful on every topic and question we asked. It was a big day of driving but was very worth it . We saw a sloth, lots of crocodiles, iguanas, birds, spider & howler monkeys. The view at the lookout lovely although it was raining on and off it was still wonderful. The local restaurant lunch was delicious too! Highly recommend this tour.
