★★★★★Viator review
Great Costa Rica experience
Richard_G, April 2026
Highly recommend this tour - thanks to Larry (tour guide) and Eric (driver) we had a great day. We were picked up right outside the cruise terminal. Learnt so much about the culture and customs of Limon. Larry was excellent explaining the workings of the banana plantation. Enjoyed the canal boat ride where we made many stops to see a variety of birds, monkeys, sloths and crocodiles. Had a really fun time - great way to see parts of Costa Rica via a cruise ship.

Manuel was an excellent guide! We enjoyed his enthusiasm and knowledge of the area. We saw so many types of birds, sloths, howler monkeys, iguanas, lizards and more. We also had the opportunity to taste different fruit, coffee and food. The working banana plantation was very interesting.
