Great adventure- monkeys were the highlight - We had a wonderful time on this half day trip. The monkeys were the definite highlight and our 8year old daughter loved interacting with them. We then went to the crocodile viewing bridge which is interesting and only necessary for a quick stop, which they did well. We then had a lovely traditional Costa Rican early lunch with multiple options. My daughter loved her chicken and the fish and chicken/rice dishes were excellent too. Our final stop was at Playa Blanca to see a sloth in a low palm tree so we got a great look at the sloth before heading back to our hotel. Overall an excellent experience and our host was very knowledgeable and the van was spacious and clean.

Don’t miss this!! - We started out early looking for sloths, and our guide didn’t disappoint! We found two in the first ten minutes. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife! After that we went to see the monkeys. Although it was a bit of a drive, it was defiantly worth it! Lots of monkeys, and they were very interactive. Again, he knew his stuff about the monkeys. After that was a great lunch, and crocodiles! Highly recommend!!!

Spectacular! - Wow! This tour was absolutely amazing! Geriold and his assistant Jose did an amazing job with our private tour. My husband and I paid a little more and they picked us up in their SUV at Puerto Caldera. Then, they drove the two of us around and taught us so much about Costa Rica's wildlife. The monkeys were incredible! The crocodiles were stunning! The sleeping sloth momma and her precious baby were unforgettable! The lunch was delicious! Jaco beach was beautiful! Even more importantly, Geriold and Jose truly cared that we got the best tour. They clearly take a lot of pride in the service they provide and it made everything about the tour special. I highly recommend this tour or any tour by Geriold.
