Mangrove and Rainmaker Tours - Two great tours arranged by Alonso Hernández for us. The mangrove tour was well arranged and we saw monkeys, snakes, crocs and more. We also really enjoyed our tour of the Rainmaker Park and our guide was very knowledgeable, knowing exactly were to find the animals. Would recommend.

Amazing Family-Friendly Tour!!!!! - Alonso set us up with the monkey mangrove tour another great experience highly recommend!! We had such a fun and memorable experience on the Mangrove Monkey Boat Tour in Costa Rica! We went as a family with our kids, and it was perfect for all ages. The boat ride through the mangroves was beautiful and peaceful, and we got to see alot of wildlife up close—including, of course, the monkeys which was our favorite!
Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic, super knowledgeable, friendly, and hilarious! He kept everyone entertained with fun facts and jokes the whole time, which made the experience even better. We also really appreciated that our group wasn’t too big, so it felt more personal and relaxed.
Seeing the monkeys come right up to the boat was such a unique experience, and our kids were completely fascinated. It was both educational and fun—something we’ll all remember for a long time.
Highly recommend this tour to any families visiting the area. It’s a must-do!

Amazing tour - We had so much fun on this tour! Each of us had a monkey sit on us and got the best videos! We saw so much other wild life as well and the whole family loved it. The guide was so knowledgeable and knew every plant’s name and so much info on all of the animals. Highly recommend!

Excellent, fun and memorable. - We had a great guide who was very knowledgeable and made it fun overall. We saw sloths, boa constrictors, iguanas, Jesus Christ Lizards, and had capuchin monkeys hop on our shoulders. I highly recommend it.
Fun and quite laid back and chill.

Monkeys, crocs, cool birds and more: June 2025! - We really enjoyed our tour today with Felipe! Not only was he hilarious but he also knew all the spots to look for the animals. We enjoyed the close up encounter with the monkeys which was optional btw - despite prior reviews- and we saw so much wildlife - caiman, crocs, turtles, crabs, boat billed heron, multiple other heron and Ibis like birds, snakes in the mangroves, a sloth up high, iguana and more. We recognize that there is some luck involved - we didnt have rain and the animals were out but also- our tour guide Felipe knew exactly where to look. Highly recommend!

Awesome guide, he made sure my Grandkids had monkeys climb on them, took his time to point out things to them. I have done this - My Grandkids loved the tour, we saw lots on birds and lizards, crabs and of course monkeys we even got to see a small Cayman.

Definitely include this in your Costa Rica schedule. - We saw so many animals in closer proximity than when you’re walking . Our guide was very knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful.
Because the boats go up and down this amazing stretch of water daily , they know exactly where to find the animals. Plus they feed and call them so you see them close up.
One of the groups of monkeys came onto the boat (after a lot of coaxing) and were adorable.
After 3 weeks in Costa Rica we saw more variety in 2 hours, closer to us than all of the rest of the tours combined.
A wonderful way to spend 2 hours.
