Fantastic tour, so much to see - This was a brilliant tour. 3.5 hours drifting leisurely down the river punctuated every few minutes by wildlife. Lots of birds (including a beautiful pygmy kingfisher), crocs, lizards, monkeys. Even saw 3 crab-eating raccoons and a boa constrictor. Our guide Jonathan was clearly an expert and highly knowledgeable about the mangrove and all the flora/fauna it supports. One of the best things we did in Costa Rica.

Mangrove tour - Really informative 3 hour boat trip along the river Sierpe, with lots of wildlife seen. Jonathan, our guide, was clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Just note that you won’t see crocodiles if the tide is high.

Wonderful river tour in Sierpe - We had a wonderful tour with Jonathan who showed us many birds, including the elusive common potoo, crocodiles,a boa constrictor, squirrel monkeys. His explanation of the importance of mangroves and how a mangrove forest is formed was fascinating. This tour was a highlight of our vacation.
