The ride down the river... - The ride down the river was beautiful. And the guides were very good about spotting wildlife. We saw birds, monkeys, and even a crocodile.

Mangroves at their natural best !!! - Who would have thought that a beach town with all the ingredients of a true touristy beach town vibe and attractions would also have man mangroves so so closeby We had the most amazing couple of hours exploring these 900 + years old natural mangroves and were fortunate to see so much wild life !!! Our guide Favio was par excellence and got three cheers and an applause from all of us for his expertise and being so good natured, genuine, funny but above all and most importantly, knowledgeable. This is one must do specially for families with kids as there is so much to watch, explore and learn!!

Uniquely great experience! - Absolute tour recommendation! ES was a varied and exciting 2-hour boat tour through the middle of the rainforest area in Tamarindo. Fabio did everything wonderfully and provided very informative and understandable information. We saw a total of four crocodiles, which I'm sure was a little lucky. Lots of birds and colorful crabs as well as monkeys. Thank you very much, we would book again immediately! Great and unique experience here in Tamarindo🐊🦀🐒🏞️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Time! - Great tour with Fabio, we leaned a lot about the local eco system. He pointed out birds, crocodiles, iguanas, crabs, and we learned about the mangroves. Very fun! We ate fresh pineapple and had many drink options.

Great tour guide. - The boat guide that did the 11:30 AM safari on August 5 did a great job. He was very knowledgeable of the area and did whatever he could for us to see crocodiles, monkeys, snakes and birds. Plus he was very considerate of his passengers.

Beautiful trip through the Estuary - This was a lovely calm trip. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive. We did not see many animals, but that was not their fault… just nature. Our guide, Ivan, worked hard to find crocodiles (we saw 3), pointed out all the birds, and suggested places to see monkeys. It was a nice, leisurely trip around in a boat. But animal sightings are not guaranteed, so if you have impatient children this might not be for you.

Not bad - Not a bad tour. Got to see some animals on the walk but not much action as we were in the boat. We did see some Howler Monkey's, a baby raccoon and alligator.
