Amazing trip - exceeded expectations. - Great way to access the park by boat. I didn't think I'd be able to see it because of logistics and how far away it is. The trip was amazing with so much wild animal life and beautiful scenery. Great lunch too - very tasty. Ramone and the other guides were very good at what they do! And very helpful in us being able to get great pictures!

Animals, fun and lots of information about nature - What a fantastic trip! Before departure there were already coffees and snacks in the office, after that we continued on the boat. Already during the drive to the national park we saw dolphins and learned a lot about nature. Our guides were very dedicated and were always ready for any questions. In the park itself we saw many birds, crocodiles, nose bears, spiders, monkeys and the absolute highlight 2 tapirs :) I am very glad that we took part in the excursion, it was absolutely worth it.

Totally worth it - Great experience. Guide was awesome. Wildlife at its best. You see everything Costa Rica has all in one spot. Boat ride is a little long but we saw dolphins on the way back

Good tour - Cool tour, the guides were very nice and we learned a lot, there were snacks for breakfast and a good lunch. However, you are only about 2-3 hours active in the Corcovado National Park, as the journey from Uvita by boat takes a relatively long time. If that's enough, the tour is top.

A wonderful experience that could use a few improvements. - We enjoyed our time but there were some things that could use improvement. I would have liked to have gone deeper in the jungle and I thought that there was a lot of talking about really minor things (like insects) instead of walking and seeing monkeys .... As well, we got caught in a mixed group of Spanish and English, so everything seemed to take twice as long as it should have. The organization was great. The folks were kind and great. The boat ride was a highlight. We also did see spider monkeys, Scarlet macaws, dolphins, and a few other birds.

Back cracker - Be prepared to walk waist deep in the ocean to get into boat. The ride there was fun and exciting. The tour guide tried very hard to help us find animals. We were able to see an amazing Tapir close up at the very end. You do not go very deep into jungle mainly close to the coast, but it is gorgeous. The unfortunate thing is we felt very unsafe getting back into the panga. The waves were big and crashing and only half of us were able to get on the boat ?safely? It did not seem safe the boat nearly capsized. The other members were brought by another boat and transferred onto our quite precariously. The ocean became very choppy and the captain drove too fast for the conditions. My neck and back were slammed hard every few minutes for one hour and a half. This will be too dangerous for children or the elderly. I think our weather conditions were unusual but the captain should have made a plan B for us to depart or driven slower. My neck hurt the next two days.

Office organization er somewhat ripped off, tour guide very good - We had to cancel a participant the day before wg seasickness while snorkeling for this tour, as this also included 1.5 h boat arrival. With a concise reference to the 24 h cancellation conditions was rejected - the boat was not fully booked, i.e. the space could not have been allocated otherwise. The person concerned came along on the morning of the tour and explained that unfortunately she could not come along. The return trip by boat was very stormy and the rain was lashing. Bad business practices and something ripped off in sickness. The tour and the guide were very interesting and the guide was very eager to find a tapir. Actually worked out! So tour guide 4.5 out of 5 stars, office and handling 1 star.

very disappointing - After reading many reviews about Corcovado national park our group of 4 was expecting to see at least something. In fact we saw a morpheus butterfly and a woodpecker. Later discussing with other tourists who saw lots of wildlife we realized we should have slept in the park to start early walk in the trails. During the day too many people and noise in the trails. Wish I was told to visit early. The boat ride was fun, safe and we saw humpback whales.
