Private tour at the Natuwa Sanctuary and Crocodile River tour

5.00We had a private tour with Melonie as our excellent guide and Cali as our very skilled driver. Both of them spoke English and gave us a lot of info about Cosra Rica. We visited the Natuwa Sancuary and then got on a river boat to see the crocodiles & native birds. Wonderful day and great memories!
Everything was fantastic!

5.00First off, our tour guide, Ron, was great. Costa Ricans are very nice in general and Ron was no exception. Really a breathe of fresh air. Seeing the monkeys was one of the highlights of our entire vacation! The experience of being up close and personal with them is very much unlike going to a zoo - they aren't pets in captivity, it's a view of the real, wild animals. Los Sueños canopy ride/zip lining was great too! I'm pretty sure they said their one zip line was the highest in the country. The atmosphere is very professional and I never felt unsafe at all. The pictures were kind of expensive there though. The real highlight of the entire tour though was the crocodiles. You get to see them very up close and personal, and you get to actually watch your tour guide interact with them! The tour guides there are knowledgeable and well spoken too so it was a great learning experience. I definitely have a new respect for the crocodiles after this experience. All in all we had a fantastic time and I would definitely recommend this tour to other travelers.
