Jesus and Captain Isaak led an amazing 2-hour tour on the Tárcoles River! We lucked out and were the only tourists in the boat that day, so we got a lot of personalized content including an up-close-and-personal video of the croc chomping down on chicken from the angle of the water—it was loco! Jesus was very knowledgeable of all the animals and plants on the river, and you could detect his passion for his job and interacting with people. It was $65/each including a private transfer to and from Jaco.

Experience to leave you breathless. Guides jesus and Isac explained and passed on their passion for these giants. The crocodiles seen so closely are an experience that you cannot miss if you visit Costa Rica!

The guide and captain were amazing. I agreed to this tour for my spouse and loved it. The birds were amazing and it’s lovely how the captain and guide whistled and the birds came-yes food was involved. The guide was knowledgeable and his English perfect. The captain was very brave to get the crocodiles close and jumping for food. I loved the tour.
Awesome adventure with great guides!

Jose was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We came last minute without a reservation and he was able to fit us in. They took us up the river, they fed some crocodiles 🐊 and other wildlife. We had a great time and even got to see a beautiful sunset.

Honestly, the BEST of the Croc tours!!! We live here - we should know!! They simply bring out the most in viewing the Crocs, up close and personal. And our guide was knowlegable beyond the Crocs. He taught was about the eco systems, Costa Rica, and beyond. We would most definitely go again, and again!
