When all other tours cancelled due to the regular port being temporarily closed due to the extra high water levels, these guys went the extra mile to pivot to a further open port allowing us to get our tour. We got to see monkeys up close, feed them grapes and also saw toucans, other birds and iguanas.

Overall, it was a great experience. Most enjoyable part was going to different islands looking for wild life. Feeding grapes to Monkeys was very exciting. Tour guide Yass also provided us with local snacks to enhance our experience.

Pick up was early (6 am) so we were not able to get breakfast at hotel. The tour guide did provide a croissant and a juice box. They really needed to provide a better breakfast since they pick you up so early and you can't get anything from hotel with the early pick up. On the way to the boat the driver spotted a sloth hanging in the tree over the road so we all got out to see. That was the only sloth we saw. Boat ride was great and the interaction with the monkeys was very cool as they came on the boat to get grapes/fruit. We also got to see a momma and her baby come on the boat. The walk in the rain forest was a big waste of time only thing we saw was some ants and got bit by bugs. Bring some bug spray. The guide did provide a lunch time snack which was nice and they had bottled water on the van.

So glad I booked this trip. Everything was perfect…even the rain on the last few minutes of the boat trip was an adventure. We saw a sloth in the drive in—mostly because the driver had his eye peeled. Then the monkeys were just amazing. Our guide was pretty much a monkey whisperer, and because of high water we were the only boat coating into the islands we saw three species—and they actually came onto the boat to get grapes and papaya.

Amazing! Enrique went above and beyond saving the day as the lake was shut down due an unexpected issue. He figured out a way to get us to see the monkeys and was amazing! Thank you for an unforgettable experience! Monkeys, sloths and rainforest! Can’t ask for a better day!

Traffic is heavy so start time can be delayed. Enjoyable pleasant staff. Pickup/ drop locations should be more central and fewer
