This was a great trip...

This was a great trip with much more wildlife sightings than expected, including crocs, parrots, and howler monkeys. Our guide & skipper Ivan was awesome and knew the best places to find wildlife; he even surprised us with a short hike into the jungle, after parking our boat on the riverbank, which was where we spotted at least a half-dozen howler monkeys in the trees. We did the 7 am tour, which is what we'd recommend for greater chances of seeing wildlife.
Great trip for anyone!

Fabulous! Fabio was a wonderful guide and if you sit up front you get to learn everything about the flora and fauna. It was wonderful! Go when it’s not low tide so you can take the walk.

The tour of the Tamarindo estuary was informative and fun. We saw birds, crocodiles and howler monkeys. The boat ride itself through the mangroves was fun as well.
