The tour is packed.It was nearly 5 hours not 3 or 4, which is a good thing. The plantation was great as was the boat ride. saw all the animals that we were told. Had to search hard for a gator but found one. the beach was good but not enough time. Larry, the guide was great

This tour was very good. Tour guide Larry was remarkable and he kept us entertained throughout the tour. We saw a beautiful church in Limon, a banana plantation with sampling, several sloths in trees, and multiple birds, sloths but only one Cayman along the canal boat tour. I was amazed at the way Larry could point out the animals along the roadside and the canal. Totally recommend this tour.

This tour was so well organized and full of fun information. They found us at the Port gate and took us straight to a waiting bus. Larry, the guide was great and Juan the bus driver too. We saw the church, the banana plantation, a little souvenir shop where we tasted the coffee and mini Bananas and Larry talked about the local plants and their uses. We stopped to look at sloths and cruised down the canal where we saw more sloths, iguanas, egrets, a boa constrictor and a baby crocodile. The last stop was at a beach side restaurant for a cold drink and a swim if you wanted. My husband and I highly recommend this tour. Thanks Relax Tours for a great day.

this was a spectacular way to get to see everything Costa Rica has to offer in a limited amount of time our guide was fabulous. The bus driver was safe and the tour was just as expected and more. We saw wildlife and beaches and got some great information on Costa Rica as well as chocolate rainforest and sugarcane. It was an absolutely perfect day despite the liquid sunshine.
Request Rupert and Giovanni!

This was the best tour we’ve ever taken. The guide Rupert and driver Giovanni were the best tour guides I’ve ever had around the world. They were so friendly, passionate about what they do, and really cared that we had a great experience. Rupert knows so much about everything in beautiful area of Puerto Limon, and he knows everybody there. We called him The Mayor. We learned about all the birds and animals, plants and fruit, ate fresh coconut, cocoa beans, and organic bananas all because of Rupert’s connections. They got us so close to sloths that we took selfies right next to them as they hung in the low trees in the canals. They were absolutely fabulous, and this tour was amazing! Bravo Rupert and Giovanni.
Larry was a great guide!

We were picked up right outside the port gate and swiftly shown around town. We enjoyed our stop to taste some fruits and local plants. The banana plantation tour was nice and educational. We really enjoyed the boat tour. Larry was fun and made sure he could answer any questions.
Larry was a blast!

Our tour guide was Larry and he was funny, entertaining and knowledgeable. He took us to a church, fruit stand, banana plantation, the canal and a local restaurant on the beach. He really made our tour fun. He and the driver looked out for sloths and we pulled over to view them in the wild.
Good fast tour

Good, local, inexpensive tour. Saw the town, local church, and some quick shopping. The restaurant was a bust but not the tours fault. The mangroves were good!!!
