Top Central Pacific Eco Tours

"We really enjoyed this tour, the crew was very pleasant and accommodant (vegetarian option was provided on demand). Unfortunately we did not see whales but as they say: it is Mother Nature. Everything is very professional and they do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. Beautiful views of the beaches, the sea and the surroundings!"

"Juan was our tour guide during the cacao tour. He was absolutely phenomenal and very professional! He made sure we gained knowledge on the background of cacao, as well as allowing us to made our own chocolate. It was such a lovely experience overall! Definitely recommend."

"Great guide, Andres was very informative fun he found all kinds of animals and I told him I wanted to see a sloth he found 5. Would definitely recommend, Awesome"

"Great tour! Great guides. The Sloths are amazing. We saw one through a telescope way up on a very tall tree. As well, I saw an army of aunts taking leaves along a path... Monkeys, birds, a beautiful beach - this tour offers a great way to see the park."

"Shaggy was an amazing guide, will definitely come visit with him when we come back!-Benjamin Trukman"

"This tour was seriously amazing! Our guide Edgar knew so much about the plants and animals in the mangrove, we learned so much! 100% would recommend."

"Will was an extremely knowledgeable guide. We had a fantastic time! Will made me want to take up birdwatching when I get home to the US. His enthusiasm is contagious."

"The park was beautiful, the beaches were amazing. Our tour guide Geovanna and driver Alex were absolutely wonderful! Geovanna was so knowledgeable and truly loves her job. We had a wonderful experience. 10/10"

"So much FUN!! Jugo was our guide and was super helpful throughout the trip. Me and my friend really enjoyed this tour. It is a little more slow paced and calm since you're in a group but there are parts where you can go fast! The horses were well kept and super friendly and we ended up going to a waterfall at the end and the guides pointed out animals and cools creatures along the way. The transportation and lunch was great. I would do this tour again in a heart beat!"

"What a great tour! Raul explained everything to us but there were times when we were able to just peacefully enjoy the ride. It was such a nice look into nature. Raul was able to spot animals that seemed completely hidden. The monkeys put on quite a show for us! Don’t expect an adventure tour. This is a peaceful boat ride through nature followed by a delicious typical Costa Rican breakfast."

"We were on a cruise and booked this tour independently of the ship. We were able to get picked up at the dock and they were very accommodating. The tour had only 6 people and two very informative local guides who spoke English well and knew a lot about the mangrove vegetation and animals. We spent over 2 hours going leisurely through the mangroves and saw many monkeys, birds, iguanas, snakes and a small crocodile. Paddling was very easy and we were able to go into some of the smaller channels which the boat tours could not get to and we could go slower and get closer to the animals. The guides were great about finding the animals and giving informative details on them. At the end of the tour we stopped back at the tour office where they served a local lunch of rice beans and chicken. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Time on the bus only about 15-20 minutes each way. At our request, they dropped us off back in downtown Quepos where we could walk back to the ship. Use plenty of sunscreen, where a hat and while the bugs didn't seem bad, apply bug spray also. This"

"Felix our tour guide was awesome. We trudged through torrential rains. He was eager to show us different types of plants and flowers. The views were fabulous. Thank you Felix!"

"My friend and I did this excursion and it was an amazing day! Our nature guide Sylvia was great! She was very helpful and educated on the different species and the park. We saw so many cool animals, and she was extremely helpful with taking the pictures through the scope for us and keeping us interested the whole excursion, thank you Sylvia!"

"This was a private tour of "el Bosque de Monteverde". Roy Gonzalez was my very knowledgeable and talented tour guide. This is certainly one of my favorite nature sites in Costa Rica, administered by the Centro Cientifico Tropical, formerly Tropical Science Center. The day started as a picture postcard day, but later evolved into steady rain. Roy's knowledge of the fauna and flora made the 5km walk truly interesting and captivating. We visited the "el Espejo" on the continental divide to culminate a terrific return for me to this wonderful forest sanctuary."

"I booked this trip while I was still in Canada. I was so happy with the tour. Our guide Ronaldo was the BEST guide we could have asked for. He picked us with the driver Roberto right on time. Ronaldo asked if we had breakfast (which we didn't). So he stopped at a family bakery and we had the most awesome local Costa Rican baked goods. On the drive to Manuel Antonio Park, Ronaldo was diligent in pointing out so many things. Once we got to Manuel Antonio National Park, Ronaldo's knowledge was so amazing. Because of Ronaldo, we were able to see so many animals/birds and insects that one would not see with the bare eye. We were able to then spend some time on the beautiful beach. After beach time and many pictures, Ronaldo took us to a local Costa Rican restaurant for an absolute delicious meal. I would recommend this trip and ask for Ronaldo as my tour guide."
