Description

Start and End of the Tour: We usually start at 8:30 a.m., but you can choose another time that we'll coordinate with you. The tour kicks off at the Sierpe pier, right next to the Las Vegas restaurant. The tour lasts about 3 hours and ends at the same dock. Tour Description: You'll sail through the winding canals of the Sierpe River aboard a comfortable, covered boat that meets all government requirements. Our highly trained local guide will help you spot the diverse fauna that inhabits this area, including monkeys, spectacled river dolphins, crocodiles, herons, and snakes, among many others. During the tour, you'll explore one of the most important ecosystems: the mangrove forest, which is home to rich biodiversity and plays a crucial role in protecting the coasts. Recommendations: We recommend wearing comfortable, lightweight clothing, as well as a hat and sunglasses. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and hydrate during the tour. If you want to capture those unforgettable moments, you'll definitely want to bring a camera or phone. Family Experience: This tour is perfect for the whole family, including kids, teens, and adults. It's a unique experience, as you'll be able to see a lot of animals in a short time without moving from your seat. The tour requires a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 8. We make sure families with kids travel on a private tour to guarantee a comfortable experience. We're a tour operator certified by the Costa Rican Tourism Board.
