This was our favorite tour of our trip! Roy was a great guide who showed us all the sights and was full of knowledge about the wildlife in Costa Rica. He was excellent with pointing out animals and giving us time to see them and teaching us interesting facts about them too!

This tour was excellent! Roy was a fantastic guide who is extremely knowledgeable on wildlife and volcano. We saw sloths both two toed and three toed, white faced monkeys, Jesus Christ Lizards, Tiger Heron and so much more. I would recommend this tour 100%! Jorge was an excellent driver and additional knowledge on the ride. It was sooo good!!!
Great excursion!

Great excursion! We saw a lot of animals (sloths, monkeys, birds, lizards) and we even spotted a basilisk running on water! The river is very calm and the whole experience is very relaxing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the wildlife as well as Costa Rica in general. Highly recommend!
Two Thumbs up for family friendly adventure!

An awesome way to see and learn about the animals and plants in their natural habitat!!
Before the tour even started our tour guides spotted a sloth. We saw a large variety of animals including lots of monkeys just swinging over our heads! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the snack lunch was very tasty. I’d highly recommend this tour if you are looking for an easy, family friendly outdoor sightseeing activity. Our 6yr old thoroughly enjoyed it and the guide kept everyone engaged including the kids! It does get hot in a few sections so definitely wear a hat, sunscreen and cool clothing.

Carlos of Caribbean Winds was a fantastic and interesting tour guide. We saw toucans, monkeys, sloth, Jesus Christ lizards, a caiman, etc and had a most relaxing beautiful afternoon floating down the river for about 3 hours. If we return, we will do this again and look for Carlos to lead us. He has worldly experience and Costa Rican upbringing that brings a full picture of the culture. He also knows how to cut a pineapple up to a beautiful work of art, and it was very tasty.

This tour was seriously amazing. We saw monkeys, toucans, vultures and so many iguanas, plus an owl! Hector was our amazing guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The tour ended at a beautiful farm so we got some local food and drinks. Everything was fresh and delicious. Everyone should do this tour.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
