Canals and Puerto Limon Highlights
Yelena
, Mar 2020
This was one of the interesting tours on this trip. We were greeted by the tour guide at the exit from the port (though the ship was late they were waiting for us). Then we just followed the itinerary. It was nice to watch the wild life in the Tortuguero Canals and then the plantations where the bananas are ripening. We didn't go to the Bonita beach as we didn't have the swimming attire but visited the cafe instead. We had a very nice team both the guide and the driver. They did everything to show us the birds and even the crocodile.

Pleasant tour with limitations
janeechappell

Steve was a pleasant driver with enough local information. The Tortuguero boat showed us some wildlife including sloths & iguanas, and birds It was disappointing that we inly saw a banana plantation from the road as it was clealy permanently closed to tourists. My tour confirmed a paid visit to Fruteria El Almendro. This didn’t happen. We did visit the roadside fruit stall for tastings but no information.

We always keep our responses as respectful as possible, and we very much dislike confrontation with our customers. After all, our goal is to give you a relaxing and enjoyable time while you are having your tour, and we want you to take good memories back home with you. However, seeing what you wrote, I must sincerely say your review is very distasteful. It's not the rating you gave us, but that your review is not truthful, even after all our extra effort to give you a great experience. And I will explain it clearly, point by point: 1- You 100% were taken to Fruteria El Almendro. I met you and Steven there and talked to you personally. And as clarification, Fruteria means Fruit Shop / Fruit Stand, and you even got to see the actual tropical trees and plants to learn more about them. 2- The tour description indicates that we cannot go deep into the banana plantation or see the processing plant. That is simply not allowed since you could bring biological contamination and cause damage to our region's people and economy, and for your own safety of course. 3- You were always writing something on a piece of paper, checking every place you visited to see if we were trying to scam you. Why would you book our tour if you were so distrustful? 4- Steven, who is a great guide as proven by plenty of other reviews, noticed your behaviour and decided to give you an extra stop to make your experience even better. 5- You were the only traveler on this tour. Yes, we delivered a private tour with only one person for a total price of 55 US dollars, there were no other bookings. This was obviously not profitable at all, but even so we did not cancel your tour, we didn't even think about doing that. Given all the above, I must say we've never felt so humiliated before. It feels like you are accussing us of deceiving you, even after giving you so much more than what you paid for and operating the tour at a loss. As advertised in our website, we have a full refund guarantee if you're unsatisfied, but we cannot apply it if you decide to publish false information like this. We will never deceive our customers and will continue to deliver great experiences to travelers who want to genuinely enjoy their day with us in Puerto Limon. Best regards, Federico

Best tour ever

Best excursion of our cruise. If you are lucky enough to have LARRY as your guide you have hit the jackpot. A wealth of information about Limon and our tour was so personal and rewarding. Never rushed. Only 11 people in our van unlike the tour buses. We saw more wildlife on the canal trip due to Larry and the boat driver searching out the sloths, monkeys and crocs. They got up close and personal so we could get the best pictures. All in all so great.

Comprehesive Tour For Puerto Limon
juliemcheng77
, Jan 2020
This well planned, informative tour, led by the hard working duo of guide Frederico and driver Eduardo was an excellent choice for our stop at Puerto Limon. Along with the canal tour, many bonus animal sightings and visits to picturesque spots around the town were packed into the 4 hour tour. Frederico was a very knowledgeable, proficient communicator and Eduardo had an excellent eye for spotting wildlife along the roadside forest. We even stopped at a local grocery store to buy coffee on the way back to port. We highly recommend it! A great value.

Fernando, Friedrich, Fred's Wildlife Tour
David J

For such a short trip our guide Fernando, Friedrich, Fred packed a lot in. From the minute we arrived he had us spotting sloth's by the road side. Fernando was a mine of local & national information and shared a lot of his own experiences with us. The highlight of the tour was the short sail around the Tortuguero Canals, where Fernando and the boat driver pointed out all sorts of bird life, monkeys, sloth's and crocodile. An excellent guide on an excellent tour.

Amazing Excursion
PeaceWl
, Dec 2019
This excursion is worth the price. First , the tour guide was waiting for us outside the cruise terminal. He then escorted us to our bus. The driver Giovanni and the lead guide Dani were knowledgeable and friendly. The tour had a total of 6 stops. The first stop was at a fruit stand where you get a complimentary coffee drink and options to taste different exotic fruits. The second stop is at Del Monte Banana Plantation, where you can see the fields and how they transport Bananas. The third stop is at the Tortuguero Canal which is a fun boat ride where you are able to see sloths, iguanas, caymans and different wild life. After this amazing ride we headed to Playa Bonita where we had the best "Pinchos". We then went to one of the highest point of Port Limon, where you can see the whole city, this view was phenomenal. Lastly we went to a local supermarket, where you have the option to purchase local goods, in our cases we purchase local coffee. Overall, this excursion was perfect and I would recommended if you are looking for fun short excursion where you get to see different sides of this beautiful port.
