River cruise was a hit

Toni_M, Mar 2024

We saw many animals on this boat ride. It was really nice. As for the cultural and rum tour we had them cut it down in time some because it was so hot outside, but it was interesting to learn about both.

Action packed day!

Jennifer_E, Sep 2023

What an amazing day! Eddie was the best tour guide and went out of his way to make our day extra special. We saw so many crocodiles and monkeys in the river boat cruise then had a delicious home made Costa Rican lunch. Rum tour was very educational and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to learn about Costa Rican culture.

Another fun trip with Miller as our guide

aharden9869, Nov 2019

Got to learn about sugar cane and how they use it at a farm and Rum Distillery. We got to use the old sugar cane extracting machines with an Ox called Curro. We got a tour of a Rum distillery and got to blend our own bottles of Rum. Next we went on a boat tour of the river and got to see the White Face Monkey, birds and some crocodiles. Miller really was a great guide because of his knowledge of the wildlife and the trees in Costa Rica. We will try to use his company for our tours next time we visit. Thank You Miller!
