The tour was nice a relaxing boat ride on the river. Especially if your day before was long. Our guide(apologies I do not know his name or his assistants). We're both so gracious and we enjoyed listening to our guide. A little snack of fresh pineapple, always the best when fresh. We saw birds, monkeys and crocodiles. Mangrove trees are beautiful. Learned nice facts about the trees I never knew.
If you need a laid back day I suggest this tour.

Another amazing Estuary tour with Discover Tamarindo
Garry_W, Apr 2024
For me the most memorable part of any of my tours are finding new birds to add to my life list along with getting great photos of birds and other wildlife. This tour was no exception as I captured 3 new bird species. "Lifers" a Muscoy Duck, Reddish Egret, and a Plumbeous Kite. Our guide and captain was Juan Carlos again and with my trip to Costa Rica back in Nov 2023 it was nice to see him again. His friendly demeanor, English, knowledge and professionalism as a guide is absolutely amazing. Thanks again Juan Carlos.
Relaxing and enjoyable

Nice BoatRide

Very informative guide.
Crocodiles were very shy and we only saw part of a baby hiding in the mangroves
Howler monkeys were sleeping, so no howling.
Not as many birds as I had hoped, just a few herons.
An abundance of wildlife!

Our group of 6 had a fabulous time on this tour. Moises was an excellent and knowledgeable guide who shared his knowledge of plants and animals in the mangroves. It was evident that he cares deeply for the environment and shared the ecological importance of the area. I would highly recommend the tour if you want to see crocodiles, monkeys and an abundance of birds in their natural habitat.
Everything that I expected and more.

This tour was worth doing, Close to our resort the ride was short and the driver extremely friendly. Once on site we met the boat captain Moses and to my surprise the guide was Juan Carlos who I met on a birdwatching tour a few days earlier. He was extremely knowledgeable and fluent in both languages provided the guests with many opportunities to see wildlife. Knowing that my focus was birds while he was looking for monkeys for the other guests to see he located a Juvenile Long-tailed Manikin (type of bird) for me that I was able to capture. The trip was great. The only thing that I wish they could change and they probably offer if I asked them is the opportunity to go earlier in the morning and spend more time looking for birds where we went to see the monkeys.
Moises is a fantastic guide

Moises went out of his way to make sure we all enjoyed the tour. We saw plenty of wildlife and the pineapple was delicious. Highly recommend.
