We had a choice to book a similar tour on our cruise, but chose this one instead and I am so glad we did. Our genuinely friendly guide was passionate about his love for his country and so full of knowledge about his homeland. The smaller group was able to accomplish more than the larger cruise tours. We got in and out of the zip line faster (which was so fun!) so we had more time to enjoy the lovely canal and see sloths up in the trees as well as other wildlife on the boat tour. Thanks for a memorable day - makes me want to come back to beautiful Costa Rica!Show Management Response

This was on of the best tours that I was on, on my vacation. The staff was very helpful and safety conscious. The zip line brakes were applied by the staff which takes the guess work out of when to stop before hitting a tree.Show Management Response

This was one of the highlights of our trip! We loved the activities, and how friendly all the guides were. They were seriously all stellar, and were extremely informative. I wish I could remember the guides name when we went, but we loved him! Highly recommend. Ziplining was a dream. They met us just outside of the port.Show Management Response

My daughter and I booked this tour as a cruise excursion and had a great experience. We just returned having done the trip over the holidays. The tour guide and driver were very competent, knowledgeable and friendly. Both expressed a willingness to ensure we had a good time.
The zip line was terrific. A real thrill !!! It was very well organized and the crew was great....competent. They made us feel safe. We were one of the first groups of the day, we had plenty on the lines and never felt like it was rushed. It really exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this trip to others. It was also better priced that what we would have gotten if booked with the ship.
We saw plenty of wildlife- birds, sloths, reptiles, lizards, monkeys on the tour. Show Management Response

This was a great tour from a fantastic tour company. We were met right on the gangway and taken in a lovely air conditioned van to the zip lining facility. The staff there were safe, competent and very friendly. There's also the chance to get proper photo for memories. Rey, our guide, then took us on a river boat cruise. His knowledge of his country and wildlife was excellent. He helped each person see whichever animal they really cared about. There was an abundance of wildlife! We finished with a surprise visit to a banana plantation which was so interesting and with Rey's sense of humour, very entertaining. Really great trip with a great tour operator.

Management Response: Hello Toni,
We appreciate you sharing your comments and review about your recent Limon Jungle Tortugguero River Cruise and Canopy Zip Line Combo Excursion. We have already forwarded your comments about your guide Rey to his supervisor. He is one of our guest's favorites and makes everyone come away from the experience with a good feel of Costa Rica and that they were part of the family. Ziplining in Limon is spectacular and offers guests some of the best views around. We hope to have you join us again on a future cruise.

This tour was fantastic!! I can't say enough about it. It was exciting and informational all in one. The zip line was the best we have done yet (we have done ziplining in several ports). We loved seeing the jungle this way. We were tired at the end of the day but it was worth every minute. Dying to do this again!!!!Show Management Response

Perfect choice for my family of nature lovers. My 11 year old especially liked the boat ride. We were able to see so much wildlife. Do not forget your camera and I do suggest you bring bug spray as they suggest! The fruit and coffee at the end were a treat.Show Management Response
Management Response: Hello,
It is great to hear that your family enjoyed your recent excursion. Thank you for posting your review and for the comments. Bug spray always comes in handy in the Limon jungle.
