    Tour guide Calikee (Manual) was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We made various stops and he provided us a great background of the working people of Costa Rica and its culture. The boat tour guide was very good as well and he knew how to point out all the wildlife.

    Very good excursion that all should try. Very informed guide and fun boat caption. Lots of wildlife! Plenty of crocodiles and bird life. We added the coffee, pottery, and lunch to our excursion as well which was well worth the experience. The lunch was very good and prepared at a "Soda" which was a super experience. The coffee guy was quite proud of his expertise with coffee and was willing to talk your ear off about it but I must mention that we did purchase some coffee and when we got home and tried it was fantastic! The pottery demo was very interesting and unique. This was a fantastic experience and very fun and educational.
