We had a wonderful ride through the estuary. Our guide knew where the Howler Monkeys were and took on a hike through the forest to see them. Nice group of folks! Connie….California USA

We booked the estuary Tour with Tamarindo Best Choice Tours last month and it was one of the best experiences of our trip. The tour was extremely well guided from start to finish, and our guide had an impressive depth of knowledge about the local nature and wildlife. Every animal and plant we came across came with real explanation and context, not just quick pointing and naming. You could tell this guide genuinely cares about the ecosystem and loves sharing that passion with visitors. If you are looking for a tour that is both fun and genuinely educational, this is the one to book. Highly recommended.
Es war eine tolle Führung und sehr empfehlenswert. Der Guide war sehr erfahren und humorvoll. Er erzählte in ausgezeichnetes Englisch und sehr unterhaltsam viel Wissenswertes über die Natur, Flora, Fauna, Land, Leute und Geschichte. Auch Krokodile sahen wir aus größter Nähe und jede Menge Vögel - Geier, Fischadler, Reiher und viele mehr.
Excellent tour, recommended!
The best experience you can have in the area. From the beginning, the guides Cristian and Moisés make the tour special: they are super attentive, passionate about what they do, and have impressive knowledge of nature.
