About this activity

During this tour, you will get to experience some of Limon's main activities in one day. You will visit a local rainforest from a unique point of view: the Tortuguero Canals! On this tour you will witness a great diversity of wildlife from our boat (monkeys, aquatic birds, iguanas, basilisks, and maybe sloths). Remember, this is Nature! Sometimes spotting animals may depend on weather conditions and tidal hours.

Then we will visit an organic farm with a small banana plantation; we'll see several types of exotic fruit trees, immersed in tropical nature, and learn about the Caribbean culture, taking a sightseeing tour around Limon town.

At the end of the tour, there is an optional visit to Playa Bonita beach, where you can relax and enjoy the sea breeze and the amazing lusciousness of Costa Rican nature while embracing the local culture and living the pura vida lifestyle powered by Calypso music.
