Our take
Our assessment, based on the operator's listing, Viator traveler ratings and the alternatives below. We don't claim to have taken this tour. Reviewed . How we're paid.
- Who it suits
- Families and anyone who wants wildlife up close with almost no walking.
- Why choose it
- It's the most-reviewed Palo Verde listing. Per the operator, it includes a 1 hour 20 minute river safari, a Costa Rican lunch, a Chorotega pottery presentation, national park fees, and pickup listed for Tamarindo, Langosta, Grande, Conchal and Flamingo.
- Trade-offs
- It's about six hours for 80 minutes on the water. Most of the day is the drive and the lunch and pottery stops.
Compared with the alternatives
- Jungle Cruise at Palo Verde National Park: Another shared safari with slightly higher ratings and fewer reviews.
- Palo Verde National Park (half day): A private option: your group, your pace.
