About this activity

Designed especially for cruise passengers, this small-group shore excursion brings together some of the best experiences of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast in one relaxed day. Cruise the Tortuguero Canals in search of monkeys, sloths, iguanas and tropical birds, explore the rainforest and coastline of Cahuita National Park, and enjoy a stop at a local banana plantation.

You’ll also visit Maratopia, our own tropical garden near Puerto Limón. Walk among tropical plants and blue Morpho butterflies and enjoy a tasting of fresh seasonal fruits – an experience you won’t find on the standard port excursions.

With groups limited to a maximum of 20 guests, the experience stays personal and relaxed. The tour is coordinated with your cruise ship’s arrival and return schedule, so you can enjoy your day in Costa Rica without feeling rushed.

Wildlife lives freely in its natural habitat, so sightings can never be guaranteed – but that is exactly what makes every tour different.
