Overview

This full-day boat safari begins with a pickup in La Fortuna at 7:30 am followed by a scenic drive through Costa Rica’s countryside. Along the way, the guide points out agricultural plantations including yucca, papaya, pineapple, sugar cane, and oranges. Upon arrival at El Caiman restaurant, participants receive a welcome snack and drink before boarding a boat for a wildlife cruise on the Río Frío. The boat ride lasts about two and a half hours on calm waters, where the guide helps spot various animals such as egrets, herons, howler monkeys, caimans, iguanas, bats, and diverse plants within the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge. After the cruise, everyone returns to El Caiman restaurant for a typical Costa Rican lunch while discussing the sights seen on the river. The tour lasts about nine hours and includes round-trip transportation from hotels between La Fortuna and Hotel Tabacón on Route 142, professional guiding throughout, lunch, snacks, a welcome drink, and a scenic boat ride on the Río Frío. Guests should bring their own water bottle as bottled water is not provided. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and comfortable walking shoes are advised.
