This full-day tour in Limon lasts about 6 to 8 hours and includes transportation in an air-conditioned minivan with pickup and drop-off at the port. The trip begins with a short city tour of Puerto Limon, including a stop at a viewpoint overlooking the town and ship docks. Next, guests take a covered boat ride through the Tortuguero Canals for about an hour and a half, during which the guide points out local plants and wildlife. After the boat trip, the tour visits a rustic fruit stand where tropical fruits are shown and sampled, with an optional stop at an adjacent souvenir shop. The tour continues with a 12-minute stop beside a Chiquita banana plantation to learn about banana cultivation and harvesting; access to the processing plant is not allowed. The main highlight is a 1-hour guided hike through Cahuita National Park, where visitors can observe animals and plants and, weather permitting, enjoy the nearby beach. Before returning, there is a 15-minute stop at a local grocery store to browse Costa Rican coffee and other products and learn about the local cost of living. The tour includes all national park and canal admissions, bottled water, fruit tasting, and a professional guide. Lunch and gratuities are not included.
