Palo Verde National Park (half day)

Our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed this boat tour! We saw amazing wildlife including many birds, monkeys, iguanas, and numerous crocodiles! The authentic Costa Rican lunch was very tasty and afterwards, a short pottery demonstration! Great selection of pottery and we bought several pieces! Would highly recommend!

We were travelling with 10 family members including an 85 year old. This trip was a great way for all age groups to see the diversity of Costa Rica as a family. Our guide and the boat captain were both knowledgeable and fun. They made sure we had plenty of time on the water to see crocodiles, monkeys and various birds. If you are a birder this is the excursion for you. The place they took us for lunch was very authentic and tasty followed by a pottery making demo that was really well done. I didn’t think I would buy any pottery but there were such beautiful pieces. Definitely not the made in China with a Costa Rica sticker over top that we saw elsewhere. Great company, great excursion.

We had an amazing time on the Palo Verde river tour and our guide helped us to identify howler monkeys, crocodiles, herons, osprey, orioles, storks, bats, and iguanas. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and pottery demonstration. We were excited for the opportunity to purchase beautiful pottery made in Costa Rica. It was a great experience!

What a great experience.. Our driver and guide were amazing. We had a memorable day.. Thank you very much, to do absolutely. We saw crocodiles, monkeys, birds, and visited the beautiful farm Coyotes Muchas gracias

Our guide Juan Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour very worthwhile for our family. Guzman, our driver, also was great at navigating us back and forth. We saw many animals on the river tour. Spotting large crocodiles and howler monkeys were the highlights. Definitely recommended!

We took this experience with our professional guide JC, and our driver Fernando. Everything was amazing, we saw lots of wildlife such as American Cocodriles, fishing birds, 3 types of monkeys, lizards and much more. The lunch was delicious. Thanks Blue Zone Tours.

Juan Carlos was an excellent guide on our bus and boat tour to Palo Verde in July 2024. His knowledge of the flora and fauna of Costa Rica were outstanding. We saw 2 types of monkeys, many different species of birds, awesome crocodiles, with the add of our knowledgeable boat captain, who worked hand in hand with Juan Carlos. Add in a rustic lunch at a local farm and the day was truly memorable. Blue Zone and Andres are the best!

We had such an amazing time on this tour! Our guide Juan Carlos knows so much about the wildlife and you can really tell he cares about the nature, history, and people of Costa Rica. The driver, the boat driver, and our guide were all so nice to help point out some amazing animals. We saw a ton of monkeys, alligators, and different types of birds. The farm portion beforehand is also great - with such interesting scenery and information. Highly recommend!

Our guide Juan Carlos was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw lots of monkeys, water birds, other birds including a mackaw. Lunch and pottery demonstration were ver enjoyable.

The tour guide shared his extensive knowledge of Costa Rican history, geography, and ecology. The authentic lunch was delicious. We were picked up promptly and traveled safely.
