  • 5Amazing Crocodile Tour — A Must-Do!

    Had an awesome experience on Jason’s Croc Tour! The guides were great, super knowledgeable, and made the whole trip really fun. We got to see some massive crocodiles up close along with a ton of other wildlife and birds along the river. Definitely one of the coolest things I’ve done while visiting Jacó. If you’re in the area and want to see the crocodiles, I highly recommend Jason’s tour!

  • 5So much more than I expected!!

    First, and this is a BIG ONE for me, this tour is operated by someone who is local!! (I'm a small business owner myself, so this is really important.) He lives and works in this community, and you can tell when you go on the tour!! I went on this expecting to see a few crocs, maybe see them throw out a piece of meat or something, but it was so much more than that and so much more than crocodiles! The knowledge Jason and his crew have about the environment and the other wildlife is absolutely incredible. We saw so many different species of plants, birds, and lizards, and Jason told us about all of them. I loved learning about it all. As for the crocs, he found and showed us all of the big ones (which have names). He knew so many details about each one - he definitely knows his craft!! And the captain for our tour was great. I never felt nervous, afraid, or uneasy in the boat. I enjoyed it so much that I would go again!! Highly recommend Jason Crocodile Tours. #supportlocal

  • 5Best crocodile tour in Tercoles

    After reading reviews and looking at pictures, we chose to book our crocodile tour directly with Jason and I’m so glad we did. While the other tour companies just ride along the river, Jason actually stops, interacts with the wildlife and is very informative. We definitely recommend booking with Jason since he is a local tour guide and provides an amazing experience. Side note: check with Jason about additional tours and transportation for them in the area. He’s a tremendous resource as well as a phenomenal tour guide.

  • 5Best Crocodile tour in Costa Rica

    Jason is a brave Crocodile hunter. His tour is exciting. The danger is real, in the natural environment. Jason also provides allot of information about each Crocodile. The best story is about the Croc named Brad Pitt. Take Jason’s tour for an exciting adventure.
