Highlights
Puerto Limón is more than Costa Rica’s Caribbean port—it is where Afro-Caribbean culture, tropical agriculture, coastal communities, and the sea come together. This relaxed shore excursion reveals those connections beyond the waterfront. Experience Cahuita’s laid-back character, discover how bananas, cacao, cassava, and tropical fruits have shaped the region, and pause beside the Caribbean at Playa Bonita before exploring the streets of Puerto Limón. With an easy pace and a thoughtful mix of scenery, culture, and local life, this tour gives you a fuller picture of Puerto Limón than the one visible from the pier.

Itinerary
Your adventure begins just outside Puerto Limón Cruise Port, where you’ll meet your guide and board comfortable, air-conditioned transportation. Travel along Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast toward the colorful village of Cahuita, passing tropical scenery and local communities along the way. Enjoy free time to explore Cahuita at your own pace. Browse artisan shops, visit the nearby national park, relax by the beach, or soak in the town’s laid-back Caribbean atmosphere while watching for monkeys, sloths, toucans, and other wildlife.
Continue to Prospect Plantation and discover the agricultural heritage behind some of Costa Rica’s most important crops. Learn how bananas, cacao, cassava, tropical fruits, and other local products are cultivated, and how agriculture has shaped the economy and communities of the Caribbean region.
Pause for approximately 30 minutes at Playa Bonita, where you can enjoy the ocean views or purchase a tropical drink, local beer, or Caribbean snack. Before returning to the ship, take a brief sightseeing drive through Puerto Limón and see some of the city’s notable landmarks. Stop at a local souvenir store to browse Costa Rican coffee, crafts, and Caribbean-inspired gifts before returning to Puerto Limón Cruise Port.

About Limón
Limón is Costa Rica's main Caribbean port, an Afro-Caribbean city on a humid coast and the gateway to Tortuguero's canals and the Cahuita reef.
Puerto Limón is Costa Rica's principal Caribbean port, a cargo harbour and provincial capital where the coast curves beneath green hills and rain clouds. Many of its people descend from Jamaican and other West Indian workers who came in the nineteenth century to build the railway to San José, and their English-influenced Creole, music and cooking shape the city. Parque Vargas, a palm-shaded park, runs along the seafront.
