  • 4Super Organized and Interesting

    Great tour, well organized and interesting. Fio did an excellent job. We loved seeing the organic plantation as well as the National Park. Good value and they made sure we were back to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare.

  • 5Great Company - complete integrity - book with confidence

    My wife and I booked this tour in connection with a Panama Canal cruise, but unfortunately the morning we were scheduled to dock in Limon the seas were too heavy and the mooring lines were snapping so the captain would not let anyone off the ship. Although the scheduled cancellation policy is 24 hours advance notice, Greenway and Viator issued a full refund. That’s how you do business! We have used Viator for other tours and have found them to be A+ every time.

    We spent a whole day exploring Limon. Our guide Ariel was very informative and very organized with our tour. He was also very knowledgeable about all the plants and animals we saw went we visited the Natural Park, banana plantation and the river cruise. Our driver Hanner was also great in providing safe trip.

  • 5Lots of wildlife

    This was overall a great tour. The bus ride was a little long, but we saw sloths, monkeys, cayman, lots of birds, snakes, banana plants, cacao trees and more. The restrooms in the rainforest had no toilet paper, so you might want to bring some. Also, most of the sloths and monkeys were pretty high up in the trees so binoculars or a camera with a telephoto lens would be good to have. The website says no food or drinks provided, but they did give us a bottle of water and some fresh fruit. We also had time for a quick late lunch at the banana plantation.

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.

Top-ranked sights in Limón: Tortuguero Canals.
