Experience the best of Costa Rica’s natural beauty, wildlife, and culture on this full-day shore excursion from Puntarenas. Begin your adventure by meeting your guide at the port entrance, where you’ll be warmly welcomed and checked in for the tour.
Your journey starts with a Jungle Safari Boat Tour along the Tarcoles River, a haven for aquatic wildlife. Glide through the mangroves and spot crocodiles sunbathing on the riverbanks, white-faced monkeys swinging through the trees, and colourful birdlife soaring overhead. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the region’s biodiversity and ecosystems.
Savour freshly picked tropical fruits from an authentic fruit stand and learn about the country’s agricultural traditions. Then, indulge in a typical Costa Rican buffet-style lunch at a nearby restaurant, featuring authentic dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. On this tour, you’ll also have the opportunity to purchase Costa Rican coffee, renowned for its rich flavour and quality.
Conclude your excursion with a guided exploration of Puntarenas port, where you’ll learn about its history and importance to Costa Rica’s economy. After a day filled with memorable experiences, you’ll be transported back to your hotel or cruise ship in an air-conditioned vehicle, ensuring a comfortable end to your adventure.
