We had a great time zip-lining on the river cruise and learning about Limon. WE went through customs and they were right there with a sign for us, we got on our bus and headed out. Our guide was informative and we learned a lot about the country. The zip lining was fun and the riverboat ride was informative and we saw moneys, a sloth, various birds lizards and a crocodile. The price was a lot less than the cruise ship excursion and more personal than the big bus tour that the cruise ship had. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

First time zip lining, really enjoyed it, was apprehensive at first, however after the first run we really enjoyed it. It was the highlight of our cruise. Also enjoyed the canal boat ride, saw a sloth which our boat pulled up to which was approximately five feet away. We were informed that sloths descend to the ground only once a week to defecate and we were fortunate enough to see the sloth so close to the ground.

The organization by and professionalism of the guide and driver were excellent. Everything went as planned and we even had time for an additional stop at a beach. The canal tour allowed us to see some of the local wildlife and our van driver was great at spotting along the way animals. My only challenge was that on four of the nine runs when ziplining I did not make it to the next platform. This required me to pull myself along the cable – exhausting! The safety precautions taken and the instructions given by the ziplining staff were thorough and well done. My husband and I are two seniors who had never zip lined before but we felt very comfortable.

This tour was SO well done. I felt safe throughout the zipline portion and could just relax and have fun. The canal cruise was also nice–saw several types of wildlife in their natural habitat.
