Great overview of the City
This was a very broad overview of Costa Rica it was just enough to give you an appreciation for the diversity of this lovely country. It would be nice to have much more time at each location but the cruise ships just dont stay there long enough. Greenway we need to go back on our own just to visit longer.

Compressed but informative
The jungle walk was great. We saw small and large, from spiders and ants to sloths. Lunch was classic Costa Rican. The water cruise was ok, and our guide and driver did a good job of bringing the boat into good positions so that each person got good views. We also got a bus-window view of the Caribbean coat area, with a good monologue. It was compressed but we felt like we got a good flavor of the Puerto Limon area. Thanks!

the best stop on our trip
this is by far the best excursion we had on our trip…. the tour guide took us to a zoo in which you actually get in the spacious living environment with the animals. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour
