Palo Verde River Ride

The guide was excellent and the person driving the boat knew the best places to see the local wildlife. He called down the monkeys and pointed out bats roosting on trunks which we would never have seen.

Sensational trip! We saw wildlife in abundance and had passionate, informed guides.

Loved he wildlife

Particularly enjoyed the river cruise and the guides pointing out all of the wonderful wildlife. We were not expecting to then be taken to a sugarcane ranch, which was reasonably informative; but would have preferred more time on the river.

This trip was amazing just wish it had lasted longer as it was brilliant and so much to see. Our tour guide was lovely she spoke fantastic English and very informative would definitely recommend and we saw lots of crocodiles, monkeys and birds etc

Brilliant couple of hours spotting the animals in the forest. Guide was very knowledgable about them and being able to spot them in the trees

The guide was brilliant and the boat team couldn’t do enough for us. It was a fabulous day and saw lots of wildlife on the boat trip

Loved the river ride not so much the ox and sugar tour

All trips as far as I am aware go at 7.15. Breakfast at hotel starts at 7.00. Sports bar in hotel had sandwiches but these were very dry, We had one drink and could have had melon as part of the tour. If the breakfast buffet opened slightly earlier, even if it was s basic choice, this would have been much better or TUI could include breakfast as part of an excursion, On the boat a few people, myself included said they were thirsty. The boat driver went into a box and got s bottle of water which was noticed by the group. The guide picked up on this and asked if anyone would like a bottle, I believe that if the boat driver had not got s drink, we would not have done either, it was very hot and when on s boat we do not have the option to buy water, Water should be encouraged by the guide at all times. The trip itself was very enjoyable, both the sugar cane demonstration and boat ride On the boat both the driver and guide were very good in looking and identifying animals and birds, the guide was very informative. Pickups were on time and coach was nice, We would recommended this excursion.

Excellent half day. Experienced guide. On time with small group. Loved the farm and the river experience was amazing. Saw so much wildlife close up.. monkey'showker and white faced, crocodiles, iguanas, bird of paradise, herons , Jesus lizards and more !

Brilliant trip, well organised with a very knowledgeable guide who made the morning, managed to see lots of wildlife which is what it is all about.

We enjoyed the trip very much. David our guide was very knowledgeable. He was able to point out lots of birds and animals which we are very interested in. David is a good asset for the tui tours.

Overall very good experience very good tour guide got to see a lot off animals and felt very safe would recommend

The wildlife we saw was amazing. There was so much to see, to begin with it's hard to see, but you soon get used to looking and before you know it your seeing wildlife everywhere. You suddenly realise your in their home and your their guests. We were watching them, but they were watching us more. And the sounds of the wildlife was beautiful. Only one down side, as a treat, at the end, they stopped and took us to watch a demonstration of how sugar was once extracted from cane before machinery, this involved a bull tied up by its horns, and as much as the bull did look well cared for, with the bullring right next to us, and a rodeo with red rags hanging out of his pocket, i couldn't stop wondering what that bull may have been through or going to through. I know it's their culture and this was a in there eyes a nice thing to do and show us, but being from the uk, a nation of animal lovers, I didn't like it.
