    Experience The Real Costa Rica

    We had an amazing time on our 7 in 1 excursion! It's a unique experience, as you get to see several popular destinations, but also a stop at a local community to taste various plants fresh from their backyard! This is not something any other cruise passenger did. It was a memorable experience that we'll never forget!

    Response from the operator: Many Thanks for the review

    Rather limited interest

    Not too much to see and difficult to actually see the things mentioned Guide was ok but we lost real interest in the excursion

    Your Lucky Tour is amazing!!

    We booked the 7 in 1 tour and it was fantastic! We booked the tour during our visit on our cruise. There was a slight mistake on our part due to ship time being 1 hr earlier than local time but Eduardo was there waiting for us anyways even though we were early! We went to the tortugero canal first and it was great they showed us sloths and snakes birds and crocodile everywhere. we got very close to some. Then off to a local farm stand with great local fresh fruits and National park oh man was it beautiful! where the rainforest meets the beach. Eduardo and alexander (the great) our drive were awesome able to answer all our questions and provided a great tour with many laughs will always recommend a tour with Your Lucky Tour!!!

    Very nice day in Costa Rica

    Last month, 4 of us were met off our cruise ship by Eduardo, a guide and a driver (sorry, I forget the names). All were excellent, as was the boat driver at the Tortugero Canal. We went on a combo tour, first to the canal, in a small boat with both the guide and the boat driver spotting, so we saw a great deal: a sloth, a howler monkey, a crocodile, an iguana, lizards, and many birds. As well, we learned some things about life for the people living there. The big boats used for the cruise line tours had not yet started, so we had the waterway almost to ourselves. After that, we had a driving tour of the city of Puerto Limon, drove to a viewpoint, and then went to a souvenir shop for a short visit. Then it was off to Cahuita National Park. There it was nice to see the local people enjoying their Sunday in family groups. We walked a trail, and saw many capuchin monkeys and a different kind of iguana, and also had some interesting flora pointed out to us. It was good value for money, and I would not hesitate to go with Eduardo's Your Lucky Tour company again if I was in the area.

    Wonderful tour

    Met Rupert for our tour at the cruise terminal. Followed the instructions and found him with no issue. Met up with Eduardo for the rain forest boat tour. They all worked very hard to find the animals in forest. We saw sloths, monkeys, numerous types of birds and other wildlife. The rest of tour was very informative and Rupert was great! Would highly recommend Your Lucky Tour.

    Highlights Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Limon.

    How much does Highlights Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $147 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Limon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Highlights Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Limon is not rushed.

    Is Highlights Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Limon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Highlights Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Highlights Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Limon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Limon and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Highlights Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Limon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Limon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Limon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Tour to Cahuita National Park from Puerto Limon, The Sloth and Kayak Tour - Ethical wildlife encounters, Bribri Magic Chocolate and Waterfall Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Limon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Limon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Highlights Tour?

    +

    Included: Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Drinks; Food and drinks; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Highlights Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Limon. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Highlights Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Highlights Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Highlights Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Limon. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Highlights Tour?

    +

    Across 7 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, good for families. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
