Costa Rica had some interesting wild life experiences
Getting to our tour guide was off to a rough start. Greenway Nature Day Tours showed that our tour was cancelled yet i had tickets and had paid almost $2K for the tour. From the start the person i communicated with was not interested in our tour because we wanted to stop at the Sloth Sanctuary on our tour. He finally agreed and then we show up and it showed we were cancelled. Unhappy and we wasted time trying to deal with this situation. Natalie, who it looked like was controlling the tours, stepped in an gave her assistance and arranged for the tour to happen. Without her, i feel l confident we would not have had a tour. Luigi stepped up and took over the tour guide role. We had a nice van for the tour. He drove us through the city calling out points of interest. Our first stop was Cahuita National Park. We walked down the path seeing foliage, trees and wildlife with the beach alongside the park. We saw sloths and monkeys in the trees and other critters i did not care to look at! It did not cost anything to go in the park but they wanted a small donation at the entrance, not a big deal. We stopped for some snacks and a drink at a local bar/restaurant. Then we headed to the Sloth Sanctuary, which is the highlight of the trip, in my opinion. We were scheduled to take this trip 5 years ago but Covid hit and we couldn't do the trip. We were so disappointed but now we were making it happen. The Sanctuary was very interesting. They have 130 sloths housed there. We saw about a dozen. These poor sloths all were abandoned for some reason and they take them in. Some were missing a limb, were blind, deserted by their Mother and it goes on and on. The guide was amazing with his knowledge and explanations for any question we raised. We were there for an hour They fed them while we were there and that was fun to watch them eat. The time flew by and it was worth every penny we paid for that visit. We then took a canal ride and saw more creatures in the wild. The boat guide and the captain of the boat were able to pick out the many animals in the trees. It was enjoyable. Luigi was a super nice guy and willingly took the tour on. We are not sure he does that for a living but he sure did a good job for us. I have to admit that the start of the day left a sour note with me as I knew that original guide was not happy to help us with going to the Sloth Sanctuary. I doubt we would have enjoyed the tour near as much it we had not gone there.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review and we are very sorry about the inconvenience. The situation was that we mixed up (by mistake) your reservation and this causes the trouble. However, since you did the reservation, we include the sloths sanctuary as part of the tour and we were very clear the entrance fee will be on your own. We never rejected to include it as part of the tour. Once you showed up at the pier and spoke with our guide, we move forward inmediately and we resolved the situation and we were able to provide a nice transportation and a good tour guide. This inconvenience was resolved in less than 5 minutes. Good to read that at the end you enjoy the tour with Luigi.

Limon private tour 6-in-1
We had an amazing time on our excursion. We were able to cover a lot of ground, even though our port time was short. Steven was a great guide. He was polite, friendly, punctual, and full of knowledge to share with us. We enjoyed the private tour and being able to go at our own pace, not having to coordinate with a group. It also gave us peace of mind that we would make it back to the ship on time, not having to wait on others. Thank you Greenway!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share feedback following your recent tour with Greenway Tours. It is only through your valuable comments that we are able to excel and continue to deliver the extraordinary to our guests. It was a pleasure to read that you enjoyed your trip with us and I would like to personally thank you for sharing the positive aspects of your experience. On behalf of the team here at Greenway Tours, we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Limon Highlights 6 in 1 Private Tour. Shore Excursion from Limon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Limon.
How much does Limon Highlights 6 in 1 Private Tour. Shore Excursion from Limon cost?
+
Prices start at $250 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 Limon Highlights 6 in 1 Private Tour. Shore Excursion from Limon take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Limon Highlights 6 in 1 Private Tour. Shore Excursion from Limon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 18 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 Limon Highlights 6 in 1 Private Tour. Shore Excursion from Limon?
+
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 Limon Highlights 6 in 1 Private Tour. Shore Excursion from Limon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Limon Highlights 6 in 1 Private Tour. Shore Excursion from Limon?
+
Around 6 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Limon Highlights 6 in 1 Private Tour. Shore Excursion from Limon 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.
