    Fantastic Animal Rescue and rehabilitation centre.

    We only did the Jaguar Rescue centre. Not the full day tour. So this is actually just a review of the Jaguar Rescue centre. It is a fantastic Rescue and rehabilitation centre for wild animals that have been hurt, abandoned or raised illegally in captivity. Great information and interesting stories about the "permanent residents" who they can't rehabilitate back into the wild for one reason or another.. Very good guide (Ale), who really gave a great tour. Well worth it, and also good to know we are supporting this great work.

    Unforgettable- Wonderful! Book it now! :)

    We chose to visit after reading about the incredible work JRC does. The staff is dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly inspiring! They share heartfelt stories about each animal’s journey and are deeply committed to releasing healthy animals back into the wild. I highly recommend visiting JRC—it was a wonderful experience, and every ticket helps support their mission! The Punta Uva Beach and Jungle Hike was equally fantastic. We saw mama and baby sloths, monkeys, birds, a variety of vibrant flora and fauna, and stunning beaches. Once again, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great job—highly recommended!

    Great experience

    The two experiences were very different but both amazing. The work that is done by the Rescue Center was so interesting and heartwarming. Johnny was our guide. He has volunteered there for years and a perfect combination of humorous, informative and passionate. We were changed. Our Punta Uva hike was guided by Fernan. He was supposed to just be our driver but was great as a guide. Bit of a challenging hike for us old folks but so fun and again, informative

    The Wildlife Jungle tour is something to definitely do while in Puerto Viejo!

    This tour was awesome! Booking the trip with Genesys was easy and she was personable and professional. Our guide Adrian definitely exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of the area was unbelievable and his sloth finding skills were so impressive. 😲 👍👍

    Loved the Punta Uva beach hike

    We ended up booking 4 different tours with Caribe Fun Tours while staying in Punta Cocles and loved all of them. The guides - especially Shiloh who was our guide for this tour - were great. The best part of this tour for us was the Punta Uva beach hike and the number of birds/wildlife that we saw walking around that beach and to the lookout spot. Loved it! Would definitely recommend using Caribe Fun Tours while in Puerto Viejo area.

    Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 26 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 Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike?

    +

    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 Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike?

    +

    Around 9 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike 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 Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike?

    +

    Included: Entrance fees; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Fruit Snack. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Limon. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike 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 Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike?

    +

    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 Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike 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 Wildlife Rescue Center and Punta Uva Beach & Jungle Hike?

    +
