What people are saying about Jaco

The tour company was prompt in picking us up and communicative when they had to change the river we were rafting due to a large storm. The guides were knowledgeable, very friendly, and really helped us have a wonderful day. Both my sister and I agreed that this was the best day of our trip to Costa Rica. Highly recommend this tour!

Our guide was informative and told us all about the plants and animals. We walked through the butterfly pavilion, around the grounds, and rode up the gondola to the top. We were able to get out and walk a short distance to the beautiful overlook. It is well worth the visit!
