We had a wonderful tour! We met them at the entry to the park, per our choice. They were very flexible with our group. They did not have infant sized life vests but did have children’s size but the whole ride felt very safe. The tour guides were all so friendly and knowledgeable! We were able to see iguanas, beautiful birds, crocodiles, and even walked in the mangroves to see some monkeys! It was wonderful!

It was so awesome!! We got lucky and watched an Olive Ridley turtle dig a hole and lay her eggs! The guides were pretty amazing and super knowledgeable! Alex took us right to her and let us watch to the end when she found her way back to the ocean! Amazing! I loved this tour!

It was fantastic! There were 9 of us, 6 adults and three children, 4,6 and 9. The crew was very attentive and lunch was delicious. It is a beautiful way to see the amazing coast. Thank you Dream Chaser for this opportunity!

It was fun the staff were very accommodating and vigilant with safety and showing marine life (dolphins). Had an amazing time, it was a great way to spend an afternoon in tamarindo.

We felt so comfortable on this tour. The drivers and guides are so friendly! We saw all kinds of birds, the white faced capuchin monkey, iguanas, and crocodiles!
