Maximize your time in port with Bradypus Ride's ultimate wildlife and nature excursion! This perfectly timed, half-day tour is designed exclusively for cruise ship passengers, offering a deep dive into Costa Rica's breathtaking biodiversity while ensuring a guaranteed on-time return to your vessel.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS (Approx. 5-6 Hours):
Tarcoles River Crocodile Safari: Board a safe and comfortable boat for a guided nature cruise on the famous Tarcoles River. Get up close—but not too close!—to the American crocodiles, often seeing specimens over 15 feet long. Your guide will also point out incredible local and migratory birds, including the vibrant Scarlet Macaws.
Carara National Park (Easy Hike): Enjoy a relaxing and informative nature walk on the park's primary trails. The walking level is easy, making this a perfect experience for all ages and fitness levels. Carara is a key transitional forest, making it one of the country’s best places to spot unique wildlife like monkeys, sloths, and the iconic Macaws in their natural habitat.
Scenic Souvenir & Lunch Stop: After the wildlife excitement, we will make a stop at a beautiful local garden/vendor area. Here you can browse for authentic Costa Rican souvenirs and relax with a meal at a nearby restaurant. (Note: The cost of lunch is not included in the tour price.)
