happycruiser#1 Posted January 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Does anyone know if we can get tours on the dock in Puerto Limon (San Jose)? I am not interested in taking the HAL tours on hugh 50+ bus. Or are there private tours that you can recommend that would include the Tortuguero Canal or the rain forest.

jagsfan Posted January 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2017 One source of info can be the Roll Calls of your ship, sand itinerary, but earlier. People discuss their plans and tour companies.

Thanks Hi happycruiser I think that if I were choosing a private tour I would arrange it before arriving. You can find information at the port of calls threads on this site as well as on tripadvisor. It has been a while since we were there last, but one thing I did remember is that Costa Rica has a lot of earthquakes. Not necessarily bad in themselves, but the roads were really bad. I would be cautious on how far you venture from the cruise port (if not on a cruiseline tour) in case of mechanical breakdown. I guess I would only book privately if the reviews were very good. hope this helps have a great cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
