Docking in Peurto Limon....best place to see monkeys

[cdnliving]

Hi. We are first time cruisers, and first time to Costa Rica. We have two children who, if they do nothing else on this vacation, want to see monkeys -& not in captivity. Is this possible from this port? If so, how do we go about it...ie. what tour co. etc..... Thanks.....

O.K. I am not sure what cruiseline you are on(we were Princess) but most of the cruise lines have about the same excursions. On Princess one is called Eco-Tortuguero Canal boat trip. What a great excursion. You float down the river, see monkeys, sloths, alligators and all sorts of unique birds. It was one of the best excursion that I have been on. So check out your cruiseline's excursion list and find one that says Tortuguero Canal boat trip.

Check out Charlie Soto...a private tour and you can actually HOLD a small monkey and a sloth (not My favorite animal but...) ...you also do the river ride, banana processing plant etc. we were very happy with this tour...okeydokeytours.com ...and we were in a van with 4 other people...much better than a huge BUS with 50!!!!
