Wildlife river boat safari

Costa Rica is world-famous for its nature and wildlife. People come from all over the world to visit this lush paradise. Costa Rica´s land is protected by 28% as national parks and 5% of all the world’s species exist here. That makes this a perfect place to get in touch with nature. One of the absolute best ways to discover wildlife is by going on one of the Wildlife river boat safari available around the country.

While enjoying your Wildlife river boat safari you will safely and comfortably float on one of Costa Rica’s many rivers with your professional wildlife guide with a nice roof on top of your head. Our great guides will tell you all about the fascinating animals as you close in on them in their natural habitat. You will learn all about these amazing animals such as howler monkeys, white face monkeys, iguanas, bats, snakes, turtles, and of course, the mighty crocodiles. For the birdwatcher this is also a great trip to see new species as the rivers are full of Costa Rican and migratory birds such as boat bill herons, white ibis, roseate spoonbills, anhingas, jabiru storks, and many more.

During the dry season the Tempisque River is one of Costa Rica’s most important watering holes for almost all animals nearby. This protected area is a natural home to thousands of different animals of plants, 375 of Costa Rica’s roughly 900 species of birds can be found in Palo Verde National Park.

While on the Pacific coast and in the beautiful beach town Tamarindo you can also choose to go on a shorter Wildlife river boat safari if you want to avoid longer transportation. You will still be able to see a lot of wild animals here as well.

If you are travelling with us and have a Tortuguero package included you will have a Wildlife river boat safari included from your lodge to enjoy nature and animals. Tortuguero is located on the Caribbean coast and it’s a magical place. But don’t miss out! Even if you have enjoyed this river boat tour it doesn’t mean you can’t go on a river boat tour on the Pacific coast.
