Puntarenas (Puerto Caldera), Costa Rica

Jungle Boat & Crocodile Safari

Costa Rican Wildlife in Its Unique Natural Habitat Set sail amid the mangroves on a jungle boat to observe local wildlife and discover Costa Rica’s crocodiles. Your adventure unfolds near the Carara National Park, on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. The Tarcoles Estuary is noted for its mangrove forests, and the mouth of the Tárcoles River is considered to be one of the richest sites for seabirds and shorebirds. Keep your eyes peeled for the cuckoo, hummingbirds, Panama flycatchers and many herons and egrets that live here. Be sure to watch the shoreline as well for iguanas and lizards. The riverbanks are home to a large crocodile colony, with some of these reptiles measuring nearly ten feet in length. Before returning to your ship, you will also have the chance to visit a local market. Here, you can browse for mementos, sample delicious tropical fruit or taste Costa Rican coffee before returning to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
