// what to expect
Experience Costa Rica’s Central Pacific from the forest floor, the treetops, and the water—all in one port day. Walk beneath the rainforest canopy, cross hanging bridges for a different perspective over the forest, and cruise the Tárcoles River in search of American crocodiles, scarlet macaws, monkeys, and other wildlife. Then observe the river from above at the Crocs Skywalk while your naturalist guide connects each landscape to the region’s remarkable ecosystem. By combining active exploration, wildlife viewing, and scenic discovery, this 6-in-1 shore excursion offers a remarkably complete introduction to Costa Rica’s wild Central Pacific coast.
