Adventurers of all ages, get ready: explore the tropical wilderness of the Nicoya Gulf on a crocodile safari. You'll take a leisurely boat ride on the Tárcoles River while admiring the lush scenery around you.

Tárcoles River Crocodile Safari

At the scheduled time, we'll meet next to the Tárcoles River and set off on a safari to see crocodiles in their natural habitat. This part of Tárcoles is home to one of the world's largest populations of these semiaquatic reptiles.

Once we've introduced ourselves, we'll board a boat that will take us downstream to start our safari. Get ready to see American crocodiles that are up to 16 feet (5 metres) long!

During our safari, we'll venture deep into the jungle and learn how the crocodiles and other wild animals living around the Tárcoles River survive here. This area also features numerous bird species and an incredible mangrove ecosystem.

As we cruise through the Guacalillo Estuary, you'll observe four different species of trees. Additionally, our safari will bring us close to more than 50 types of birds, iguanas, and Jesus Christ lizards.

At the end of your jungle crocodile safari, you'll return to the meeting point 2 hours after pick-up.
