Summary:
This experience was a highlight for our family! Jason was an amazing host/guide. He is very knowledgeable about crocodiles, along with the area and other animals on the river. We learned so much! We saw amazing crocodiles and even got to interact with some under Jason's expertise! It was the rainy season so the river was muddy, but we still saw so many crocodiles. He provided such a fun adventure. Highly reccomend this tour!

Jason’s Crocodile Tours was honestly my favorite part of the trip. Jason was super knowledgeable about the crocodiles and all the other animals we saw along the river. He got us so close to the crocodiles, and we even got to hold the tail of one, which was incredible. You can tell he really loves what he does, and it made the whole experience unforgettable. I’d 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica.
