About this experience

The Caribbean Expedition combines three very different nature experiences near Puerto Limón in one relaxed, cruise-friendly tour. Guests enjoy a scenic boat ride on the Tortuguero Canal, an easy walk through Cahuita National Park, and a visit to Maratopia, our tropical jungle garden in Matama. At Maratopia, guests can see large blue Morpho butterflies, walk among tropical plants, and enjoy a seasonal fruit tasting with fruits grown directly in our garden. Along the way, there is a good chance to spot wild sloths, howler monkeys, tropical birds, reptiles, and other animals, although all wildlife lives freely in nature and sightings are never guaranteed. With small groups, local multilingual guides, direct pickup at the Puerto Limón cruise port, and an on-time return to ship guarantee, this tour is ideal for cruise guests who want to experience Costa Rica’s Caribbean nature without stress.

  2. Enjoy a scenic boat ride on the Tortuguero Canal, one of the best ways to experience the lush Caribbean nature near Puerto Limón. From the water, guests can relax and look for wildlife along the riverbanks, including monkeys, sloths, iguanas, caimans, tropical birds, and other animals. Wildlife sightings are common, but never guaranteed, as all animals live freely in nature.
