Tamarindo
Crocodiles, howler monkeys and herons live ten minutes from Tamarindo’s surf shops, and these boats show them to you properly. Look for captains who cut the engine and hold back; baiting crocodiles is illegal in Costa Rica, and nobody on this list does it. Go at high tide if you can; the boats get deeper into the mangroves.
On the Tamarindo Estuary Boat Safari, embark on an unforgettable adventure that will leave you in awe of Costa Rica's hidden wonders.
