Best in Costa Rica This is by far the best tour and transportation company in Costa Rica. I have been coming to Costa Rica for over 30 years and have used numerous tour & travel companies. It is a hit or miss proposition. About a dozen years ago I found Odyssey.All their vehicles are new and state of the are with Wi-Fi. Their drivers are super courteous and knowledgeable. Whenever I have friends or family coming to Costa Rica, I always recommend this company and have never been disappointed. Weather you just need transportation or an adventure tour, you can't go wrong with them.

Enjoyed the Jaco experience We ended up booking this excursion through Viator but wished we had booked directly with the local company directly. We were met at the port by our driver. There was our group of 4 and another couple of 2. We were told 2 different times to meet at the end of the pier, but luckily we got off the ship early and they didn’t have to wait for us. Allen, our driver was knowledgeable and shared information about the area. We were taking to an area right off the main road where we saw monkeys and were able to feed them banana slices and get as many photos as we wanted. We then drove south to where we boarded a boat for a 30 minute ride down the river towards the ocean while the guides explained bout the birds in the area and crocodile habitat. We then proceeded back up the rive nod about 100 yards past where we caught the bot, we found a large male crocodile one one side of the river and a larger female on the other side. We ere Blue to get plenty of photos.We then drove to a local restaurant where a delicious lunch was provided.We then headed south to a beach area where we were able to walk on the beach nd check out several of the local vendors. After about an hour t this location, we started the drive back to the port, arriving in plenty of time to catch the ship. Overall we enjoyed our day.

All the best of Puntarenas, Costa Rica! On April 18, 2023 we toured the area around Puntarenas, Costa Rica as a small group of two couples led by tour guide Albert. Albert was knowledgeable of the area, the country, and offered commentary that was very interesting and articulate in English. We saw many monkeys, birds and crocodiles. Albert and the driver took us to places where no large bus could go such as a fishing village, down narrow roads to embark on a jungle river cruise with The Crocodile Man boat tours and another typical small village. The lunch provided at a sea view restaurant was fantastic. Based on our experience we can highly recommend Odessey Tours in general and Albert in particular.

Well worth the time and money Our guide was Lester, and he was very knowledgeable and able to teach us well. We learned a lot about the animals and plants of Costa Rica and I consider it money so spent.

Best Excursion ever! I went today with my mom and another 2 people from the Cruise Ship. Prior to this, communicating was very easy with Odyssey via What'sApp and they were prompt in responding. We paid when we got there. The driver Enrique and our tour guide Ronald waited for us in a Mercedes minivan, comfortable with AC and Wifi. The tour was amazing. Ronald was the best tour guide ever. He showed us everything and answered every question. We saw monkeys, went on a crocodile tour, they provided great lunch, went something up the mountains in the van and got a great view of the city. Ronald had a telescope and took pictures for us through it of every bird there is. He is so knowledgeable of all the different species and other animals. We also went to a nice resort that felt like a jungle. Also stopped by a souvenir shop. Our ship had to depart little earlier than initially stated and they accommodated the tour accordingly and brought us back 30 mins before like we asked them to. Overall, this is so worth the money and more. No way you could see all of this on your own in 7 hours. Make sure to tip these guys well. Best tour ever! Thank you Ronald and Odyssey tours.

Educational and easy way to tour Manuel Antonio National Park! Manuel Antonio National Park is a must-see if you are in the area, and this tour company did a good job of making our visit fun, educational and easy. The van that transported us from Jaco to the park was clean and comfortable, with free wifi and good air conditioning. The tour of the park was educational (learning about the flora and fauna, as well as the wildlife). We didn't see as many animals as we had expected to see, but that is not something the tour company could control. (We did see two kinds of monkeys, a sloth, bats, frogs, birds, etc.) The lunch was not spectacular, but it was nice to have a hot meal and a cool beverage after walking through the jungle and then hanging out on the beach. Speaking of beverage, the tour was advertised as providing bottled water, but none was offered to us. Also, kudos to our guide (Ronnie)...there were some challenging issues and people in our group, and he handled everything very professionally!

Fruits, monkeys, crocodiles, macaws, and nature--lots to see! For a group that wants to take it easy and see sights mostly from a car, this was a great tour! Our guide Geraldo was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. Each of the stops on the tour were interesting. We especially liked the stop to feed the monkeys and learning about the leaf that looks like an ear. The monkeys were surprisingly gentle and fun to observe. Our group was slow-moving and we never felt like we were being rushed along. Thanks, Geraldo!

1820, ear pods, & wildlife sightings: a Pura Vida day with Geraldo! Our day with Geraldo was fantastic! He shared a lot of wonderful information with us about the places we visited as well as the local fauna and wildlife. We were a small group of 8 with one member needing mobility assistance and Geraldo was very helpful and patient throughout our tour. Thanks, Geraldo, for being a fun, informative and flexible guide!
