Overview
This enriching excursion takes guests on a scenic 40–45 minute drive from Port Caldera through the Costa Rican countryside to a renowned Wildlife Rescue Center, a sanctuary committed to the rehabilitation and protection of the country’s native wildlife.
Upon arrival, guests embark on a guided 1.5-hour walking tour of the facility. During the visit, you'll have the chance to observe and learn about a wide variety of rescued animals, including sloths, howler and capuchin monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, and other tropical birds and mammals. Knowledgeable guides share insights into each animal’s journey and the center’s broader mission of conservation and education.
The sanctuary setting also offers excellent photo opportunities, making this both a meaningful and memorable visit for nature lovers and families alike.
Following the tour, guests are invited to enjoy light refreshments of fresh tropical fruits, snacks, and bottled water. Time permitting, the tour may include a brief stop in the town of Puntarenas where guests can browse local shops or grab a quick bite before heading back to the cruise ship.
This tour combines education, nature, and authentic Costa Rican hospitality, with a comfortable return to the port guaranteed in time for your ship's departure.
