We had a very disappointing trip sold by Destination Services CR to Palo Verde which was terrible mainly because of our guide. From the moment we transferred from one van to join the guide and 4 other passengers, we were made to feel like we were interrupting his time with his British passengers.
The guide treated us like second class citizens and barely spoke to us. He didn't check to see if we heard him, didn't answer our questions (the only exceptions were when I caught him alone and he didn't have a choice). He went to the extent of putting on a fake British accent so that his British passengers could understand him better, but couldn't be bothered to check if we heard or understood him.
I don't know what the problem was, but we first went to the wrong dock and then had to drive another 15 minutes to get to the correct dock. As a result of this, we ended up on the boat ride for only about an hour instead of the 1.5 hours the Destination Services CR salesperson had mentioned to me.
To make things worse, multiple times during the trip the guide said that mid-afternoon was the worst time to take this trip since all the birds and animals would be resting and not much would be visible. If this is the case, why did Destination Services CR even sell us the afternoon tour?
I have to imagine the guide knew that very little would be visible because he has taken this trip multiple times. If this is truly the case, Destination Services CR is doing a big disservice to customers like me by selling this trip. If it is not true, it just reinforces how little the guide cared about his passengers that he kept telling us we wouldn't see anything after we paid a hefty amount and took a long drive to take this trip.
To continue the terrible experience, as soon as we got on the boat, he told all of us "if you see anything, point it out to me and I'll explain" and stretched out in the back of the boat. While the 2 guides on other Destination Services trips we'd taken were highly engaging, looking for sights and pointing them out to us with a laser pointer, this guide did absolutely nothing. It was either the passengers (our group included) or the driver of the boat who pointed things out to each other. Why did we even need a guide on this trip then?
I'm taking the step of putting all of the above in a Trip Advisor review because no one else should go through an experience like this when they are on vacation to try and enjoy themselves and learn about a new country and its ecology, etc.
Please note that before writing this review, I spoke in person with the salesperson who sold us this tour. He said all the right things, took down my phone number and email and assured me that someone from the Destination Services CR office would contact me about this trip. I have now waited more than a month and have heard nothing from Destination Services CR.

Great river boat tour with a driver and guide who spotted wildlife and got us up close with crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas and multiple bird species. Recommend booking a trip early in the day when animals are more active. Tour included shuttle and Costa Rican lunch. Good value!

So beautiful to see the birds in the wetlands . Hard to put into words. There were lots of animals running around and a great place to experience nature. We stayed 4 nights. Bedroom was very basic but privacy was good. The staff were terrific and we really enjoyed the simple home cooking served canteen style. Some of the best no pretensions, limited choice but fresh and good ingredients. My only criticism was a lack of home comforts.. like a comfy chair to sit under a tree

We had booked this excursion online before leaving and it was a good decision. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. The super nice guide. This day included a boat trip on the Tempisque River where we saw different birds, crocs and monkeys, even one came on the boat. Then a typical old-fashioned meal at the Les Coyotes farm in Ortega: super good with a demonstration of Guaitil pottery. Very good day

Visited early in the am, before the boat loads of tourist arrive and the heat descends . We saw a ton of wild life - crocodiles, king fishers, heron, iguanas, basilisk lizard, capuchin monkeys and long nosed coati. Amazing eco-system !

We rented a car and drove to palo verde on some very bumpy farm road for more than two hours from playa conchal. We saw we were getting lost because the GPS directed us through the sugar cane fields instead of the highway. But the drive was interesting despite being very bumpy and dusty as we saw framers working in the field and some animals. When we got to the national park, there was only one another car besides us. We had to pay almost $14 for each adult and $6 for each child to get into the park. Very expensive for a national park. The guy at the entrance spoke no English but luckily the other tourist spoke Spanish and was able to translate for us. We were told to drive to the river and wait for the boat. After driving for about 10-15 minutes, the road was blocked by a falling tree. it was very strange because the tree seems like it had been there for some time and the guy at the entrance told us nothing about it. We drove back to the entrance and the guy said he would call someone to cut down the tree but would take 30 minutes and plus another 30 minutes to drive to the river, there was no way we would be able to make it on time for the boat ride. We decided to drive back to our resort.
On our way back to the resort we got stopped by police asking for donations to the local police. He spoke no English but said something like my child didn’t have the proper car seat I think then handed us a piece of paper with English asking for donation. After giving him $5 he said no problem for the car seat and let us go!

Another fabulous trip to the Palo Verde National Park with Mardigi Tours. I have brought all my guests on this adventure to see crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas and so many birds. Marvin has such an eagle eye to find all these natural inhabitants. This had to be at least my fifth time visiting the park with Marvin and I have enjoyed it every time!

We visited a villa where we enjoyed fruit and lunch. The tilapia was delicious. We then proceeded on a boat tour. Spotted so many crocs and animals. We then visited a farm and saw a demo of sugar cane. We then finished our tour by spending time at Coco Beach.
Great tour!
Great tour!

Is there any walking birding tours here? I want to do the boat but I also want to see the birds away from the river bank. All I can find is river cruises

Is there any company that will pick us up in La Fortuna, take us to Palo Verde for the tour and deliver us to a coastal town like Potrero afterwards.
Skrevet d. 2. marts 2022
Hi guys. Help me
So. It is possible to drive to the park. You pay 9 dollars entrance fee.
After that. Can you walk around yourself? Or is a guide mandatory?

Hi Janice,
I read your review of Palo Verde Park/River cruise, but I think you have the wrong park name. There are no mud pots there? Can you please verify? Thank you.

What I would like to know is what happens about breakfast with the tui palo verde trip especially when pick up time is earlier than 6am??? What time do you return to the hotel as well?

Hi,
We are going to drive to the park like what you did. If I understand you correctly, you paid $9 to enter the park, additionally, you paid 56000 colones to do a boat tour includes lunch afterwards? This tour is like a boat tour along the river to see animals etc which last an hour to two? I assume I will pay & join the tour right at the park entrance at the same time I pay the $9, am I right?
Thank you very much.
Skrevet d. 21. april 2018
Yes, there is a place where you pay the $9 park entrance fee at the place where the tour starts. You cannot book the tour there.
Skrevet d. 9. juli 2018
We are thinking of touring this park on our own without a tour. Is this advisable?
Skrevet d. 17. marts 2018
Yes, if you have a car you can drive there yourself. If you want to take the river cruise you can have the gentleman at the ranger station call the dock and arrange for it. I wrote a review recently.

Is the parc worth to go there without doing a boat trip ?
Skrevet d. 11. marts 2018
I will be flying into Liberia on January 26 and would love to take a river tour of Palo Verde National Park with my boyfriend on January 27. We'd like to stay close to the park so we can take a tour early in the morning and see as many animals as possible. We are looking into either staying at the Ranger Station the night before although we haven't heard back from them, or taking a tour through another company. Which do you all suggest?
PV Ranger Station option:
1) How much does it cost to stay there and how do you book this?
2) Can you arrange tours when you get there or do you need to do this in advance. How much are private or group tours and how long are they?
Independent Tour Operator option:
I read great things about Thomson Excursions on TripAdvisor. It looks like they've changed names to TUI and I haven't been able to submit an inquiry through their online form.
1) What email should I use to contact them?
2) Are they actually authorized to start as early as 5am? What other tour operators do that? Did this really help see more animals?
3) How much is the tour? We don't mind if it's with a group as opposed to private. We are traveling on a budget and love bird-watching.
4) Where does it pick up from?
5) Can they help arrange lodging at the ranger station, and do they pick up from there?
5) If we don't hear from the ranger station, is there other lodging nearby that they pick up from so we can start at 5am?
Thanks!
Skrevet d. 17. januar 2018
There is no lodging at the ranger station. Did you mean by the entrance? That's where we paid to get inside the park which I think opens at 8am. There was a research station in the middle of the park I don't know if you can stay there as a tourist.
You can arrange the boat ride when you get to the entrance. The ranger will call the boat dock for you. We did that on our own and the drive from the entrance to the dock was about 40 mins. Pack a lunch or snacks and most importantly enough water as there is no place where you can buy those from inside the park. The boat ride is about 2 hours, $20/adult $10/child under 10.
