We just walked off the pier and through the markets. Stopped along the beach and had something to drink to cool down before returning to the ship. There were a lot of friendly locals because it was just before Easter and they were vacationing as well. We bought a beautiful wooden lazy susan. Read Less

Folkloric show done by schoolchildren was very enjoyable. Best place to buy coffee. Read Less

"Scenic Costa Rica". They took us to a church where young children danced for us. Then walked across the street to a square where there were vendors. Short and sweet tour. Taste of the culture and scenery. Read Less

Great 7 hour excursion and a bargain at $130.00 per couple for groups of 16. Allie our guide was the best. Read Less

Walked the town and toured the fort. Booked the cruise too late to get my choice of the tours. Fort self tour was worth the cost and the views made the walk up worth the effort. People in the town were friendly. Read Less

The boat was very easy to get on and off. We saw a few crocodiles and many birds. Read Less

-Puntarenas Costa Rica- This country is gorgeous and the people were amazing!! you can tell that most people live comfortably, and poverty is not very visible like in other countries. It is also a very safe country to visit. We did a private excursion with Chico and he was amazing!!! He has a brand new 14 passenger van, and we were the only 6 with him.. he took us EVERYWHERE!! Went to almost every place the cruise excursions went to, and we had lunch at an amazing restaurant up high in the tropical rain forrest.. it was open air and the views were breathtaking!! He also took us to a private monkey habitat.. and we had the best time.. monkeys everywhere..and they climb right on you and you feed them fruit. it was sooo much fun and only $3 a person... we also bought some arts and craft and water there.. was just the best experience! We also went and saw the crocodiles.. the rain forrest, the volcano, wild life.. beautiful parrots and birds... went shopping.. had great great delicious milkshakes and smoothies... of all the ports, Costa Rica was our favorite country and we hope to return and spend some time there!

Best tour on this cruise. Good guide and really fun zip-line experience . Read Less

Beaches not really nice. Read Less

The zip line was great. The venue is a bit tired and unloved. The souvenir shop was very tired and overpriced. Princess cruises should vet this places a bit better. Read Less

Water level was down so the boat' engine filled with mud and had to change boats. Nothing the company did wrong, but did get to see many crocodiles. Read Less

We had a very good guide in the coffee plantation, we learned a lot and were able to sample some good coffee. The excursion also included the cart factory in Sarchi, another interesting experience. Read Less
