River Boat Tour on the CROC-INFESTED Tarcoles River | Costa Rica Nature Tour
Join us as we take you on a river boat tour of the crocodile-infested waters of the Tarcoles River in Costa Rica in search for beautiful tropical birds and giant Costa Rican crocodiles. We saw over 50 types of birds on this tour! It was incredible!
We want to quickly thank Greg Hertler, who took the tour with us and was nice enough to provide us with some of the BEAUTIFUL photos of birds that he took on the trip. Thank you so much, Greg!
We found this Tarcoles River birding/crocodile nature tour through Mangrove Birding Journeys, who are located in the town of Tarcoles, Costa Rica. Our guide, Randall, who is an incredibly experienced bird watcher and photographer, was amazingly good at spotting birds left and right on our tour and knowing exactly what it was when he saw it. Our heads were spinning trying to keep up with everything that he was pointing out to us!

As Randall tells us in the video, the Tarcoles River is one of the best locations in the world for bird watching because of its unique location between North and South America and being between rain forest to the south and plains to the north. According to Randall, there are over 160 types of birds that fly through that area - an incredible amount for such a small area. We would highly recommend this tour if you have a chance to visit Costa Rica!
Stay tuned - more Costa Rica travel vlogs are on the way soon!

Yes! Would highly recommend making it to Costa Rica if you can. Well worth it
Did your guide say over 700 species?! Wow! He had a great eye spotting the birds. We would really enjoy a tour like this, you all got soo close to that croc 😁 Looking forward to your adventures next week and seeing if you get caught in that ☁️
Wow what an awesome experience! I would love to go on a tour like this for sure - and would be very concerned about the crocodiles sneaking up on me 😅😅 Seems like it was a nice tour size too - not too crowded or busy so easy to ask questions and learn from the guide. Costa Rica is so beautiful!! Can't wait to visit.
Hey guys ! Love your video and your spirit 😃 really wanna start traveling as well) hope we can do it soon. Now we can travel with you watching your vids Cool!
This tour looked right up my street. Was that sound at 3:47 coming from that bird? 🙂 Gorgeous sunset, what a perfect day.
This looked such a relaxing trip (except the close up crocs!) at 6:30 I was so worried for Bens left leg being so close to the edge 🐊 😅
Wow, Costa Rica is beautiful! This tour looks amazing, and your tour guide was so sharp in spotting all the wildlife 💯 you guys got so close to that croc 😱 really love the shots of you guys sitting on the front of the boat watching the sunset…you look so at peace and I could see you are so happy with your decision to travel full time 🤗
Ben our middle school science teacher would be very jealous.
