Crocodile Boat Tours in Jaco Beach

One of our favorite tours in Jaco Beach is the Crocodile Boat Tour. Last weekend we were invited by our friends that operate it at the Tarcoles River only 15 minutes away from our vacation rentals in Jaco.

The most impresive thing about this tour is the huge crocodiles that inhabit the river, some of them measuring up to 17 feet long! The funny thing is they have put them names, so we met some big crocs like Osama Big Laden, Tornado and other small guys like Justin Bieber.

One of the guys in the boat feeds them so it lets you see how big they are, we asked our guide if any accidents had happened and he says none, they know these animals since they are little kids, so they know their behavior and know how to get close to them. The crocodiles are also used to them so they swim close to the boat to get fed when they feel the boat approaching.

Look how big Tornado is! It was difficult to fit it in the picture.

It is also very nice to ride through the river and photograph lots of exotic birds, as well as the mangrove forest close to the river mouth which is full of crabs.

Jaco Costa Rica Vacations Are The Perfect Getaway Any Time Of The Year

Enjoying Jaco Costa Rica vacations can be a truly pleasant experience in regards to both the beautiful environment of Costa Rica and the ability to get out of the country for a while.  Vacations are a very important part of life, no matter where you live or work; the daily drudgery of one’s work and home routine can cause stress without a break to get away from it all.  Working in America is especially taxing, as this nation is at the bottom of the list in terms of average vacation days taken by workers; with Italy the highest at an average of thirty-nine vacation days taken per year, America comes in at only thirteen per year, ranking well below many European countries, including Japan.
In short, it is no small wonder that stress eats away at the average American; the continual focus on the ability to provide for one’s family and the pressure from management to not take too much time off away from work can contribute to high blood pressure and a host of other medical complications.  Since life was not meant to be lived as one continual cycle of work, investing in a well-earned vacation is extremely beneficial.  Jaco Beach vacation rentals are the perfect getaway for an individual, couple or family, as the lush beaches of Costa Rica and beautiful scenery offer an escape.
Although it is a smaller country, Costa Rica is in a unique position where it has tropical dry forest to the North and a wet and rainy forest to the South.  Jaco is located in the middle of the country on the Pacific Coast and offers many different attractions such as ATV tours of the coast, jungle spas and zipline tours through the rainforest.   Jaco Costa Rica vacations are the perfect opportunity to relax and spend time away from home; check out our vacation packages today!
