The park is a fabulous place to see a vast array of exotic birds, animals, insects and plants. Don’t miss getting a great guide, as we did in Justo Lopez. It’s well worth it! He’s at jupalori@yahoo.com & Facebook and instagram. 506.8778-8438

A hotel is located in lovely gardens with lots of wildlife flying about. The rooms are basic, no wardrobes, no drawers, no hairdryers. Food is average . Ate there 2 nights. Easy to walk to the local town which is colourful at night and very vibrant. The area is known as little Jamaica and it has that feel about it as you walk around, you can access the nature park at the end of the town. Beautiful beach also there

Totally recommend spending some time in Cahuita National Park. Tons of treasures to be seen - plants, animals, the beach... Recommend hiring a guide to show you around, without ours we would not have seen nearly as much wildlife.

It is a great and beautiful park. We had omg the most knowledge - st guide call " Tito " we saw 25 different animals. We felt safe with him. We 4 old ladies highly recommend Tito. We had a blast !!!

This community and park is spectacular!! But it appears there is a large number of tourists who are so ignorant. You are visiting here treat other humans with respect ....and for goodness sakes in the park recognize you are in another environment of living breathing animals/insects/reptiles etc...be mindful you are disturbing them in their home!!!

The excursion to the park was very interesting. Our guide, Juan Carlos, was very attentive to details as to the description of customs and the local fauna. We took a long walk on the forest. We stopped at a fruit vendor place where we could buy coffee and other souvenirs. After the walk on the park, we were taken to a restaurant to have lunch which took a lot of our time. My husband and I would have liked to have gone to a restaurant by the park so as to be able to go to the beach. This was supposed to be part of the tour. We appreciate the curtesy and happy attitude of our bilingual guide and driver.

While visiting Cahuita, we explored this incredible park in the morning. It offers a truly unique experience as you can stroll along the beaches and through the forest while observing a variety of wildlife. Our long walk allowed us to see numerous animals and appreciate the natural beauty of the area. If you happen to be in the vicinity of Cahuita, I highly recommend taking the time to visit this park - it's definitely worth it. Although there is no official entrance fee, a donation is appreciated.

We came here on a tour from our cruise ship. We had a wonderful guide who took us into the park where we saw monkeys and sloths. After the national park, we went to a different area of the park that was along the beach. This was a very nice walk where there were similar animals but much more. The beach area by the park was very nice with a restaurant near the beach entrance. Do not forget to spray with insect repellent. You will need it when you walk through the national park with all the trees and foliage.

We explored this small but beautiful National Park with a guide from Cahuita Tours (and our 7y old son). We went for the hike only tour (and passed this time for the snorkeling opportunity which was offered as part of a package - although it might have been quite an experience with the local coral reef). The hike itself is rather easy and can easily be done alone as you just need to follow the single track. However, the guide helped us finding the animals (especially the smaller ones) and he gave us extra background information. We had a very successful day and saw a lot of animals, including different monkey species (howler and capuchin monkeys, both from a very close distance), different types of snakes (including a big boa and the venomous yellow eyelash viper snake), different lizards and iguanas, crabs, butterflies and other insects, gold orb spiders, a raccoon and its funny Coati brother and of course some sloths. Except for a beautiful eagle, we didn't see a lot of birds though. Please make sure you bring enough water and mosquito repellent. At the end of the approx. 8 km walk (4km one way to the Punta Cahuita which is the return point and which you need to pass before 2 pm), we treated ourselves with a refreshing dive into the warm Caribbean sea!

Great National Park to visit at the caribean in Costa Rica. Is you have done snorkel before at the caribean sea the place is not a must. Better if you pay for a guide to show you the animals through the trail. You will see so many that otherwise you wont. Try to get there early because they start to close at 2pm, bring a towel, water and a lot of repelent. Have fun!! Pura Vida!!
