Costa Rica's Caribbean port is rainforest first, beach second

Ships use the Limón / Moín area for Caribbean Costa Rica calls. From here the useful day is usually canals, canopy or a sanctuary visit - not a generic Caribbean beach script. Plan for habitat and culture; treat animal sightings as possible, never promised.

Canal waterways

Slow boat time through rainforest channels where you look for wildlife without scripting a checklist.

Tortuguero canals →

Sanctuary day

Rescued animals in care settings - more predictable viewing than wild trails, still not a performance.

Sloth sanctuary →

Canopy & inland

Veragua-style rainforest structure: tram, trails and biodiversity storytelling.

Limón / Moín logistics before the rainforest

Confirm where your sailing arrives and how operators organise pickup. Transfers inland take real time - stack fewer stops and keep your own buffer rather than chasing every attraction.
