Puerto Limón

Puerto Limón sits on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast as a vibrant gateway to a country renowned for biodiversity, peaceful democracy, and a rich Afro-Caribbean culture. Unlike many Caribbean calls, Limón invites visitors to step straight into lush rainforests, mangrove estuaries, and coral reefs within easy reach of the ship, offering excursions that balance wildlife, culture, and authentic regional flavor. Signature experiences include guided rainforest canopy walks, boat safaris through mangrove channels toward wildlife-rich estuaries, and day trips to Cahuita, Gandoca-Manzanillo, and Tortuguero where howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, and sea turtles provide dramatic encounters. Adventurers can snorkel along protected reefs, while culture enthusiasts savor Afro-Caribbean cuisine and music in nearby towns such as Puerto Viejo. The port's modern terminal features efficient docking across multiple berths, shaded concourses, and on-site tour desks that pair guests with small-group excursions designed to minimize travel time and maximize time ashore. Onboard services reflect Costa Rica's famed hospitality: bilingual guides, comfortable transport options, eco-friendly private tours, and thoughtfully curated itineraries that blend nature immersion with beach time and cultural discovery. Together, Puerto Limón stands apart from other calls with its easy access to iconic protected areas, its story-rich culture, and its commitment to sustainable travel that showcases Costa Rica's natural beauty and enduring spirit of peace and democracy.
