Creator's Key Takeaways

It's one of those moments that's really hard to describe properly. You know they're wild animals, completely free to disappear back into the trees whenever they want.

Having them confidently climb onto your shoulders and arms felt genuinely surreal.

We honestly could have stayed here all day.

It was very, very special. And we got some lovely shots.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider booking a private excursion for more flexibility and personalized experience.
βœ“Be prepared for hot weather and bring appropriate clothing.
βœ“Use a code system with your group for digestive issues when trying new foods.

Worry about not making it back to the ship on time during a private tour β€” We were back in plenty of time; it helped that we had a late disembarkation and all aboard was not until 8:30 PM.

Join us for an unforgettable day ashore in Costa Rica as our Virgin Voyages adventure aboard Brilliant Lady continues! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡·πŸ’ In this cruise vlog, we arrive in Puntarenas, Costa Rica and head off on a private cruise excursion into the jungle for one of the most incredible wildlife encounters we’ve ever had… hand feeding wild Capuchin monkeys! What started as a short jungle trek quickly turned into an unforgettable experience as the monkeys slowly became curious enough to climb down from the trees, onto our arms and shoulders, for biscuits. Seeing wild monkeys this close β€” completely free in their natural habitat β€” was honestly surreal. Alongside the monkey encounter, we also try local exotic fruits, explore more of Puntarenas, and back onboard we stop by Rojo …. just for cheesecake… priorities 🍰.
