Best Limon experience for us?

[Paulsitive]

Hello! Me and my wife were wondering what our best option was in Limon regarding shore excursions or just overall experience. Basically, we just want to see some monkeys and wildlife and stuff. Don't mind being on our own or hiking, strenuous is fine. What's the can't miss spots?

We visited Cahuita National Park on a cruise ship stop in Puerto Limon a few years ago.  Not sure what a taxi there might cost but it is about 27 miles from the port.  We actually took the local bus from the bus station, Terminal de Mepe, about 4 blocks to the left on the main drag.  My husband speaks Spanish so we didn't have any issues but I think the bus was labeled as being to Cahuita.  There is a bus terminal a short distance, maybe 2 blocks, from the park entrance on the other end.  We did see some monkeys and an assortment of lizards and birds as we walked through the jungle to Cahuita point.  Considering the distance, you may want to try to join a group tour with one of the tour operators mentioned in this forum (Relax Day Tours, Your Lucky Tour, and Port Limon for example) which offer many tour options.
