Haven't been on any of those, so can't provide relevant comment. However, you should be aware that if you are expecting to see jungle animals on the jungle ride don't be surprised if you don't see any. We've done the Rain Forest hike (loads of mud and leaf cutter ants) and were told that most animals are active early in the morning or evening when it's cooler (those guys are smarter than us). You may see a monkey or too or some snoozing gators, but not much else. The pontoon sounds like fun though.

Just came back from a cruise and took the pontoon jungle ride in Costa Rica. We did not do the excursion from the ship, but hooked up with a private tour guide at the end of the pier. Try to find a guide named Christian - he is terrific. He is a young gentlemen, who just finished college and extremely knowledgable about the island, plants and animals. He gave us a great tour which included the pontoon ride, a train ride, and trip to a banana plantation. The day was very interesting.
