Expert: Visit Costa Rica - 9/24/2011

Question
Hi! I'll be in Costa Rica mid-October. I've been looking for a good tour group since we're coming in on a cruise and will be there for only one day. I'd like to take a ride in the canal, see the rain forest, visit a banana and a coffee plantation, and and buy some coffee and chocolates.

So far, I've checked out Oscar Brown Tours, You're Lucky Tour, and Gekko Trail Adventures. However, I've heard that it isn't necessary to book ahead of time with a large tour agency and that there are tour buses/vans that wait for people who are looking for tours.  Do you know how much these tours charge? I've heard that these tours are actually really good. Is it better to go on these tours or is it better to prebook with a bigger tour company?

Also, I've never had Caribbean Lobster before.  Are there any particularly good restaurants that serve lobster?  Also, how much is considered reasonable?

Thank you!
