Excellent Adventurous Excursion - Raul was a wonderful guide- skilled knowledgeable, and so kind! There had been some heavy rains in the days leading up to our trip, so the water wasn’t clear enough for much snorkeling, but we still had a great time and Raul was able to get the fish to come to the surface of the water with some fish food he had brought along. We were able to meet up with one of their tour boats that was near the snorkeling area, and use their slide and jump off the upper deck! So fun! The small beach cove area, we visited, was such a neat little spot. We ate delicious fruit while relaxing in the water and our guide even discovered a sloth sleeping in a tree, right on the beach. We highly recommend this excursion and guide! FYI, The kayaking was strenuous the day we went. It took at least 35 minutes each way of consistent vigorous paddling, with an adult and teenager in each kayak.

Excellent snorkeling adventure - Raul and Daniel were our tour guides and they did an amazing job. This excursion is a bit of an exertion but it is worth it.

Josue made our day magical! - The spot is absolutely gorgeous! Warm, turquoise waters surrounded by a lush coastline! Josue was just a joy and brought us to this stunning beach during our tour! Would absolutely recommend.

Great experience with josue - Josue is a great and knowledgeable tour guide extremely enthusiastic and perfect for his job he doesn’t take it as a job but more very enjoyable experience

Loved this experience! - I traveled with a group of friends to Manuel Antonio, and we spent our day on this ocean kayaking and snorkeling tour. I thought this excursion was by far one of my favorite activities I’ve done in Costa Rica so far thanks to Josué, who kept the trip interesting and comedic with his punch lines. I was impressed by his professionalism and his thoughtfulness. We admire the hard work that Josué puts into giving his clients a good experience—thanks Josué! If you want a more detailed overview of what’s included: you’ll get to travel by kayak to the snorkeling area, observe the ocean life, kayak to the shore to eat pineapple, rinse off at the beach, kayak back, and enjoy lunch with your tour guide. Pura Vida!

Phenomenal experience - Wow was I stunned with this tour! My 3 friends and I had an amazing time with our tour guide Alex. Tour was exactly as described, our guide even threw in a free drink and a ride on another tours boat slide! Alex was funny and kind and made sure to get lots of pictures of us and ensured we enjoyed our tour. After our tour the lunch that was provided was phenomenal at a local restaurant. We loved our tour so much we hung out with our guide even after it was over! He took us up to Playa Manuel Antonio Quepos beach, bought us some beers and showed us the beach there. Would 100% book again, thanks so much Alex, and pura vida!

Enjoyable Experience - My best friend and I really enjoyed this beautiful kayaking tour. It’s rainy season so we didn’t see a ton of things while snorkeling but we did see a school of colorful fish and it was a lot of fun. The stop at the beach was relaxing and our guide cut up delicious fresh pinapple and had cookies and water. It was an overall great experience and would recommend.

A lovely kayaking experience - just a shame about the snorkel equipment. - A really enjoyable morning! Collection from our hotel was prompt, and our friendly guide Alex led us out kayaking across the beautiful bay, during which we saw lots of frigatebirds. He also took us to a beach and gave us cold water and cut pineapple, and later took us to a good local restaurant. The reef area had some lovely fish (triggerfish, angelfish etc.) but was very busy, with around 20 people snorkelling around the one small rock. Our main criticism was the quality of the equipment - the kayaks were fine, but my partner was given a broken mask, whilst my snorkel had a broken mouthpiece, so our enjoyment of the snorkelling experience was affected.

Don’t Book This Tour - We did not do this tour because there was thunder and lightning and the water was incredible choppy and it was unsafe. The tour guide was nice and offered an alternative to “try” to kayak out and if we couldn’t continue because of the weather then we could drive to the snorkeling spot (over an hour drive). I had just driven in from San Jose and didn’t want to spend another 1-2 hours driving this was not the tour I booked. I asked if we could reschedule for another day. He said we’d have to talk to the office. The office never responded to my requests. So the tour operator pocketed $340 and we got nothing. I will not do business with Costa Rica Group Travel Company. I spent another week in Costa Rica and went on 3 tours with different companies that all provided stellar service. Don’t book this tour or with Costa Rica Group Travel Company

Missed the pickup, so I was left behind. - Was unclear about pickup details. Shuttle came to pick me up. No message when driver came. They called my room when I was near the reception area. A message to my phone would have let me know they were there, and I would not have missed them. Paid money, got nothing. Very disappointed.
