Nature Walk and Kayak Tour with Rob - Rob was incredibly knowledgeable about all things nature. He started with a fantastic walkabout near our meeting point before leading us on a fascinating kayak tour.

Great guide - Super kayak tour done with Fransisco! Monkeys, turtles, sloths, toucans, birds scratch spiders and reptiles seen through the keen eye of Fransisco. Without him, all we would have seen were turtles. We felt extremely safe at fransisco while kayaking and during the hike. In addition, he knows all about the nature and animals in punta uva.
In short: huge recommendation.

A fun excursion while learning so much! - My son and I really enjoyed our mini hike and kayak trip! Francisco was so knowledgeable about this region. He deepened our understanding of the history as he pointed out many animals and beautiful plants and trees. We saw sloths, an iguana, howler monkeys, toucans, a lizard, bats, different kinds of crabs, and turtles. It’s fun to reflect on all the things we learned, we both highly recommend!

Culture, fauna and flora and a great sympathetic guide - With an hour delay due to the rain we could still do the tour. Fortunately because with a guide like Francisco it was a super interesting experience! He knows so much about the fauna and flora as well as about the culture. Very relaxed and engaging experience, thank you!

Hike and kayak - The tour operator was very nice, energetic and informative. Bring good hiking shoes with you and a good bag to store your stuff. On the kayaking part of the tour you’ll get your butt wet so be aware of what you wear. Overall, I really appreciated the tour, you get to see sloths, monkeys, turtles, iguanas and even a caiman if you’re lucky! The tour operator will tell you some interesting facts about plants, animals and give you a bit of the history of Puerto Viejo.

Jungle Hike and Kayak - A fun hike in the area around Playa Punta Uva, followed by a kayak trip in the river that leads to the beach. We saw monkeys, sloths, green parrots, and turtles....oh my! The kids (8 and 11) loved it too! Our guide Francisco was a gem. He was very knowledgeable and kind and answered all our questions. Definitely the highlight of our trip to CR!
