This was an amazing... - This was an amazing experience. I’d never been in a kayak before but the water is calm and after about 10 minutes I was able to understand how to control my direction and speed from forward to backward paddling to turn and move forward etc. the mangroves are amazing and we saw a lot of wildlife; sloths in the trees, racoons and basilisks and other lizards on the banks, to different birds perched in trees and various foliage. The guide was very nice and informative. Would recommend.

Lovely experience off the beaten path - Wonderful trip! We had a flat tire and they quickly responded and allowed us to rebook a different time. We were so glad. It to miss it - highlight of our trip to Manuel Antonio! Wonderful local guide with a beautiful location. Easy to navigate - even with no previous experience.

Beautiful, peaceful and educational - We had a great experience. Our guide was trained in eco tourism and knew a lot about the local flora and fauna and spotted many things we would not have seen on our own. We saw monkeys, lots of iguanas, and birds, lizards, raccoons. We didn’t see any Cayman or crocodiles, which was ok! Two hours was the perfect amount of time. Highly recommend!

Great tour! - Super great tour. It's not too exhausting and you learn a lot about the mangroves. I think 2hs are more than enough in the mangroves, so opt for this tour rather than the 4h boat mangrove tour, unless you're a mangrove-maniac. I don't understand why both tours are the same price though, given that the kayak your is half the length.

A not to be missed Costa Rica activity! - This was up there with the best activity we did whilst in Costa Rica. The setting is just something completely out of this world, the river was full of life, the guide was educational sharing facts with us and we had an amazing time. We 10/10 recommend this tour!

Best activity ever, highly recommend. - The tour exceeded all expectations. It was peaceful and beautiful and we saw every kind of animal you would want to see in Costa Rica: sloths, monkeys, iguanas, snakes, bats, so many amazing birds, and even a crocodile. Our guide was excellent at pointing out things for us to see and was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. Truly it couldn’t have been better.

Pretty well organized but... - Pretty well organized but they had no swimming vests for kids (although I notified them about children participating). The guy spent most of time with other clients prioritizing them on a trip. There is some paddling from a start to mangrove forest, which is against tide when coming back (15 minutes)

Conscientious Tour Operator - Jason was an excellent and conscientious guide. While other operators feed the animals to attract them for the tourists Jason didn't. We still saw plenty and enjoyed this short tour around the mangroves.

It was a great experience... - It was a good experience to be in the mangrove forest on a kayak but the company changed the time and location and the guide didn’t seem overly enthusiastic or knowledgeable. There were also quite a few large motorized boats. We don’t regret the experience but don’t have huge expectations.
