Pura Vida❤️ - Absolutely recommend this tour! We took the morning Mangrove boat tour with Alex and had the best time. He is an absolute gem. Along with teaching about the biodiversity and animals of Costa Rica, he shared beautiful life lessons that will stay with us well beyond our trip. We decided to pack our camera away so while we don’t have photos to share, through the mangroves was such a special experience. From beginning to end, this was a magical experience. 12/10 would recommend!

Excellent mangrove and educational tour - We did the tour of Manuel Antonio National Park and also this boat mangrove tour to see animals and we were fascinated by the experience of having the animals so close was unique and very educational guide Alex knows how to call the animals to reach the boat.... we saw monkeys, snakes, many birds, gauntlet, crabs and a beautiful sloth the iguanas can be seen at close range we saw the 2 species and the basilisks that walk on the water itself was a very complete tour and at the meeting site there is free parking that was very helpful.

Fantastic tour! - Felipe was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw many different animals, including monkeys, iguanas, owls, birds and boa constrictors (from a safe distance!) His bird calls were impressive. Most exciting was a stop to see a family of white-faced capuchin monkeys, who Felipe invited onboard to interact with the other guests. Don’t miss this boat tour through the mangrove!

Perfect Mangrove boat tour and many animals to see - This boat tour was great! The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to point out various animals that we would have missed such us lizards,white face monkey,a sloth many birds,bats and we got very close an ant eater. He enticed a monkey to get on board and jump on our shoulders, if we wanted. That was fun! I felt safe and felt like it was a pretty unique and fun way to see Costa Rica wildlife and scenery. Thank you!

Incredible experience on the mangrove boat tour - We were extremely fortunate to take this boat tour through the mangroves of the island ladies, our guide Leandro and the capital Walter have behaved wonderfully the experience has allowed us to learn a lot about the animals and the wonderful ecosystem of the mangrove and of course take some excellent photos....the guide Leandro is very knowledgeable, friendly and an eagle eye to see the animals we have seen snakes, capuchin monkeys, many species of birds, iguanas, crabs and I had the fortune to see a sloth very close just arriving at the place.The coordinate Steve has behaved wonderfully I wait for us when leaving the tour to give us transportation service and took us to give a tour of the city of Quepos and take photos of the macaws which was something incredible for us as my children longed to see them and finally has taken us to dinner at a very well known restaurant in the Manuel Antonio area, Thank you Steve for that great effort in giving us a wonderful experience.
