pura vida up in the mangrove
Amazing setting, lovely kayaking experience, and a great tour guide to bring you through it! Michael brought humor and detailed knowledge about the flora and fauna of the mangrove. Chill vibes and great scenery will make this tour one of the highlights of our trip!

Ocean King Catamaran
The tour was well planned. They explain rules and itinerary as soon as you board. You can enjoy your boat ride as they bring you your drinks. There was an opportunity to dance, snorkel, swim and bask in the sun. Lunch was provided, but inform them if you have any food allergies to make accommodations. Overall great tour!

Great Rafting
The rapids were great and accurately described as II and IIi. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of birds we saw on the river, including various kingfishers and a woodpecker. Kenneth, our raft guide, made sure our family felt safe, and we enjoyed his stories about the area.

Fun times
Great trip, very experienced guide as far as knowledge of horses. The horses were well trained and it was safe. Note that the instructions provided said to wear shorts. Really they should say bring shorts if you want to swim, but wear long pants. Nice lunch after.

Nice night tour with a great guide and overall organization. We’ve seen a number of animals - many frogs, lizards, birds, insects etc. The dinner is simple and good, obviously not a main attraction but timely as we were hungry by the end of the tour. I would recommend if you are into amphibians and reptiles and ready to look for them

Amazing Experience
Would highly recommend this kayak experience, we kayaked all the way to one of the beaches with a snorkeling opportunity on route. There is a opportunity to see some local wildlife on the beach. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly. The tour includes a small lunch (pineapple, crisps and drinks) at the stop on the beach. Really fun experience would recommend.

I've done several zipline tours in different countries and this one is rated right near the top. The lines are fun, really high up and amid lush and dense jungle and the staff are excellent. We had a blast. Also if you go during busy season and Manuel Antonio is sold out, this is a great alternative in the same area (not in actual park and therefore requiring park tickets).

Our guide Alex was very informative and really took the time to make sure we all had an enjoyable experience kayaking in the Mangrove. He spoke very clear English, which was helpful because I only speak a little Spanish. Alex is a great guide and enjoys his job. We got to see several animals on our trip, it was so much fun!

Ride the Buffalo!
Well organized and entertaining. Ride the Buffalo, that is important!
Memo was our guide and he is very well versed in the wildlife and the overall environment you are operating in. Great family excursion. We saw white faced monkeys, lizards, birds, Cayman, etc. Definitely try this one out.

Relaxing kayak trip
It was a calm trip through a beautiful mangrove forest. Our guide was relatively new, but informative and enthusiastic. We did not see a lot of wildlife on our trip. However, we did learn quite a bit about the mangrove environment from our guide.
A few logistical notes:
> The tour indicated they would provide bottle water, but they did not on this trip. My wife and I were fine as we had brought our own, but others on our trip didn't have water during the kayaking.
> It went longer than planned. I think the end time was quoted as 4:30pm, but after a meal at the end of the trip (which we skipped), the end had to be more like 6:00pm. The tour operator was able to run us back to our hotel while others in the group had the meal, which we appreciated. Again, the timing was not an issue for us as we were flexible on time that day, and had other meal plans.
> Communication from the tour operator was good. The actual time of the tour depends on high tide, so our time changed from 10:00am originally posted to 1:00pm. The operator let us know the time change very soon after the booking. Pick up at our hotel was as communicated in advance.
Overall, an enjoyable kayaking tour with an informative guide.

Great snorkeling, delicious food and beautiful sunset
Highly recommend this excursion! The views were amazing, and we even got to see whales! It was a great balance of sightseeing, snorkeling, swimming, dinner/drinks and sunset. The fresh fish dinner was delicious as were the many drinks they serve on board. Only complaint is we wish it was more than just 3-4 hours!

Wonderful day on the water!
Everything about this trip was fantastic. The staff were all professional, warm, and amazing hosts. There were great drinks, delicious food, fun music, and beautiful scenery. We even saw a Humpback whale and her baby even though it was out of season! Allan in particular was fantastic!
