Ocean kayak ride

Shantell_J, Sep 2024

This was our least favorite tour we did of our trip. We went quite a distance to the snorkeling spot and then back to the launch spot. If you are looking for a relaxing kayak ride this is not it. The current is strong and it takes more work than I am used to when kayaking to get movement. We were not provided lunch as promised but when I reached out the company was great to work with and refunded us the amount for lunch. Our tour operator was good. He provided insight on the way to the snorkel spot but didn’t interact with us much on the way back. Thankfully we brought our own waters. The tour said they would provide drinks and snacks. We were thinking that we would snorkel to a beach or something have our snack and snorkel and come back. We tied up in the ocean and then swam to the snorkeling spot. A couple of us were not feeling well on the way back. You don’t realize how rough the ocean is. When we got back we had the fresh fruit and water that was promised. It wasn’t horrible but for the money I would much rather do something else.

Our guide was very nice...

Our guide was very nice and friendly but we had a very hard time understanding his English so it made the trip a little less enjoyable.

Coastline and beach adventure

Antonio was a terrific guide. Offered some interesting facts, found monkeys and a sloth on our stop at the beach and took his time on the tour. Highly recommend!

Perfect Sunset Kayak Trip

Emily_C, Jan 2023

We loved our kayaking trip with Javier! He took us to several beaches and pointed out lots of wildlife and natural features. Would highly recommend the sunset tour. We had such a great view! 100% would recommend this tour!

A great kayak trip in Quepos

Ron_R, Jun 2022

Dante picked us up on time and delivered us to the launch site. We met our guide, Oscar, and he got us into the kayaks and out into the bay. We had a great time paddling around and stopped at a beach for a little rest and photos. it was very windy and choppy and we suggested that we return to the base. Oscar was great. He would have stayed out with us as long as we wanted.

Book this NOW!

Taylor_B, Feb 2022

Oscar is the MAN! Truly so helpful and kind. We had a great time kayaking to cow island and saw crabs, birds and a turtle. He was very knowledgeable and you could tell he loves his work. Would definitely book this again on our next trip! PURA VIDA ❤️

Scheduling confusion and shortened excursion

Stephanie_B, Aug 2021

This experience was a bit disappointing. To start, our confirmed day/time for pickup passed without our shuttle showing up. I called the office to see if they were running late only to be told they thought our tour was scheduled for the next day. Long story short, they were very apologetic and said they would arrange to pick up us two hours later. We were also told that we would receive some 'extras' to make up for the confusion. Once we arrived at the meeting spot, we still had to wait for them to get the kayaks ready, etc. I was also a bit surprised that they didn't offer dry bags for us like every other kayak tour I've done. The excursion itself was only okay. It was much shorter than the advertised three hours so we didn't receive what was planned much less any extras.

Good tour friendly guide

Amie_S, May 2021

Amazing views on entire trip. Weather was perfect, but because of recent rain snorkeling had limited visibility. Friendly guide who pulled back one of our kayaks empty as one person got sea sick and left from beach. Kayaking back took some muscles🌟

Emocionante

Super recomendado, una actividad que te permite pasarla bien observando la naturaleza, el mar, tuvimos la oportunidad de observar una tortuga marina. Lo volveríamos a repetir
