      Wonderful guide! We felt Lynch cared about Costa Rica and is very knowledgeable of the area. We saw so much wild life and it was an experience to do! The shaded river was relaxing and just what we needed! Lynch is a great guide and recommend this to ALL

      I had a great experience with our guide, Jungle! This was my groups first time kayaking and it was enjoyable even with all of the bloopers. I would say we are now somewhat pros at this and ready to conquer it again. Jungle is knowledgeable and we had a great time seeing the animals and leaning about the area.

      River canoeing trip

      Steven our guide was quietly spoken so with a small group, at 9am before the river got busy, this was a lovely tranquil experience. Saw plenty turtles, lizards, iguanas, spider Monkeys and bats. The clear bottom canoe is a bit misleading though as the river is too brackish to see anything. I have already recommended this trip to others.

      We loved this “kayak safari” from the River! Esteban was a great guide & very knowledgeable! We saw a very active sloth in the tree, monkeys, frog, turtles & the Jesus Christ lizard, which was amazing! We were not able to go on the ocean due to conditions. I would do this tour again!

      Rob was a great guide. Tons of wildlife! Great history lesson! Makes you appreciate the jungle! Monkeys!

      Enlightening and informative

      Kyle_B, Jan 2024
      This experience was worth the trip! Amazing conversation with our tour guide who was very knowledgeable and informative. She knew a lot about the fauna and flora which made the trip through the jungle, very enlightening. I highly recommend this tour 👍🏾👍🏾

      Great relaxing outdoor experience

      Carmen_R, Jan 2024
      We had the nicest time. Lynch, our guide, is incredibly kind, pleasant and patient. It was so much fun and a real highlight for our time spent on the Caribbean side.

      Amazing experience!

      Iina_L, Nov 2023
      Such an amazing experience! We saw multiple sloths and turtles along the way. The tide was too high to do kayaking in the ocean so we only did it in the river. Our guide Yari was able to tell us a lot about the animals and the Costa Rican culture in the Caribean side of the country.

      Nice, easy paddle. Tour guide didn’t rush us, spotted & pointed out wildlife. Would do again, recommended.

      Great very relaxing and beautiful trip down the river. Bonus we got to see lots of sloths. Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable!

      He doesn't have any...

      Javiera_C, Oct 2025
      There is no relevance that the kayak is transparent since the river has sediment (you can not see the bottom). I was the only one who spoke in Spanish, and I translated the guide but I still missed things because of that. Otherwise, the experience was super cool, you see the animals very close, we saw bats, turtles, sloths, monkeys meters away!
