    What an amazing...

    Trang_L, Jun 2025
    What an amazing experience! We are a family of four. Two adults, a 13 year old, and 15 year old. The day started with a pickup at our Airbnb by one of our guides, Ariel. He was very friendly and had a lot to share about Costa Rica and mangroves. At the docking area we were placed in a double kayak. The kayak was so easy to use despite occasionally getting stuck amongst some mangroves. But that just made the morning more interesting! We had Ariel at the front and our other guide, Mike, in the back to ensure we were safe and having fun. It was a nice leisurely ride through the water. I’m not the most athletic person but I was able to handle the kayak well enough. Throughout the ride Ariel would give more information about Costa Rica and the environment. He was always engaging and would include the kids in his conversation. Him and Mike were so encouraging, especially when we would get stuck! They always cheered us on. Halfway through we were given bottled water. At the end of the trip, before getting back in the van, we enjoyed some of the sweetest pineapple I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend this excursion!

    The tour was great and the guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We say a troop of monkeys right at the start of our tour--there were baby monkeys too!
