    Really enjoyed this experience. The SUP part is short and this is more of a waterfall adventure tour. Our guides were SUPERB…Reece, Mambo, and Rasta!! We felt safe and they were friendly and thoughtful. Highly recommended this tour!!

    What an absolute VIBE!!

    What an amazing day!! I was a little nervous as a solo female traveller and have never paddle-boarded before, but from the moment I got picked up from my hotel I was made to feel at ease. Roberto (Rasta) was friendly, kind and really encouraging throughout the session on the board, took some great shots for me on my phone and saw some cool birds. Then came the waterfalls - another amazing experience. Joined by the other guides, DK & Alonso we saw 3 beautiful waterfalls and jumped into the pools. Again, I was a little nervous as it’s a bit out of my comfort zone but with the guides support and such positive vibes in the group, I was throwing myself into the water and heading down the waterfall slide - what a buzz!! Felt totally safe and supported throughout all the activities and the guides themselves are v impressive with their jumps and all the knowledge they shared! Food and Playa Ventana also great!! Favourite day in Manuel Antonio!! Thanks so much!! Pura Vida!

    You should do this tour!

    What a great adventure! This ended up bring a solo private tour. My guide was Ismael. He took me paddle boarding, waterfalls, took pictures while i was in action, to lunch and the beach. Every stop was awesome. He also filled me in on history of the area. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you Ismael for everything!

    Fun day!

    It felt like a day at summer camp! Local guides take you to hidden places that are amazing! They are a wealth of knowledge and have great energy. Our family had a fabulous and very full day of adventure + the best lunch! We loved our guides Alejandro and Roberto.
