Alex was the best guide ever!!! i really liked the tour especially because it was early in the morning and it was very quite. The other tourists came later so we enjoyed the nature all alone. Alex, you‘re the best, thank you!!

A really great tour with a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We saw a lot of different lizards and caymans. One of the highlights was the troop of White-faced Monkeys that came down to the branches right above our kayaks. I highly recommend this tour.

We booked the kayak mangrove tour at the last minute, hoping for the best. Turns out it was one of the greatest activities of our trip. Our tour guide Alex was passionate yet very smooth, which gave this experience a zen feeling. He is very knowledgeable, and easily spots a lot of different species which we would have totally missed by ourselves. The ride itself is super easy, even for first timers. The equipment is in good condition. We recommend bringing binoculars if you want a better chance at seeing details. We saw: turtles, crabs, alligator, boa, sloths, monkeys, iguanas, a few types of birds and some lizards. We encountered other tours on the water (motor boats) and we could tell that it was more about the spectacle. It was louder (boat and guides) and they fed the animals to lure them closer which is forbidden. Overall, the experience with Alex felt more in tune with nature, which is why we chose Costa Rica.

We had an absolute blast with Jeisson as our guide. He took his time and answered all of our questions. He showed us iguanas, jumping spiders, sloth,turtles, snake, caiman and the “Jesus lizard“ that walked on water.But the 15 minutes we spent with a dozen monkeys was the best.Front row seats that you would only get with Jeisson in a kayak. Mangrove Kayak tour and Jeisson were very organized and professional. We would recommend them to our friends.

Very nice place for a mangrove tour! We did the kayak tour, and it was great! We saw lots of wildlife and our guide was great at spotting them. We saw a sloth, cayman, snake, and lots of lizards and monkeys! The paddling wasn't too difficult, and it was very peaceful.

Leuke tour, Alex was een goeie guide en wist veel te vertellen over alle flora en fauna die we hebben gezien. We hadden ook nog het geluk dat we de enige waren, dus het werd een private tour. Veel leuke dieren, lekker kalm in de ochtend in de kayak. Het fruit achteraf is echt heerlijk!!🍍🍍

Ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis. Der Guide war echt lustig und hat einem genau erklärt, was es für Besonderheiten bei den Tieren gibt, die man auf der Tour entdeckt. Außerdem hat der Guide wirklich gute Augen und hat immer interessante Tiere gefunden, die man sonst übersehen würde. Ich kann die Tour nur jedem weiterempfehlen, der auch mal in der Natur etwas erleben möchte.

Really excellent tour!! One of the highlights of our trip!! Our guide Pablo was super knowledgeable, English speaking and interesting to talk to. We saw monkeys, silk anteaters and various bird species during the ride. Tour started in guides house where his wife served a delicious lunch. During tour we stopped at an island (boat driver lived there), got to see island life and were given fresh coconuts to drink from. Boat provided perfect breeze on hot day. All in all highly recommend.

Amazing We did the mangrove tour and it honestly exceeded our expectations. The duration is just right, giving you plenty of time to explore the canals at a relaxed pace, enjoy the scenery, and really take in the wildlife without feeling rushed. Everything was very well organized and professional from the start. They were punctual, clear with instructions, and the overall quality of the service was excellent. What truly made the experience stand out were the guides. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. On top of that, their knowledge of the mangrove ecosystem was impressive, and they explained everything in an engaging and easy to understand way. Thanks to their experience and sharp eyes, we were able to spot monkeys, several species of birds, and even crocodiles that we definitely would have missed on our own. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and that passion really shows throughout the entire experience. Highly recommended. It is absolutely worth it.

Relaxing silence in the Mangroves At 8 am is the perfect time for kayaking. Just three of us plus a wonderful brand new guide who really knew his stuff. Alex was very knowledgeable about all the animal and plant species that we saw (herons, tanagers, woodcreepers, lizards, bats, walking palms, etc.) Other groups—including motorized boats—passed by, but much of the time we were the only humans within earshot. We took our time and were on the water more than the two hours advertised. Alex was great at helping us in & out of the kayaks. The kayaks were stable and we didn’t get wet to any great extent. The reception/dockside area has good facilities (snack area, washrooms) and a couple of lovely little nooks for relaxing afterwards or as you wait. After the paddle, Alex served delicious pineapple and watermelon—impressed by his carving skills. We know that Alex learned to always have a back-up laser or batteries on hand.

This has been one of the best experiences of my life We did the mangrove kayak tour in the morning and it was an amazing experience. The pace was relaxed and perfect to really enjoy the surroundings. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained the mangrove ecosystem, wildlife and biodiversity in a very clear and engaging way. We saw monkeys, birds and other wildlife, and the tour never felt rushed. You can tell the team really respects nature and cares about giving a quality experience. If you’re looking for a peaceful but informative adventure in Manuel Antonio, this is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

Gran viaje en kayak y snorkel con Mario Tuvimos un viaje muy agradable en kayak y snorkel con Mario. Era un gran guía y conocedor de la vida silvestre, el medio ambiente y la costa local. El kayak hacia el lugar de snorkel era muy tranquilo, con olas tranquilas rodando y mucha vida de aves en los acantilados cercanos. Había muchos peces diferentes para ser vistos durante el snorkel y se sentía como un lugar muy seguro. Los refrescos proporcionados en la playa fueron muy apreciados después del snorkel y antes del viaje de regreso en kayak. Con todo, una gran experiencia

La familia de monos, a pesar de haber visto muchos animales a mi gusto personal fueron los monos Una experiencia realmente hermosa y tranquila. El tour en kayak fue muy relajante, rodeado de naturaleza y paisajes impresionantes. Durante el recorrido aprendimos mucho sobre la flora y fauna del área, y tuvimos la oportunidad de observar aves, reptiles y otros animales en su hábitat natural.Todo el tour se realizó con mucho respeto por la vida silvestre, sin intervenir ni alterar el entorno, lo cual se agradece muchísimo. El ritmo fue cómodo y adecuado para todo el grupo, permitiendo disfrutar cada momento sin prisas.Sin duda es una actividad que recomiendo para quienes buscan una experiencia auténtica, educativa y en contacto directo con la naturaleza. Un tour bien organizado y verdaderamente enfocado en la conservación.

Gran aventura Familia con dos niñas de 10 y 12 años. Hicimos el tour en kayak y fue increíble. Memo fue nuestro guía y él era divertido, muy bien informado, enérgico, pero lo más importante se preocupa profundamente por la naturaleza y los animales. El tour fue mucho más de lo que esperábamos y la zona donde se encuentra Nacarcosta era hermosa. Vimos tantos animales y el tour en kayak fue muy tranquilo y relajante. No te decepcionará si reservas este tour.

¡Experiencia de cinco estrellas! Si estás tratando de pesar entre operadores turísticos, este es el que has estado buscando. Nuestro guía, Jayson, nos proporcionó un conocimiento profundo sobre los manglares, su historia y su propia relación con la tierra. Esto no es una a su derecha verá este o aquel tipo de tour. Los manglares son un cuerpo vivo en constante movimiento. Se necesita un ojo educado para detectar una Boa Amarilla del Norte en una extremidad que se extiende sobre el agua. Me aterrorizan las serpientes y me sentí a gusto mientras nos guiaba por el camino del agua. El conocimiento de Jayson de la flora y fauna es impresionante. Su dominio del Inglés es fuerte. Como estudiantes de idiomas extranjeros de toda la vida, nos encantó la capacidad de aprender un vocabulario completamente nuevo mientras intercambiamos preguntas gramaticales mientras remamos entre la respiración y el entorno. El agua es tranquila, plana y no muy profunda. Vimos de 16 a 18 (perdimos la cuenta) especies diferentes en nuestro viaje de dos horas. No había prisa y no había presión para seguir moviéndonos mientras fotografiábamos a nuestro gusto. Cuando llegamos de vuelta a las instalaciones inmaculadas, nos dieron un capricho con una piña cultivada justo en la finca contigua. La piña era mejor que cualquier piña hawaiana que he comido. Por último. Este es un operador que se niega a llamar a los monos para que bajen y se alimenten desde un barco. Esto no es una práctica aceptable en Costa Rica y simplemente se hace para generar propinas más grandes. Por favor, no contribuya al problema.
