Amazing snorkeling with a beautiful snack - We booked this trip the day before as an alternative after we couldn’t get into Manuel Antonio National Park. What a lovely surprise it was to discover that there were only the two of us booked—so we ended up having the whole trip as a private experience! Mario took excellent care of us. He was friendly, cheerful, and handled everything we needed. We went on a double kayak, starting from the marina and continuing along the coastline and beaches. Along the way, we saw several species of birds, and Mario shared interesting facts about them. We paddled all the way to Biesanz Beach, where we stopped for about half an hour to snorkel. It was the most beautiful snorkeling experience we’ve ever had! As soon as we went into the water, countless fish were swimming incredibly close to us. Afterwards, we reached the beach, where Mario prepared a delicious and refreshing snack for us—included in the price! While we were swimming, it felt absolutely magical. The sea water was crystal clear and wonderfully warm. The way back went by very quickly, as we talked a lot with Mario about life in Costa Rica and compared it with our home country—it was truly interesting. Mario was amazing, always smiling, and we enjoyed the whole experience so much largely thanks to him. We highly recommend this trip!

Great small group activity in Quepos - Great tour that included stunning scenery, some bird sightings, some snorkeling, and a stop at a local beach. Our guide Brian was great. Appreciated that we were a smaller group.

Sublime! - Mario was great and very informative. He took us on a delightful kayak route along the shoreline and gave us a delicious snack at a very picturesque snorkelling spot! The kayaking was very good, interspersed with bird watching and local knowledge about the area. Coming back at sunset was a delight. We felt safe at all times and were provided with dry bags for our gear. Well planned trip - simple and effective; it was a well spent 3 1/2 hours and we would highly recommend particularly if you like kayaking.

Great Kayaking/snorkeling Trip - Had a great trip with Mario! We had great weather and the snorkeling exceeded our expectations. Had a great snack on the beach before our return paddle. I don't know how the kayaking trip could have been better!

Fun and beautiful adventure! - Our kayak tour with Mario was fantastic! He was very kind and shared history and stories of the town and beaches we passed. We saw several wildlife, which was a plus! We are experienced kayakers but if this was our first time, we will feel that we are in good hands. The ocean was very warm and the lunch was a nice treat. We would absolutely book a tour with Mario vs booking with a larger tour company. Our experience felt personable and local. Thanks Mario for the great experience and showing us the beauty of your country, from the ocean!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - Mario was amazing! He knew so much and was so helpful as we learned how to get in and out of the Kayak. He brought us to an awesome spot to see fish under water and then to a beautiful beach where he provided snacks and helped us see a sloth! He was so fun to hangout and just chat with. I recommend this experience 100%. Especially because of how awesome Mario was. Theres nothing better than doing something brand new with someone so cool! He was patient and informative!
