Paddle boarding Costa Rica - We had a great paddle board adventure with Alex. We felt safe and had a great time. The mangrove tour was really interesting. We saw lots of wildlife and ate the best pineapple ever!

Fantastic tour - Great tour. Junior was a fantastic guide with lots of knowledge about the river. The mid-way opportunity to jump in the ocean and enjoy some refreshments was a nice added experience. Would definitely recommend.

Super nice activity in Nosara - We took a break from the beach to paddle a little in the mangrove with our guide, Saúl. What a good idea! My aunt (65), daughter (6) and I (42) enjoyed this sweet immersion in nature. We were able to observe several species of birds and learn more about this fascinating ecosystem. I had the chance to travel a lot in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and Brazil and seriously, the ticos are extremely friendly! Do not hesitate to book!:)

Amazing group outing! Highly recommend - We hosted a yoga retreat in December with a group of women and the SUP experience was one of their outings. The group had such an amazing experience with Carlos as their guide. Cannot recommend enough!

Touring the Mangoves - We were lucky enough to get Carlos to pick us up and give us a tour of the mangroves for this excursion. There were 10 women with different levels of experience and he made it comfortable for all. An informative tour down the river & stop at the Beach with great fresh coconut water cut in front of us and info regarding turtles hatching. We were so impressed we can't wait to come back.

Relaxing Kayak among the Mangroves - Jose was a great tour guide. We saw lots of different types of birds and other wildlife. Very accommodating for multiple ability levels with a great break of the beach and fresh coconut water in the middle!

Peaceful kayak with a view - We had such an amazing experience on our 2 hour kayak ride. This tour provided transportation (so much fun for my cousin and I to ride in a tuk tuk) as a part of their tour which was great because we did not have a vehicle for our stay. We kayaked through the mangroves and saw many birds (our guide, Jackson, would point them out or call out to them) and made our way to the beach. There we have a fresh coconut water (cut open there!) and had the option to swim or walk along the beach. Jackson was very engaging, attentive and helpful! I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Nosara area!

Amazing - Our family has done the kayak tour one other time with another company, but this company hounds down was the best. We had so much fun saw some wildlife. It was very peaceful and then took an amazing kayak ride back when the sunset was happening.

A Must Do in Nosara! - My husband and I recently visited Nosara to escape the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. After researching things to do in the area, we decided to book a kayaking tour with EveryDay Nosara—and it was absolutely the right choice! From the very beginning, Carlos was incredibly communicative, answering all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. On the day of our tour, Jocksan and Sasah were our guides, and they were fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area. The tour itself was peaceful and picturesque, providing the perfect opportunity to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Nosara. Even after the tour, Carlos took the time to recommend other must-see spots in the area, which was so thoughtful and helpful. We’re so glad we connected with EveryDay Nosara and highly recommend them to anyone visiting the area!
