I had a great experience... - I had a great experience with our guide, Jungle! This was my groups first time kayaking and it was enjoyable even with all of the bloopers. I would say we are now somewhat pros at this and ready to conquer it again. Jungle is knowledgeable and we had a great time seeing the animals and leaning about the area.

Very relaxing and informative! We saw a lot of really cool wildlife. - The tour was very pleasant and relaxing, out guide, Daniel, was very friendly and knowledgeable. My companion is from Costa Rica, and she said she learned things she didn’t know before. I’m learning Spanish still, so I opted for the Spanish tour for more immersion. Daniel was great with explaining some things in English as needed. (He’s fluent in English). The clear kayak was cool, didn’t help us see anything underwater, but it did make me feel more connected with the environment.

Super nice experience!! Highly recommended!! - What fun this was, would definitely recommend it if you want to do it somewhere in Costa rica then I would do it here. We had booked a private tour and our guide was so enthusiastic and we also floated around longer than he was supposed to. He knew how to spot the animals and tell us all about them.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Saw lots of wildlife! 10/10 recommend - This was a delightful experience! Our guide Esteban was so wonderful. His English was very good & he knew so much about the wildlife, history, and plants in the area. We took our time going down the river and therefore saw much more wildlife then some of the other (larger) groups. He also took photos of us and sent them to me afterwords! I wish we could have taken the kayaks into the ocean but because it is November, it was too rough. Instead he took us on a short hike around Punta Uva, which was beautiful. We also got coconuts at the end of our time there! So lovely! Thank you Stephan! I would 1000% do it again :)

River canoeing trip - Steven our guide was quietly spoken so with a small group, at 9am before the river got busy, this was a lovely tranquil experience. Saw plenty turtles, lizards, iguanas, spider Monkeys and bats. The clear bottom canoe is a bit misleading though as the river is too brackish to see anything. I have already recommended this trip to others.

He doesn't have any... - There is no relevance that the kayak is transparent since the river has sediment (you can not see the bottom). I was the only one who spoke in Spanish, and I translated the guide but I still missed things because of that. Otherwise, the experience was super cool, you see the animals very close, we saw bats, turtles, sloths, monkeys meters away!
