Fantastic tour! - The tour guide did an outstanding job. I was the only person signed up at this time, so essentially I got a private tour. He was so friendly, knowledgable, and really went above and beyond to make sure I got my money's worth. He even took me on a little hike afterwards to see more wildlife, great views on the water, and learn more about some of the local plant's and culture. I saw more sloth on this one tour than I did the rest of the week in Costa Rica! Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! - Such an amazing experience! We saw multiple sloths and turtles along the way. The tide was too high to do kayaking in the ocean so we only did it in the river. Our guide Yari was able to tell us a lot about the animals and the Costa Rican culture in the Caribean side of the country.

Epic adventure with a passionate guide and lots to see! - Lynch was an awesome host for this experience! It seemed like we were kayaking with a close friend. We got to see so many sloths and so much wildlife! Crabs, turtles, monkeys, and all kinds of birds. He was very knowledgeable and respectful. Explained everything and filled the tour with a lot of facts as we cruised down the river. So many photo opportunities of the wildlife! We highly recommend booking this experience if you're a beginner or a pro because he has a great eye at spotting things and has great knowledge of the history of the place you're visiting.

A must adventure at Punta Uva! - Lynch was an amazing guide! Not only did he show us many animals and sights, he tells great stories about the region and draws you into his perspective on so many things! Highlight of the trip was seeing 3 species of monkey on one trip. And watching some spider monkeys try to hold their ground against advancing capuchin monkeys! They put on a real show for us!

Alex was a great guide! - When I arrived I was immediately greeted and Alex, my guide provided a safe place for my belongings and had a dry bag for my phone so I could take pictures. We left a few minutes early which was nice. The views and water were very beautiful when we headed out in the ocean to see the reef. When we went to the river Alex was on the look out for monkeys, sloths, turtles and birds. He educated me on the wildlife and I had a great experience! Highly recommend, great experience and workout!

Great Kayak Tour! - Our guide, Esteban, was excellent. His knowledge of Costa Rican history and wildlife was top notch. If you're listening, you leave with knowledge you never had before. Even after the kayak part of the tour is over, you have an option to do a small hike and learn more.

Beautiful river - We enjoyed the scenic river, but some things were not great. The trip started out into the sea, which was pretty rough at the time. I guess on a calm day, you would be able to see a reef, but certainly not that day. Our guide, Estoban, did not lead, but followed during that part, and since we didn’t know where to go, it was a bit unnerving. The Uva River, though, was lovely, and we loved listening to the different forest sounds. All in all a nice time.
