Wonderful, 1+ with asterisk - Our booking was postponed to afternoon (13:30) due to rain. There were three of us on the tour. Our guide Yari was super friendly and explained everything very well. She also speaks very good English. Directly after start she was able to show us a sloth, as well as a young animal right after. After about 1.5h we went to the kayaks and we still had an extensive tour there. There were turtles, lizards, crabs and various kinds of monkeys to see. At the end of the tour we got another coconut to drink 5/5, would do it again anytime

Relaxing day Kayaking - Spent our first day kayaking and looking for wildlife. Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable and he took his time and we saw many different animals. Several sloths, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, a toucan and some creepy big spiders and more! The hike was beautiful with a fabulous overlook of the Caribbean and Punta UVA.

Amazing tour and amazing guide! Pura vida! - This was a very interesting and beautiful tour! It includes a 1.5 hour walk up the mountain and a 1.5 hour kayak tour down the river. Our guide Francisco was fantastic, he was very kind and like a walking encyclopedia. He did a great job of spotting animals and teaching us about them. We got to see a two toed sloth, a three toed slow, white faced monkeys, blue morphos, tiger heron, river turtles, tree cutter ants and more. Francisco also taught us so much about the plants around us, including their history within the area and how they relate to the environment and animals. We also got to learn about the history of Punta Uva and a lot of interesting history about the indigenous groups of Costa Rica. The hike is very easy and there are only a few steep spots, at which Francisco was sure to help us. The kayaking is also very easy and relaxing. At the end, we received a fresh pipa. Thank you for your knowledge and kindness Francisco. Fue un placer!
