- We did a night kayaking tour through the mangroves and we had an incredible time! We saw lots of animals and learned a lot about the mangoes. Our guide Mega was so knowledgeable and fun and helpful. Highly recommend.

Do this mangrove kayaking tour! - The tour was great! Mega and Alex were the best. They took time to inform us of the flora and fauna as we came across it. They clearly care about the environment and protecting it. We saw an anteater (Alex got out of his kayak to take a closer photo without disturbing it), a boa, monkeys, raccoon, some birds, iguanas, JC lizards and various species of the mangroves. It was a beautiful day. Then they provided a delicious breakfast! Couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

Mangrove kayaking is peaceful - Kayaking in the mangroves is a peaceful experience to learn about the wildlife from our guide Mega. I was hoping for an early morning paddle but it is dependent upon the tides. Our tour began midday just before the afternoon rains. Mega is some history of the mangroves. We were able to see a family of Capuchin monkeys and a curled up anteater in the distant trees. The meal provided after the tour was satisfying and delicious.

Great Experience - I took the kayak Tour with Iguana Tours during my visit to Costa Rica in March 2025. It was my first tour with this company and one of the best of all of the companies I toured with throughout my stay. The guides were very informative about the environment prior to even arriving at the site of the tour. It was a total experience. The Guides were also personable and friendly leading to open dialogue. I have never kayaked before so the guide offered to share a kayak with me, as he did all of the rowing. I was happy to take this offer as it freed my hands to take pics of all of the beautiful wildlife along the way. I never knew how much I was into birds until taking this trip. We saw many exotic birds and listened to the nature calls between. It was quite fascinating. The tour guide was knowledgeable about everything we saw and experienced. Afterwards, we had an amazing lunch! This was an overall great experience from start to end! I would definitely recommend!!

Amazing Tour! Definitely recommend! - This tour was amazing! Our tour guide, Marlon was so very friendly and informative. On the ride getting to our kayakers he shared some history about the area and Costa Rica. He also shared his wealth of knowledge of the mangrove, different animals and again the history. We had an amazing traditional Costa Rican lunch and they accommodate my dietary preferencel (I am vegan) which I appreciate so much. I would definitely recommend this company and Marlon. Best tour guide! Mucho gracias! Pura Vido!

Beautiful kayaking experience - Such a wonderful experience! Kayaking in the mangroves was serene and beautiful. Our guide, Mega, was funny and very knowledgeable.

Iguana Tours - Mangroves Kayak Tour - We had a great time on our kayak tour and would highly recommend it. We did tours w/Iguana Tours three days in a row and they were great every day. Marlon (aka Mega) was our kayak guide, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and paced the trip well. He went out of his way to try to find wildlife for us to see. We did get rained on but still enjoyed the experience. After the tour, we had an authentic and delicious Costa Rican lunch, thanks to Ronny the cook!! Shout out to William (the boat guide) and Randolph (the driver), all were great!
