Mangrove Kayak Tour - Great guided tour of the mangroves. Our guide started us walking through the Nacarcosta property, seeing animals and talking about the importance of the living in harmony with the land and nature. The kayak tour of abut 2 hours was filled with insightful moments, pointing out animals we saw along the way, including sloths, monkeys, and birds. The equipment was excellent and the tour was a good value for the money.

Serene Tour - My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time! It was such a relaxing time taking the kayaks out early in the morning. It was a small group, which made it much more intimate. We received a tour of the farm, and got a lovely lunch afterwards. We would like to thank Maria for making our Costa Rica trip great. Pura Vida!

Early afternoon in the Mangroves - My family and I enjoyed our tour of the mangroves. Our guide Maria provided lots of information on the wildlife we saw and told us about the importance of the mangroves. The Capuchin monkeys were fun to watch. We also saw a turtle, Basilisk lizards, and several iguanas.

Poor value for money - The negative: The announced 2-hour ride only lasts an hour and a half It’s an AR (and on the way back the guide is really in a hurry) The first one understands the explanations well but not necessarily the last one The advertised price is excluding tax, i.e. to be increased by 20% The positive: the setting is pretty

Disappointing Trip - Skip - The kayaking trip was not as advertised. We were kayaking only 1.5 hours. It was on a canal that was full of boats. Not through mangroves with animals and birds. We were not offered the food that was advertised. Also, other people paid cash and it was significantly less money than we paid for the same experience. I would avoid these tours at all costs.
