Excellent morning adventure! - Had a great time and got some good exercise paddling in the Mangroves with Pablo. Early morning was great before it got hot. We hung out with a family of howler monkeys for several minutes. They came close in the branches overhead as we approached and we looked at each other for a while. Thanks Pablo.

Fun and informative tour - Pablo was a great tour guide….always looking for wildlife to point out to us. We saw lots of birds, some monkeys resting in a tree and even a small crocodile. We enjoyed a good paddle and then a small hike through a wooded area. It was very informative and enjoyable.

Great guided kayak tour of a Costa Rican national park - Our guide was friendly, laid back, and knowledgeable of the area. Saw some incredible wildlife and got a good workout touring the national park. Had an opportunity to get out and walk through the jungle looking for monkeys (though they were not around, we spotted the Guardabarranco: colorful national bird of neighboring Nicaragua). If you like kayaking and don’t fear the possibility of a crocodile or two, highly recommended. Great way to immerse yourself and connect with the Costa Rican wildlife!

My son and I really... - My son and I really enjoyed the Marine Park Kayak Tour. Pablo was a terrific guide, and it was fun kayaking through the park’s waterways and seeing its wildlife. Lots of sea birds, crabs, a raccoon, and a family of howler monkeys. A great way to spend an afternoon!

Pablo is the best! - We really enjoyed our trip through the mangroves with Pablo. We are both in our 70s and don’t go as quickly as we used to but Pablo was infinitely patient with us. He is a man completely dedicated to nature, picking up bottles along the way, and, of course, pointing out animals that we would not have seen on our own. Beyond the tour, Pablo is an awesome human being, dedicated to serving others and making the world a better place. I would go on any tour with him.

Pablo and this kayaking... - Pablo and this kayaking trip was great! I was the only one to book, because it's low season so we tandem kayaked. It's so beautiful and peaceful. Reminded me of the Florida everglades. I highly recommend this activity

We had a great time. Perfect way to see the wildlife. - Pablo picked us up at our hotel in Tamarindo. Short drive to the estuary and kayaks were ready to go. Paddled up river and saw many birds, some howler monkeys and even crocodiles ( from a safe distance )! Pablo was an expert at spotting wildlife and identifying plants and animals. We loved it!
