You won’t be disappointed!

This was an AMAZING tour that we booked the night before! They responded quickly, picked us up, and were by far the best tour we could have chosen! Elliot was an incredible guide—he took his time, showed us so much more than I ever imagined, and was genuinely interested in making sure we had a great experience. He took such good care of us! Definitely request Elliot—you won’t be disappointed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A must do in Manuel Antonio!

Highly recommend this tour. It was such a peaceful and unique way of seeing this part of the country. Elliot was a great guide, attentive, fun and gave us a fantastic experience. And the lunch afterwards was delicious!

Edgar isn’t a guide

I expected a guide to do more than paddle ahead of us. Luckily we passed other groups and were able to hear other groups getting explanations as we went.

Great tour with Elías!

Elías was an exceptional guide who helped us discover the fauna and flora of the mangrove in a very pleasant tour where there was a little something for everyone: adventure, animal watching, and a quiet and peaceful walk... Really very, very good. Five stars.
