This was such fun! Our guide, Maria, was excellent and was great at not only pointing out the animals/plants, but also educating us about the ecosystems around us. You can tell that they care deeply for their country. As someone who doesn't kayak regularly, this was an easy 2 hour tour, but we were definitely tired by the end. They served us some tasty fresh fruit when we arrived back to the starting point.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Nacarcosta is committed to ecological sustainability and respecting nature. We hope to see you soon.
Such a great experience. Leandro was a wonderful guide. So much to see and fun explanations about it all. Felt safe in the kayak.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with tourists looking for a different kind of experience.
Great experience. Very friendly and competent staff. Alan was an informative and fun guide. The farm visit was a nice plus to the AMAZING kayak ride. Very Nice location
The entire Nacarcosta team strives to provide a great experience in the area. Thank you for your kind words.
Well organized and entertaining. Ride the Buffalo, that is important! Memo was our guide and he is very well versed in the wildlife and the overall environment you are operating in. Great family excursion. We saw white faced monkeys, lizards, birds, Cayman, etc. Definitely try this one out.
Nacarcosta is honored to hear such kind comments. Thank you for all your support, and hope to see you soon.
We loved the mangrove kayak tour. Our family group ranged in age from 10 to 78 and we all had a wonderful time. Alex was an excellent guide. He taught the basics of kayaking to those of us who had limited experience and helped us when we didn’t quite nail the turns. He was great at spotting wildlife and was enthusiastic about informing us about what we were seeing, be it trees, monkeys, birds, iguanas etc. We would definitely recommend a mangrove kayak tour with Alex.
Thank you so much for such lovely recommendations and experiences in Nacarcosta.
A relaxing and informative experience. Our guide Alex was friendly, knowledgeable, and moved at a good pace for the various skill levels and ages of our family. I’d highly recommend using these guys
We are delighted to hear about your wonderful experience in Nacarcosta. Thank you for visiting us.
We did the 2 hour kayak tour with their new guide, Alex, and he was amazing! He took his time, checked in with everyone, knew a lot about the wildlife, and his communication skills were excellent - including English. We would definitely recommend Alex to anyone. We liked that he didn't try to feed wild animals just to get them close to us. We respectfully observed and enjoyed and let it all come to us. A very good, minimal impact experience we'd do again if we get the chance to come back.
Thank you for you nice words Gracias y nos vemos pronto
Alex was a wonderful guide! It was a very relaxed and educational tour. We saw so many lizards, birds and monkeys! We learned so much. Peaceful and beautiful trip! I’d highly recommend this tour and Alex!
Nacarcosta Wildlife Adventure is delighted that you had a wonderful experience. Thank you for your kind words.
Alex our tour guide took us on a lovely kayak trip through the mangroves! It wasn’t physically demanding and a much more peaceful and enjoyable way to watch wildlife than the boat tours. While we didn’t see any sloths, we did see monkeys birds and iguanas. Really loved how respectful of wildlife Alex and Nacarcosta Wildlife Adventures are!
We are very committed to providing excellent service. Thank you for all your comments.
The kayak tour with Nacarcosta was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Memo was our tour guide. Memo is very knowledgeable. We learned so much from him. He gave us time and many fascinating explanations of the animals and fauna/flora around the canal. Memo promotes a strong sense of environmental protection. He has a perfect sense of humor and you can feel his high level of passion and enthusiasm about his job and mission. He wants you to love and protect his country's exceptional nature.
Nacarcosta is committed to the environment and sustainability, fostering a harmonious relationship between ecotourism and the natural world. Thank you for recognizing the difference between conventional tourism and the way of enjoying the environment without harming the ecosystem. We hope you will visit us soon.
