Kayaking through the lush tropical rainforest river was beautiful and serene. Alex is an excellent guide.
Highlight of our trip! Today’s tour with Alex was an amazing experience from start to finish. He showed us so much wonderful wildlife and explained everything so well. A truly great experience for all of us—thank you, Alex! 10/10 would recommend!
Alex was very thorough about digital communications, but once we were out on the water he seemed thoroughly uninterested in sharing information about the animals and the environment. He told folks in our group not to touch a specific tree but didn't say why (there were other people sitting on the tree). Pleasant but the whole thing felt "off," including the guys who hung around the hut where we met.
Great experience! We definitely got our money’s worth. The atmosphere was amazing.
Alex was very nice and a good guide, it was very flexible to accommodate our needs. The place is easy to be found. The tour was very beautiful and we saw many animals.
Wonderful tour! Alex was an amazing guide, with a keen eye to spot wildlife. We’ve never been so close to a sloth. The entire family had a great time. Highly recommend!

Its was nice we got a message the day before our trip with the directions of the location, which were really helpful. Alex was a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the animals, fauna and history. I lnew all the fine place to look at slots and monkeys. He took all the time in the world to let us see things and at the end of the trip he had a fresh coconut for us. Long story short i will recommend this trip and ask for Alex when you book. He is the best.

Alex was an amazing guide for kayaking! He did such a good job pointing out all sorts of plants and animals and was clearly very well studied in the history of Costa Rica! He even took some great photos for us. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely be back.

Truly a must do experience if you’re in Town. Alex was so nice and knowledgeable. He made the experience personalized and made sure to keep an eye out for all of the cool things we came to see. We saw several sloths, iguanas, and turtles. We learned a lot about the area and the indigenous people surrounding it. He had fresh coconut water afterwards and we went on a quick hike to see a view point of the ocean. 5/5. I would do it again.
