Highly recommend kayak safari!

This trip was really excellent. My husband and I chose to paddle solo kayaks, and our guide Abel was in a third kayak. They were inflatable kayaks, very stable and maneuverable. Abel helped us to see lots of interesting birds and animals, including howler monkeys, two different kinds of iguanas, bats, anhingas, a green kingfisher, a gray hawk, a boat billed heron, and more. He was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I do think it was helpful that my husband and I are experienced paddlers. We would not have seen so much if we hadn't been able to ferry back and forth across the river to get in a good position to see things. The food served at the end was also really excellent. All in all, this was one of the best things we've done in Costa Rica.

Kayaking in Arenal lake

We had a really nice kayaking experience at Lake Arenal. Guide was great. We have a 4 y.o and 9 y.o and it felt safe. The lake was calm despite some rain during the day.

Adventure Time on the Lake

This was an amazing kayak tour with this company. Our tour guide and driver was the absolute best. Much love from the Trinidad and Tobago family. He was very knowledgeable and we got to learn a bit of the country's history. Our time on the lake was enjoyable. Will definitely recommend when visiting. Thanks much

We had a great time. The...

We had a great time. The river was fast but our guide helped us learn to tuck in for animal and bird sittings. We used a tandem kayak so my wife could more easily take pictures.

Peaceful, Educational, and Beautiful

This activity was probably one of my overall favorites during my trip -- and I've gone horseback riding, hiking, whitewater rafting, and chocolate/coffee tasting! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the animals in the river and pointed out a ton of animals that I would have otherwise missed. This was my first time kayaking, but our guide made it easy with his instructions and his expert assessment of different situations. He also kept my phone dry and took pictures for us, since I wasn't confident in my ability to do so myself while kayaking. I would recommend this tour for anyone, don't miss out!

Amazing experience

We had a wonderful kayak trip down the Penas Blancas River with our tour guide Mey. Even though I have kayaked before I had the option to ride with our tour guide. He was great finding different birds for us and we even saw a Tayra. Mey told us that was rare. He took the time to really look for different animals. After, we stopped at a local place for juice and plantains. These were wonderful.

Enjoyable night river flow

Tour guide Mauricio was very knowledgeable and was enthusiastic about seeing all the animals. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible. He had a great eye, we couldn’t believe the animals he was able to spot. Very relaxing river rafting at twilight. Cool experience with a very small group, beautiful sounds.
