I loved it!!! We stopped at a little beach and stayed there for about 30 mins and enjoyed the ocean. After that they took us to a restaurant and the food was amazing!!! It was a like a Buffett and all of the food I tried was really good.

Awesome time despite the rain
We were picked up promptly by Warner and Jorge on the rainiest day of our Costa Rican vacation (24) non-stop. Warner was awesome. He was encouraging and helpful. Despite the tough weather conditions, he showed us a few things we would have missed like a sloth and porcupine. We enjoyed the trip and food afterwards. Warner turned a tropical down pour into a day my family truly enjoyed and wont forget.

Beautiful tour
The tour is very complete, we did a very beautiful kayak tour, then we saw many fish a good time and returned by kayak enjoying the sea and the scenery. Our guide excellent and took us to eat somewhere very rich.

Excellent morning, recommended!!
Fabulous morning kayaking and snorkelling. Our guide, Hugo, was excellent, explaining the history of Costa Rica and the local area. He took us to an island/reef area where we were able to see loads of beautiful fish. Recommended!!
Operator response
Thank you for the recommendation! We are so glad you had a fabulous morning on the Manuel Antonio Ocean Kayaking & Snorkeling tour. Hugo is fantastic at combining the physical fun of kayaking with the deep history of the area | it adds so much context to what you are seeing. We are thrilled the visibility cooperated at the reef so you could enjoy all those beautiful fish. Thanks for paddling with us! Pura Vida, The Tucanes Tours Team

5* Type 2 fun + deaf accessible
Fantastic time ocean kayaking with Orlando. He was excellent at communicating with my partially deaf husband, and kept us safe and having fun in some big swell. The snorkelling location was great. Viz was poor and the swell was choppy, but as experienced snorkellers we didn’t mind. The fish are super friendly!!!

Thank you for the 5-star review! We love that you appreciated the "Type 2 fun" aspect of the Manuel Antonio Ocean Kayaking & Snorkeling tour. Sometimes the ocean makes you work for it | but that is what makes the memory stick. We are incredibly proud of Orlando. Ensuring your husband felt safe and included despite the communication barriers is exactly the standard we aim for | especially when the swell picks up. Glad you enjoyed the "friendly" fish (they definitely aren't shy about saying hello!) even if the visibility was a bit murky. Thanks for being such adventurous guests! Pura Vida, The Tucanes Tours Team

Beautiful and peaceful sunset kayak tour (while getting a good workout!)
Beautiful and peaceful sunset kayaking tour! Our guide Cesar was super cool and fun, and made our experience special. It was great to go to one of the beaches, do some snorkeling, and then kayak back to the marina during the beautiful sunset. Awesome experience!
