Great half day kayaking and snorkelling
Fabulous half day tour kayaking and snorkelling. Good quality kit and tour led by Alex and Mauricio. Kayak was maybe 1.5-2 km each way, then we stopped at a beautiful cove for a snack and snorkelling. Visibility wasn’t too bad, could see lots fish. After return kayak went back to base for nice local lunch. Included transfers. Wear water shoes as little rocky getting in and out at both ends, a towel and some dry clothes for after. Don’t need a wet sack unless you want to as everything can be left safely on the bus.

Highly recommended
We had a great afternoon, kayaking and snorkeling. Our guide, Alex, was very nice and helpful. This was our first time to do ocean kayaking and snorkeling, but everything went really well. The view of Quepos coastal line was beautiful! The meal at the end of the tour was delicious!

Expected something different/ more informative based on the advertisement
Seemed disorganized. Expected/ didn’t get scientific “biodiversity“, Brief snorkel, only one type of panfish seen.
Operator response

We will meet with Alex and Gabriel our guides, to encourage them to share more information and be more proactive during their tours. I am Adrian Martinez - from Iguana Tours.

A very fun experience
We drove the kayak from the harbour to a coral where we got off and snorkelled to see the fish. Then we continued to Biesanz where we ate some very delicious snacks, after half an hour we turned. It was a very nice and fun experience, the guide Mario was very friendly and good vibe

Relaxing paddle
We enjoyed our time. Beautiful sky, and nice kayaking. The snorkeling was not good due to the storm the night before. The visit to the island was fine, which included fresh pineapple and lots of monkeys. I think we would have preferred a remote island and more wildlife and special features of the area.
All the staff were very friendly. The facilities were nice and clean. The lunch was amazing!
