Great morning activity - This was a great excursion. Esteban was the perfect combination of knowledgeable and friendly. We had one other couple whom we hadn’t met before and it was so fun being with them. The ocean portion was challenging in a good way. River was nice and easy. Saw fish, birds, sloths, monkeys, turtles. Highly recommend especially with Esteban

Fun Tour with Friendly Guide - We had fun during this tour. Kayaked through the jungle with my partner. The Guide told a lot about the animals and the surroundings. The kayak is easy to drive. The river was not far, but was full of impressive animals such as lizards, iguanas, howler monkeys, turtles, ducks, crabs and sloths. The Guide is patient and helpful and takes the time to answer your questions. Also cozy!
Unfortunately, the sea was too rough to kayak there. With the Guide we therefore went for a walk to a beautiful place to view the view.
We were kindly received and the car we could park easily. Later in the morning there are fewer spots available.
Definitely recommended to go early in the morning. Then it is not so crowded and you are usually the only one in the river.

Fantastic tour! - The tour guide did an outstanding job. I was the only person signed up at this time, so essentially I got a private tour. He was so friendly, knowledgable, and really went above and beyond to make sure I got my money's worth. He even took me on a little hike afterwards to see more wildlife, great views on the water, and learn more about some of the local plant's and culture. I saw more sloth on this one tour than I did the rest of the week in Costa Rica! Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! - Such an amazing experience! We saw multiple sloths and turtles along the way. The tide was too high to do kayaking in the ocean so we only did it in the river. Our guide Yari was able to tell us a lot about the animals and the Costa Rican culture in the Caribean side of the country.

Epic adventure with a passionate guide and lots to see! - Lynch was an awesome host for this experience! It seemed like we were kayaking with a close friend. We got to see so many sloths and so much wildlife! Crabs, turtles, monkeys, and all kinds of birds. He was very knowledgeable and respectful. Explained everything and filled the tour with a lot of facts as we cruised down the river. So many photo opportunities of the wildlife! We highly recommend booking this experience if you're a beginner or a pro because he has a great eye at spotting things and has great knowledge of the history of the place you're visiting.

Beautiful river - We enjoyed the scenic river, but some things were not great. The trip started out into the sea, which was pretty rough at the time. I guess on a calm day, you would be able to see a reef, but certainly not that day. Our guide, Estoban, did not lead, but followed during that part, and since we didn’t know where to go, it was a bit unnerving.
The Uva River, though, was lovely, and we loved listening to the different forest sounds. All in all a nice time.
