Awesome tour, awesome people there - An amazing experience! We went with our toddler, and everyone had a great time. We saw amazing animals and everyone who worked there was just great, especially our guide Jonny. We'll suggest this tour to do if our friends and family for sure. Next time, when our son is older, we'll definitely kayak!

A MUST do experience!! - This was fantastic. Johnny our tour guide was so knowledgeable. My husband got to sit on a water buffalo, the lunch was delicious. Lots of wildlife spotted and the white faced capuchins climbed on top of the boat and entertained us and playfully knocked my husband’s hat off 3 times. So funny.

So Awesome! Ask for Andres! - Awesomeness! This was a great tour! Ask for Andres, he was excellent! We saw sloths, capuchin monkeys, lizards and boas, Jesus Christ lizards running on water, and… more monkeys! The snack was a huge amount of fresh fruit, so tasty. Andres knew all about the mangroves and the farm. Showed us the different types of edible planters and trees, as well as, chaperoned our kids to the Water Buffalo!

More than a boat tour. - This is much more than a boat ride our guide (Andres) started by showing us local plants and explaining their history and importance. Wow. Tasting and smelling things in plane sight. Then we got to learn about the natural approach to farming and meet some of the water buffalo. Next the boat tour. Too many creatures to name. The boat pilot must have zoom vision. What skill. Andres was so informative and knowledgeable. Complete respect for the environment (no feeding to bring monkeys closer) and talked us through the habitat, animals and plants. We returned to a delicious lunch and cold drinks.

Highly recommend - Andres and David were amazing tour guides. Andres showed amazing passion for the animals and the area. Andres taught us alot about the plants and area. We saw 2 snakes, 2 slothes, an anteater, birds, and monkeys. The first part we learned about plants, water buffalo and chickens. We had an amazing time!!! Carlos picked us up and taught us about the area. I highly recommend booking a tour with them.

Good experience - The experience was great. We were transferred from the hotel to the mangrove, where we were greeted with a very good talk about the different types of trees, we saw some buffalo and got on the boat. Our guide was Andres and is very good! He explained everything perfectly and in great detail, we saw a snake, sloths, goats, crabs and so on. It was very good experience, I definitely recommend it.

Quepos Mangrove boat tour - The tour of the property, explanations of the wild life and meal were excellent. Johnny our naturalist guide and also our boat driver were both well informed and very accommodating. We were pleased that Johnny pointed out so many animals as well as natural vegetation. His enthusiasm for nature and his job made the tour that much more enjoyable.
