Best Mangroves Tour! - This was a beautiful place and incredible tour! Our family of six from ages 1 to 75 years old loved it. We saw kingfishers, iguanas, Jesus Christ lizards, monkeys VERY up close, snakes, a sloth and so much more. We saw just as many if not more animals here than on our Manuel Antonio national park tour. Our guide Johnny was knowledgeable, kind, and fantastic! The Costa Rican meal at the end was delicious. Our kids really loved feeding the chickens and interacting with the sweet, docile water buffalo. I highly recommend this trip!!

Eco tour excellent - We had a great visit to Naracosta. They are ecologically minded and authentic. Our host, guides and experience were very safe and fun for our family of four. Johnny and Andres were very knowledgeable and had excellent interpersonal skills. We highly recommend Naracosta for an adventure tour in the Quepos area.

Kayaking Mangroves and so much more! - Our family had a wonderful kayaking experience with Sebastian. It was fun learning about all the varieties of endemic and non-native plants. The walking palms are amazing! We also got to feed chickens, hold a rooster, and pet a water buffalo. It was interesting to watch them harvest the palm fruit. We loved kayaking and learning about the different mangrove trees and their purpose. We saw many animals including white-faced monkeys, bats, 2 common boas, and much more! We would definitely come back!

Kayaking through the mangroves - We did the kayaking tour. First we got information about some flowers, plants, mushrooms en birds. Than we went next door. There they had chickens, turkeys and 2 water buffelos. If you want, you are aloud to sit on one of them.
After that we went to the kayaks. To get in, you wil get wet feet, but then you are in and on your way.
On the way we saw some birds, lizards, iguanas, crabs, monkeys and even an anaconda. That was really nice.
After that we went the same way back. At the and we got our typical Costa Rica breakfast. Gallo Pinto with some banana chips en pineapple on the side.
After breakfast we were brought back to the hotel.
It was a very nice activity. Our guide Johnny knew a lot about the animals, plants en trees and we got a lot of time to make pictures, look around and enjoy the surroundings. We would definitely recommend this activity!

The kayak tour was great! - Loved this kayak outing! Our guide, Andres, clearly loves the nature of the area and sharing it with others. He taught us so much about the area and we even got to see a boa in the tree above us, along with bats, lizards, monkeys and more. We were on the 11am tour.

Mangrove Kyaking with a side of Sloth! - Aleandro (I'm sure I spelled this incorrectly) was spectacular! The whole tour was great. We saw lots of birds, and mammals. Toucan, the state bird, Hawks, raccoons, monkeys galore and the best was a male 3 toed sloth! (0 days since the last sloth siting!) Kyacking is the way to go for sure. Much slower pace and a good workout! Haha for those of you who only go fast... Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave many cool facts about the locals and the wildlife. We saw crabs, Jesus Christ lizards and Giant Iguanas. They also have a trail around the area and you can see cows, bulls, water buffalo, and lots of other things! Seriously book this trip and request Alandro (maybe this is rhe spelling...)
