Wonderful! - Highly recommend this tour! Our guide Franklin was amazing. He was so knowledgeable, funny and kind and he even added an extra stop at the end of our trip to visit the local farmers market. He kept telling us that this was his hobby more than it was his job, and that was evident throughout the entire experience. It was an hour paddle to a quiet little beach and then an hour paddle back. My husband and I kayak often in rivers but had not kayaked in the ocean before. It was much easier than expected and certainly will be an activity we’ll book on future trips. 10/10 recommend - Thank you Franklin and Jordan for an incredible experience!

Costa Rica kayak adventure - This was an absolutely wonderful experience, with a 20 minute or so paddle across a bay from one beautiful city park, with a cliff with pelicans and frigate birds roosting in a tree, to a beautiful beach with snorkeling off a rocky shoal. Our tour guide, Franklin, was terrific, patient with the slower paddlers (myself) and informative about the local sites and wildlife. We had the best lunch of our entire trip with fresh fruit, chicken and rice and black beans (better chicken and rice than we had anywhere else) afterward. I highly recommend this company and enjoyed our Costa Rican kayaking adventure so much!

Kayaking Fun - Guide was good, kayaking was not too long and not too short, beach was pleasant and we saw a sloth. Snorkeling was an added bonus. It is great to be out on the water.

Ocean kayaking is not a leisure adventure - The company it’s self was great. But ocean kayaking is not for the faint of heart. This was booked by the other couple we were traveling with, and I trusted that all adventures would be fun and leisure but this was not. Our guide was knowledgeable but often kayak ahead of us. Me having a back problem would have never booked this trip. You need to be fairly athletic and in shape to be able to paddle into the current. We stopped to snorkel but the spot we were at was pretty murky and we didn’t see much at all, plus due to my lack of upper body strength I struggled to be able to get back in my kayak in deep water. Overall the company was great and the lunch they served was excellent but you can count me out for next time.

Lots of work, but Stunning! - Kayaking the ocean was BEAUTIFUL…..but know before you go, this is not a trip for the out of shape. It was hard for us both ways, and we are people that workout. Our guide was very nice but will leave you behind. Bottom line, if you can handle the constant paddle against the waves, the scenery is unbelievably beautiful!!

Not as described - be careful - Although our kayaking guides did a great job taking us kayaking, the tour description details that you will also go snorkeling at a reef. I thought I was paying for , “… stopping to snorkel at a coral reef.” This is not correct. Our guides did not even bring snorkels or show us a reef. This is very misleading. I did not pay for what I got.
