      Very good
      The guide was very good. Good equipment, nice snacks. They had showers which people can use afterwards. Only two other kayaks (plus the guide) when we went allowing detailed conversations. We saw scarlet macaws and sandpipers

      Great kayak tour for families
      We have enjoyed every minute of the Mangrove Kayak Tour. Our guide Lino did a great job explaining the flora and fauna of the Plantaranes river. The twin kayak worked well for 2 adults and 2 small kids. We would recommend the tour for the morning or the afternoon to avoid the midday sun. Thanks to Alberto for his great consulting and customer service.

      Relaxing paddle
      Had a great morning paddling mangroves. Saw plenty of birdlife and lizards/iguanas. Laura our guide also gave insights into mangrove ecosystem. Paddled at a leisurely pace and stopped on way back at beach for swim/refreshments. Staff were very helpful/professional in dealing with the demands of a group with very small children and the other end of the age spectrum. There is also a nice cafe attached for post paddling refreshments.

      Great tour
      This turned out to be a mangrove + sunset + bioluminescence tour which it didn’t say when we booked on Tripadvisor but which was really nice and we enjoyed it a lot. Special thanks to our very knowledgable guide who knew so much about biology!

      Great experience!
      Great experience! We went on the bioluminescent night kayak tour, and it was fun, educational and well organized. I unfortunately don't remember our guide's name, but he was 10/10! The bioluminescence was amazing to see - recommend bringing goggles! They also arranged a taxi for us and the driver (maybe an owner?) was so friendly.

      Bioluminescence
      Bring goggles! We saw the bioluminescence from the surface but once we put on our masks, looked under the water and moved our hands, it was really amazing. Our guide was kind, informative and fun!

      A delightful adventure in the Mangroves
      Our tour guide, Alberto is a very informative, patient teacher. His gentle guidance allowed some family members to be more energetic while taking care of the smaller and slower travelers. His knowledges and love for the Mangroves shows. Watch out, his love for the mangroves may wear off on you.

      Don’t miss this tour!
      Wonderful tour!! This was our favorite thing we did in Costa Rica. The kayaking was fun and the view of the sunset from the water was beautiful. We really enjoyed the coconut and pineapple and the bioluminescence was just amazing. The best thing about the tour however was the guides. We had Lino and Hector and they were knowledgeable and fun and just so nice! We also really enjoyed learning about the stars and viewing them with the app on our phone (which we had no idea even existed). The tour was worth every penny. Definitely do this tour. We did wish that we had arrived earlier to enjoy the hamburgers at the cafe once we got there. They looked and smelled yummy.

      Great trip, knowledgeable guides
      Loved everything about the trip. Golfo Dulce is very calm and not crowded at all. We say many many more fish and animals than people. Highly recommend it.

      Lost out of money
      When I booked my trip it switched to a different country and I was not able to change the booking. I lost out of all my money and I thought at least they could have given me a credit! I will never use this service again!

      The highlight of my trip!
      This was simply incredible, truly the highlight of my trip. The kayak into the mangroves was so peaceful and beautiful and Alberto the guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the creatures living there and the ecosystem. The lessons in tropical living with the pineapple and the coconut were great fun as we waited for the sun to go down. The bioluminescents were absolutely beautiful, and are the best in the whole of Costa rica

      The most amazing experience - once in a lifetime
      Alberto was a great guide, he had so much knowledge about everything and you could tell he was truly passionate about all the nature around him. He taught us how to crack coconuts and cut pineapple on the beach waiting for the sun to go down. Once dark, we swam in the bioluminescent which was a once in a lifetime experience. Alberto took us to the best places and showed us so much. Thank you!
