We had a great time on this tour! I’ll admit I was a little skeptical going in but it turned out to be one of the best excursions we did in Costa Rica. Our guide Lino (I hope I’ve spelled it correctly) was awesome and just an all round good guy and interesting to talk to. I highly recommend this tour!
Such an awesome...

This tour was a lovely way to start the morning here in Puerto Jimenez. The water that you kayak on throughout the whole trip was very gentle and the mangroves were beautiful. Our tour guide Lino made sure to teach us all about the plants and animals in the area. Towards the end of the tour we had some delicious fruit on the beach before heading back. I would recommend wearing sunscreen as half of the tour is in direct sunlight.
Peaceful

It was very peaceful and took a while getting used to it as we’d never done it before. But very enjoyable
