  • 4No response.

    Tour itself was good. Sometimes we had to navigate among mangroves or under them. We bumped a lot, but we were able to move forward. Kayaking was fun and I loved it. One issue I had was to communicate with tour provider. Tour operator changed pickup time and I had a question on logistics. I found email address and phone number of the tour operator. I emailed twice and called tour times in the morning of tour date. I even tried to contact it thru trip advisor twice. I received no answer what so ever.

  • 5Fun kayaking tour in mangrove area

    Javier is our tour guide. Since this is the first time to do kayaking, Javier told us how to row the paddles to control the kayak’s direction. He guided us, and introduced us the local weather features, and showed us the animals we met during kayaking in the area, like bats, birds, etc. He guided and helped us to go thru some narrow water channels, we did appreciate him. Anyway, he is a really kind tour guide, making our first kayaking easier, more hilarious and more interesting.

    This was an AMAZING tour that we booked the night before! They responded quickly, picked us up, and were by far the best tour we could have chosen! Elliot was an incredible guide—he took his time, showed us so much more than I ever imagined, and was genuinely interested in making sure we had a great experience. He took such good care of us! Definitely request Elliot—you won’t be disappointed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About Quepos

Quepos is a small Pacific port in Costa Rica beside Manuel Antonio National Park, with rainforest, white beaches and sport-fishing boats.

Quepos sits on the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, a fishing town and former banana port now surrounded by oil palm plantations and forested hills. Its marina brings in boats chasing sailfish and marlin, and a small main street has shops, simple restaurants and a stretch of seafront. The town is the base for the nearby national park, a few kilometres away along a hilly road.
