Wonderful kayak trip. - Beautiful guided kayak experience along the river. Our guide, Johnny, was excellent at pointing out the various animals - birds, caiman, and turtles; as well as giving us some facts about them. He went out of his way to ensure we all had an opportunity to view the wildlife. The plant life in the river is something to see, as are the views of the volcanoes.

Very good experience - I had a very good experience during the tour. The guide was super nice and we saw several animals in the river. Then we ended the day watching the sunset over the water, it was great! Besides, I even had a lift back because it was dark. Great experience, I recommend:)

Willie and Edwin are great - Edwin helped us get a ride from where we were staying about 10min away. We ate breakfast first and had desayuno tipico (gallo pinto). We had a tour guided by Willie! He had good English and eagle eyes. He was so good at finding all of the different creatures that were in the swamp. We saw many different kinds of heron, a baby boa in a tree, an iguana sunning itself, small camouflaged bats that blended in perfectly with the trees, giant black and red wasps, a termite mound, some colorful birds, and a very big Caiman on a log. It was a beautiful trip and the company and employees did a good job.

All kinds of good stuff, gotta go on the tour to find out more. Straight magic vibes all the way. - Steezy all the way! Hector was so helpful and had the best vibes! It wants more characters to finish the review so…. Under the sea, life is the bubbles, there are no troubles under the sea

Saw lots of animals and birds - Enderson was a great guide. He shared knowledge about plants and animals in the swamp. We saw caiman, owls, egrets, boa constrictor, blue heron, tiger heron, black iguana. Anderson gave me a lesson on how the land has changed and what the government is doing to preserve wildlife. He told me how indigenous people use plants.

Fun and very interesting! - The kayak tour was our favorite experience on the island - and there is SO much to do and see, so that says a lot! We were pretty spontanious and contacted Hector via Whatsapp and had a short call to figure out all the details. We booked an early morning tour, at 6:30. The rour os so relaxing and very nice to be out on the water. We saw tons of interesting wildlife and Hectors explenation really stuck, even days later! The tour was around 3 hours. Definitly do a kayak tour when on the island, and go with Hector - definitly recommend!

Wildlife adventure! - Even though the river is a bit too dry to kayak, we had a great tour on the lake on our kayak and then walked along the river bed for awhile. We saw an amazing amount of animals including caimans and many different birds you won't see elsewhere on the island. Hector was friendly, spoke great english, and very knowledgeable about all of the birds and had a great eye for spotting things - including owls and a bat. Recommend this tour for everyone! Great value

Cancelled last minute. Disappointing - I can see others had a great experience with hector however sadly it tainted our trip to Ometepe. My girlfriend and I booked this a day in advance, Hector was very friendly and communicative the whole time. Sadly out of the blue he rang me 15 minutes before we were supposed to meet him and he cancelled the trip and refunded us. By the time we realised we had already arrived. He offered us the trip if we had cash, but it was 3pm and we had driven 45 mins from our hostel so was too late to return. We were looking forward to this experience and were completely let down, not professional to cancel 15 minutes before the agreed meeting time. If he had simply asked for cash in the first place it would not have been an issue. Annoying!
