Punta Uva is a must do! - Fabulous trip kayaking, no experience needed very relaxed, on the Uva river! Lots of animal sightings. We were especially excited to see the spider monkeys & emerald Jesus Christ lizard. Lots of sloths on the beach and easy to see. Very informative guide. Thank you Aidren! And Joel for the great transportation! Absolutely loved Punta Uva! Do this tour!

Relaxing kayak/hike/swim at Punta Uva - A great visit and education of the Caribbean wildlife and plants. The kayak was a gentle pace to allow for many sightings. Prepare to get wet! Followed by a lovely hike with great views. The afternoon trip allowed for a lovely sunset during the hike and following swim in the ocean. Overall it was a great afternoon with a great guide.

It was magical - It was a magical. Our guide Andre took us slowly and quietly down the river. We really listened to to the jungle and were rewarded with lots of wildlife.

Amazing tour, amazing guide - Adrian is a brilliant guide with a huge amount of knowledge of the animals and plants of Costa Rica. He also shared a brief history of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and the cultures of the area. Adrian made the tour fun and engaging with his passion and interesting information. The kayaking was absolutely stunning, so peaceful and beautiful, and we saw so many different animals. It was great that we went early as when we were on the water there were very few other people, but later it got busier. The forest walk was also lovely and not difficult at all, with a great viewpoint. Overall we absolutely loved this tour and would definitely recommend.

great guide! - Adrian was a great guide - very knowledgeable about Costa Rica. Thanks to him, we spotted a lot of wildlife that we would never have seen on our own - lots of howler and white-face monkeys, sloths, bats, toucans, frogs and orb weaver spiders. Highly recommend!
