Great way to spend a morning - Kayaking the Tamarindo Estuary with Pablo - Pablo had us on the water looking for crocs, stingrays, monkeys and a variety of birds - and we saw them all... The crocodiles were small, although that was fine for us as we didn't want to encounter anything big while we're in a kayak. Pablo helped us find the Howler monkeys by exiting the kayak and going for a little hike - What a frightening sound I won't forget too soon!

Fascinating wildlife - The kayak tour was a lot of fun. We saw a crocodile, monkeys and many fascinating birds. Also, the Mangrove is a magical place that you should absolutely visit when you're in the area.

Peaceful morning - What a great way to enjoy a peaceful morning in Tamarindo! The entire experience was easy from the beginning. Everything was well planned and on time. While kayaking through the mangroves we saw lots of wildlife and got to really relax in the quiet peacefulness of the inlets. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Was fun... - Great experience. Was fun to be out in the mangrove with kayaks. You can get very close to the wildlife without scaring it off. Our guide had a great eye for spotting animals!

Estuary escape from Tamarindo - Pablo is an experienced tour guide and gave us an authentic look at the nearby nature in the waterways. The kayaking can be rigorous for those with delicate hands (like myself), but we appreciated his patience. Bring sunscreen! And bandaids if your skin breaks easy

Amazing time - This excursion was fantastic. Pablo was an amazing tour guide and was very knowledgeable! If you’re looking for a nice relaxed experience, 10/10 would recommend. Got to see wildlife and other marine animals that I can’t see back in the United States.

Peaceful kayaking in the estuary - We had a great time. Our guide (the owner) was friendly, informative, helpful, and flexible. It was a calm and authentic way to experience the estuary and see a crocodile, birds, crabs, trees, and more. Definitely recommend for families. Pro-tip: the restaurant at the end has drinks for sale.
