A wonderful, informative, and beautiful experience. Juan Carlos, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and provided incredible experience. He taught us so much about the estuary and the Costa Rican mangroves. We saw a variety of birds, lizards and a crocodile!
For anyone looking to enjoy beautiful views and learn about the impressive nature, I would recommend this tour.

This was a great tour- super knowledgeable, funny, dedicated guides- we saw amazing animals (croc, birds, monkeys, lizards) and the boat was shady and cool for the whole trip. A special thank you to the company, who helped me to change the time of our tour because we we were having transportation trouble- great tour, highly recommend!

This tour was a fun way to see some Costa Rican wildlife. Our tour guide was informative and went out of his way to make sure we saw some crocodiles before the tour ended.

Juan Carlos was great. He was our captain. They picked us up from our hotel in Tamarindo. Got to see few species of birds, howling monkey and few crocs. Crocs were fleeting cause they quickly went underwater. JC is a naturalist and was knowledgeable in sharing with us some history of CR and about the estuary. They gave us water bottles and pineapple as fruit. We didn’t get to do the foot tour unfortunately.

Amazing tour and great guide! Super comfy new boat. We had a lot of fun and also learned tons of new information about the stunning nature of Costa Rica. An amazing start of the day.

Moises was a great tour guide. We saw such beautiful wildlife including two gators and howler monkeys. He is very educated about the local economy and wildlife and told us neat stories. We had a blast!

Cristian was an amazing guide - very knowledgeable, super English and a lot of fun. We saw many many birds, crocodiles, and Howler monkeys.

Boat was appropriate. Captain very smart and passionate about his job. My take is that it is high season here and they want the boats as full as possible and turnover as quickly as possible.

Guide was fun, informative and amazing! He made sure we were safe and showed us lots of critters. We even got out and our guide called out to the howler monkeys and hey talked back.
Fun and relaxing tour!

Juan Carlos our guide was so knowledgeable and excellent with pointing out wildlife. It was us and another couple and we enjoyed fresh fruit and water and he even dropped the other couple off on the beach!!! Excellent service! Highly recommend this tour!

This was a rather interesting and informative experience. We learned a lot about the environment of the mangroves and how they help with air pollution and cleansing of the water. We saw howler monkeys, alligators, birds, and learned the tide is on a 7hr rotation
