          Good but not great
          Joseph our guide and Fred the driver where great, saw scarlet macaws before we entered the park and saw squirrel monkeys after we exited the park. While in the park we only saw animals / creatures thru a telescope. The snake , sloth, spiders atc were hidden and barely visible thru the telescope. Beach visit was nice. Meals were good. Expected to see more with my eyes not thru a telescope.

          Peaceful respite and lots of wildlife
          Alvin was terrific guide and the mangrove boat experience was very enjoyable especially after the crowds we encountered at Manuel Antonio park. This boat tour was a peaceful respite where we saw lots of wildlife.

          Incredible cultural experience
          This was the excursion my wife and I were most excited for on our vacation and it did not disappoint! We started the day meeting our intelligent, energetic and personable guide Karla Alvarado who made the trip so much fun and incredibly educational. Once on location we picked our own vegetables, cooked ceviche (vegetarian), chopped/prepared/cooked a traditional Costa Rican lunch and then enjoyed the fruits of our efforts. We then explored the farm and found cocoa trees and many other spices. Finally we ground coffee beans and cocoa using traditional methods and used the products to make our own coffee, chocolate cookies and chocolate bars which we were able to bring home. Overall a truly original experience made even better by the wonderful staff!!

          This is so worth it if you love pristine environments mixed with fun on the water
          The rapids were what was expected based on the rapids class, and a perfect intro for me on my first time, and the river was fun and beautiful. The environment in the upper parts of the river that can be done this time of year without fearing class 4+ rapids was so worth it. The clear clean water, and just energy of the pristine environment I found very profound and I was filled with a sense of wonder multiple times. We were entertained by Jaun on the way up, and I forget the name of our boats guide, but he was top notch and fully enhanced the rest of the experience. One of the nicest men I’ve met.

          Book Jeremy for your Tucanes tour of Manual Antonio National Park
          Jeremy was our guide for the day. He was so kind and just as excited to show us all the wildlife that Manual Antonio National park has to offer. We saw sloths, 3 different types of monkeys, even an anteater! He ensured our tour group saw everything and he had so much knowledge about the animals and the surrounding area. Definitely book a tour and ask for Jeremy!

          Fun and good site seeing
          The ride was really fun, the weather was also nice so we were able to spot some cool birds. Orlando, the guide, made the ride fun and exiting but safe. And the included lunch is really appreciated

          Beautiful and peaceful sunset kayak tour (while getting a good workout!)
          Beautiful and peaceful sunset kayaking tour! Our guide Cesar was super cool and fun, and made our experience special. It was great to go to one of the beaches, do some snorkeling, and then kayak back to the marina during the beautiful sunset. Awesome experience!

          Thank you Tyrone and crew for amazing day
          We had a great day with Tyrone and his crew. We stayed near Jaco Beach so pick up and drop off was easy and convenient. The meals were very good, as were our drinks. The park itself is pretty interesting. The guides provided information I wouldn’t have known and their use of binoculars and telescope to see the animals up close is awesome! The beach time was incredible. Sneakers are best for the terrain. Highly recommend for solo, couples and families.

          Great tour, very interesting
          We did the guided tour with our guide Brenda. She had a lot of interesting facts about all the different plants and the wildlife. She was super friendly and bubbly, answered all of our questions and looked after everyone. Big recommendation!

          Traditional Costa Rican cooking experience
          We had fun doing a cooking lesson and preparing a local traditional meal at a farm outside of Quepos. Karla was a great hostess and teacher and Brenda in the kitchen was very sweet and helpful. Pedro, our driver, took good care of us over very bumpy roads. It was a fun experience for the whole family!

        We had a wonderful time with Leandro, Erick, Jonathan and Jairo! They gave us information about the surrounding areas, wildlife and crops as we made our way to the raft location. They did a safety briefing prior to beginning and made us feel comfortable although we were nervous. It was seriously the most fun I've ever had on an excursion! Jonathan captured amazing photos and videos for us to remember the experience and we purchased them at a reasonable price. They provided us with a snack after rafting and we had a great lunch at the end! We are going to come back and try a level V one day! Thank you so much for this experience!

        My mom (67 years old) and I had an absolute blast! We had never river rafted before so had no idea what to expect, but our guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful, making us feel safe the entire time. The river was challenging but definitely doable for any age or experience level. We really enjoyed this activity and highly recommend it for anyone in the area.

        We had an amazing trip down the river with this tour company. It was a quiet day so we ended up with a private tour just the three of us, myself, my husband and our 20 year old daughter. Nicholas was our river guide, he was amazing and although it was very much still an adventure, we all felt very safe! Erik and Jonathan were our kayakers for extra safety and to take pictures and they too were excellent. All three were funny and entertaining, yet always mindful of our safety! Our driver was “Super Mario” and he also was a gem, providing lots of information about the environment, he had a refreshing drink and snacks ready for us after the rafting and got us safely to and from our location! Great lunch at the tour office afterwards capped off a perfect day! Thank you all for making our rafting adventure something we will never forget! Highly recommended!

        We are glad that we saved this activity for our final day in Costa Rica. There was no topping it - and we did some pretty amazing things including caving and ziplining. Orlando, Mario, and Flaco took great care of us. Flaco drove skillfully through the steep hills of Manuel Antonio and the surrounding area. Mario traveled with us in a sea kayak the entire time taking pictures and video. He took our youngest (11) in the kayak with him towards the end of the tour, which she loved. Orlando guided us masterfully down the river and threw in a few surprises (which I will not spoil!). Orlando also shared his knowledge of flora and fauna - we saw a number of sea birds (herons, egrets), other birds, and Jesus lizards. Roughly halfway down the river was a gorgeous waterfall. When we arrived at the end of the tour, Flaco was waiting for us with fresh fruit and drinks. We then had a typical lunch at the Tucanes restaurant. Mario transferred pictures and video to our cell phone so we have memories to last a lifetime. On a scale of 1 to 10, this was an 11!

        My boyfriend and I had the best adventure after two days prior of rain and our guides Jilo and Orlando. Not to Forget Super Mario our amazing driver safely venturing up the narrow roads to a higher altitude for the more advanced rapids! He also showed us the many plants that make up modern household products like citronella and BenGay. These guides love what they do and it’s apparent through the pictures that we taken that day! Facial expressions say it all! The guides were extremely personal and shared their experiences and history with the river and adventures! The rapids were a 3/4 that day and we didn’t fall out! We also had a delicious authentic Costa Rican meal following our trip. We are happy to have found this group and will be bringing many of our guests from the states!

        Had a fantastic experience with Nico and the whole crew.
        We were a mixed group of varying abilities and the guides were able to make sure that everyone was safe and had fun. We all had a chance to get out of the boat and swim bit as well.
        The only negative was the time it took traveling to the start of the rafting and then again after. This is a 6/7 hour event, with only 2 hours of actual rafting.

        This was the perfect challenge for our family, with some mild to moderately intense moments punctuated by long stretches of floating and enjoying the scenery. Our guide Jairo was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. His instructions were clear, and he made even novice rafters. Feel very comfortable. Plus, he spent a lot of time pointing out interesting plants and animals – we even made a rare squirrel monkey sighting! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.

        Simply the best! We had an amazing experience with the best tour guides ever, Luis and Juan Carlos, we’re the best guides ever on the raft and on the kayak, taking us to a wide range of rapids. It was above and beyond fantastic. They showed us the wild life as well. We did some surfing in the rapids that was super-fun! Overall an unforgettable experience! Thank you Luis for keeping the raft steady and and thank you Juan Carlos for all great photos and videos!

        What a fun experience !!! This was honestly the favorite tour we did during our entire stay in Costa Rica. The staff was amazing!! They really cared about your safety. They made sure everyone was comfortable and informed about what was happening and expected. They also truly loved what they do and made sure we loved it as well. We had Orlando as our guide and we loved him!!! Great group of people and a really fun activity.

        This was a super fun time! Orlando picked us up and shared interesting information about the area with us as we drove to get the raft guide and boat. Enrique was an expert driver of the big truck that transported us and the equipment to the put in site. Here’s the best part - Orlando asked us questions to ensure we would enjoy the rafting — and because we had done rafting before in other places, he checked to see if switching to a different river, a more exciting rapids, would be okay, and so we did switch to the Naranja. IT WAS A BLAST! So fun! Our guide, Nicholas, with Orlando in the kayak in front of our raft, was fantastic! Super friendly and funny. We had the best time today and we would do it again! You will love this team and the fun rafting!! Thanks so much to tucanes tours!
