Why Book With Us?

We’re not a massive tour operator, and that’s kind of the point. Our Térraba River kayak tour is led by real locals who live here, paddle here, and actually care about the mangroves. No megaphones, no matching vests – just small groups, genuine guides, and a quiet adventure into one of Costa Rica’s most fascinating ecosystems. We believe in slow travel, fresh air, and the kind of tours where you learn something cool and go home with muddy shoes. If that sounds like your kind of trip, let’s paddle.

Note: This is an active kayak tour that requires participants to paddle for an extended period on a natural river route. The Térraba River flows through a remote mangrove ecosystem, and weather conditions can change quickly. Exposure to sun, water, and occasional rain is to be expected as part of the experience. We strongly recommend using waterproof bags for any personal items. Please note that we are not responsible for any damage to clothing, electronics, or other belongings due to water exposure during the tour.

Join us for a guided mangrove kayak tour on the Térraba River, where tangled roots, silent waters, and jungle sounds create one of the most surreal landscapes in Central America. This isn’t just a peaceful paddle – it’s a deep dive into a living ecosystem, where every turn of the river brings you face to face with something wild.
