We had a great time doing the kayak tour! Warner was a super fun guide. He pointed out lots of wildlife to us and took some pictures for us. The food at the end was a great touch as well!

This was the best part of our trip to Costa Rica! We saw howler monkeys, Crocodiles, a great white egret. It was beautiful and peaceful. Our guide was great. I like that it was a float, and not a race, so we were able to really experience nature.

Fantastic 1.5-2 hour float down the Peñas Blancas and San Carlos Rivers, about 30 minutes outside of La Fortuna (transportation provided to/from). Kayakers are paired with a dedicated kayak guide and trail the accompanying rafters. We really enjoyed the freedom the maneuver in our own kayak and could slow down when we wanted to view wildlife. On the tour, we saw lots of howler monkeys, an American crocodile, a gazillion iguanas and other lizards, numerous birds, and a turtle. The tour was concluded with a tasty snack of tortillas with fresh cheese and fried plantains and then a very truncated chocolate demonstration. Go for the river and wildlife but also eat their chocolate!
