Highly recommended
This is a family owned business that truly delivered the Tico experience. We had our choice between a power boat or kayaking trip. We chose the power boat. Part of this tour includes door to door service from where you are staying to William's home and back. Once there, we embarked on a tour hosted by William's niece Laura. She did a wonderful job of explaining the different mangroves and their environment while seeing our fair share of monkeys, a four-eyed opossum, a boa, bats, and a large variety of water birds and crabs. When we returned an outstanding "Tipico" breakfast was made and served by William's wife. If you are looking for a real off the grid Costa Rican experience, this is the one for you

Mrs.
The ride along the mangroves was exactly as advertised. We started our trip with a school of monkeys and then enjoyed the scenery and peacefulness of the mangroves. We saw a silky anteater, bats, lots of flora and learned a little about the area from our guide. The highlight of the trip, however, ended up producing my favorite meal in all of costa rica. The owner.s mother and family served traditional fare for lunch. I had delicious fish, some kind of cucumber sald which was outstanding, salty delicious plantain chips topped with amazing cashew juice for a beverage.
