I wouldn't go again. It is not located in or near Jaco - it's about 15 km north of Jaco. We were picked up in a very battered van, which was our first impression. The kayaks were OK. We paddled about an hour, with two rest periods due to some inexperienced kayakers who struggled a little. We stopped at Playa... More

We enjoyed our 1/2 day kayak on the ocean with Kayak Jaco. We needed double kayaks as we have 3 children. One of the children went with one of the guides. We were a bit surprised to end up on the beach of the property where we were staying (Playa Blanca at Club Punta Leona) but it was about as... More

I live in Jaco area and we booked with Kayak Jaco to take visiting family members on a kayak tour along the coast to a deserted beach for snorkelling. We were two Mums, two 8-year old boys and a 13-year old girl. This was our visitors' first experience snorkelling or kayaking and the staff at Kayak Jaco could not have... More

We scheduled this tour at the last minute. They picked us up from the hotel and drove us to the beach. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We kayaked for about an hour over to a different beach where we got out and snorkeled for about 45 minutes. The water was clearer than I had expected and we saw... More

The three words that would describe the experience would be: fun, relaxing and knowledgeable. Fun: Being Californians, we have high expectations of water trips. Neil made us feel comfortable as soon as we climbed into his boat. He gave us options as to what we wanted to do such as: snorkeling, fishing, sailing or lounging on the white sand private... More

This was a great tour. They picked us up and dropped us back off at our place. We broke into double kayaks and singles for those who wanted to. The kayaking gave us great bird watching and when we arrived at our beach destination the snorkling was a blast. I would recommend this to anyone with people of any age. More

I went with a tour group to Kayak Jaco. My group was mostly older folks and no one had any problems with the physical part. Rowing the outrigger canoe was fun and Limoncito Beach where we ended up was really pretty. The best part is no one else is there! One of the guides walked around with me and found... More

6 of us chose the outrigger canoe which was a smart choice since the waves could make paddling a kayak a little tougher. All the guides were outstanding and when we stopped for the snorkeling one of the guides was in the water with us and dove down to bring up different sea life for us to hold like a... More

We enjoyed an amazing Kayak tour while staying in Jaco, the staff was wonderful, "Frog" a professional surfer had an expert knowledge of the ocean which made our half day sea kayak tour more enjoyable. There were many manta rays flipping in the air, on the snorkeling portion of the tour we saw octopus puffer fish and many other beautiful... More
