We did a kayak trip through the mangroves. We saw a pelican, kingfisher, herons, loads of crabs, black kite, 2 crab eating racoons and a river otter. Pros: The otter turned this rather boring experience into a lifetime experience. Negs: Our daughter (9) was promised her own kayak, but that didn't happen. Photo's taken by the guide during the trip... More

3/27/12 - We had a wonderful time on our 4 hour kayak/snorkel adventure! Luis, our guide, was awesome. He gave us lots of good tips, spoke very good English and made us a fabulous snack on the beach which we needed after all that rowing and swimming. More

Dominical Surf Adventures does a fantastic job of providing a purely Costa Rican experience that allowed us to enjoy the sun, the ocean, and the natural beauty of the coastline. My wife and I took the Sea Cave Kayaking Tour to Playa Ventanas, and were guided by Luis. We were fortunate to be the only ones on the tour and... More

My husband and I and another couple visited Dominical and went on the Dominical Surf Adventures mangrove kayak tour. Henry was awesome. He speaks very good English and is very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and history of the area. They took us by bus (clean and safe) to the beginning of the trip. The kayaks were well maintained. The... More

Took our sons on trip to Dominical, Costa Rica for their first ever surfing and whitewater rafting experience. Henry and his staff were very informative and patient with all our learning abilities. We had three instructors for the five of us so lots of one on one time. All of us managed to ride the waves with the boys catching... More

Excellent rafting trip. The guides were friendly and very fun. We had no troubles on the river, the guides did a great job maneuvering us! A couple of spills into the water - but that made for great stories to take home. The lunch on the river was first-rate! More

We spent 4 hours kayaking in the Hatillo mangroves with guide/owner Henry, who helped us to spot varieties of herons, as well as egrets, osprey, ibis, sandpipers, cara-cara and a community of 15 white-faced Capuchin monkeys using a fallen tree to cross the river right in front of us! Nature lovers will truly enjoy this tour. Henry is a friendly,... More

We went on a rafting trip down the Savegre River and everything was first rate from start to finish. Our guides were great. Midway, we stopped at a waterfall for a break. We climbed to the top from where we were able to dive into the pool below for a refreshing swim while our guides prepared a snack for us... More

We went on the white water rafting trip on the Savegre River located between Dominical and Manuel Antonio. The organization and experience were flawless. The staff was very professional, and did everything to ensure that we all had a great time. On the ride to the set in point we received explanations about the area. We got to walk up... More
