I had the fantastic opportunity to kayak with Rachel at Pineapple Kayak Tours. This was my first adventure kayaking and it left me wanting to do this more often. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable about the area. I was also fortunate that on my kayak trip Carlos was along. So we had two VERY friendly and capable guides. It was one... More

We had a perfectly lovely time kayaking in the Hatillo mangroves with Rachel and her assistant. We got to see lots of wildlife, including all three sizes of Kingfisher, many other species of birds, an adorable otter, iguanas, and a tiny green water lizard. The mangroves are gorgeous and peaceful and Rachel is a very knowledgeable guide. Everything was enjoyable... More

Really enjoyed our kayak trip into the mangroves and backwaters just north of Dominical. Rachel is a well informed, enthusiastic guide, keen to share her love of the area's plants and animals. This is a laid back, unhurried tour, that my kids (aged 10 and 12) loved. The group size was just right too (7 plus guide), so it didn't... More

We had a great time on the kayak tour and Rachel and Nego were wonderful helping us get to know the area and even helped with some 4 wheel drive advice!

The mangroves were a fantastic area to kayak, lots of birds, and lizards, which made for some great pictures. In... More

You could tell right away that the owner/operators of this operation cared about providing clients with a quality experiene... More

Made the trip arrangement through the tour office near in Dominical. Drive in also quite scenic and helpful in discovering a relatively remote beach front. Friendly knowledgeable guides (husband and wife team), personalized photo followup communication, yummy fruit feast by the beach at the end of the trip. Small group, very inclusive, great venue. Good for even small children (... More

Okay, when the manager of the property we were renting suggested a mangrove kayak paddle, we were ready to skip it. We have paddled in the Florida mangroves several times and after 30 minutes on the water, it all looks the same. NOT SO IN CR! Nego, our CR guide, Educated us well on the three types of mangroves (which... More

I was a solo and joined three others...Rachel admittedly self taught is incredibly knowledgeable and infectious with her passion for the birds and wildlife...great fresh fruit snack at sunset...and then a...
