Trip Overview

Our pedal kayak expedition starts at the scenic coastline of the local bay of Maracas from where we will set off to explore the breathtakingly beautiful coastline of Manuel Antonio, witness wild and marine life roam in their natural habitat and exotic sea birds flying over us while we pedal.

We will pass by 4 to 5 secluded beaches you would not be able to witness otherwise during your stay in Manuel Antonio. We’ll break up our trip by hopping on shore at one of the beaches to enjoy some delicious, tropical fruits before heading back.

My wife and I spend 3 days and 3 activities with Paddle 9 in Manuel Antonio last week. First was the mangrove kayak trip with Ariel and DK; next day was the Manual Antonio National Park guided hike with Ariel; and the third day was to the Nauyaca Waterfall with Mambo and Curry. Paddle 9 delivered on all 3 activities. They were prompt in the hotel pickup each day. Every guide was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Safety was always the highest priority. We had a lot of fun and gained knowledge of the local history in each activity. We would not hasitate recommending Paddle 9 for any trips in the future!

Best tour in Costa Rica. No hay mucho más que decir. A último minuto llamamos como last resort para conseguir cupo al tour de las cascadas Nauyaca y con la mejor disposición fue posible conseguirlos. Desde la recogida hasta el final fue perfecto, los guías siempre con la mejor energía, muy conocedores y mucho amor por lo que hacen. Sin duda alguna volvería a contratar otro tour con ellos.
