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.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It!
Expert & Knowledgeable guides led us on an Epic Waterfall Tour This is a spectacular tour of gorgeous waterfalls with opportunities to do some jumps and slides if you are up for it. The guides, Cory & Ismael, were top notch. They are safety oriented. I would never have done the jumps & slides without their expert guidance. They also are very knowledgeable about Nature & Costa Rica and shared many fun facts with us on our journey. We also had lunch at a Tilapia Farm that was absolutely scrumptious- one of the best meals I have had in Costa Rica. At the end of the day, we visited a gorgeous beach. The ocean was wonderful and really put me in the mood to kick back & relax in Costa Rica.

Full day waterfall tour This was mine and my husbands first trip to Costa Rica and we decided to do the waterfall tour! Corry and Ismael were hands down the best tour guides!!! I was a bit nervous about jumping off the cliffs but Ismael was great! They were both extremely informative about Quepos!(opens in a new tab) 
Great tour company. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had an unforgettable experience with Paddle 9 Adventures in Quepos, Costa Rica! We booked three activities with them: a waterfall excursion and a guided tour through Manuel Antonio National Park. Both were incredible!The waterfall tour was thrilling and perfectly organized, allowing us to enjoy Costa Rica’s natural beauty up close. The guided tour of Manuel Antonio was equally fantastic, and we saw an abundance of monkeys, sloths, and other local wildlife that our guide pointed out with expert eyes.Special shoutout to Reese, Ariel, Corey, and especially Gummi! Each guide was exceptional—highly professional, safety-focused, and attentive to every detail, ensuring we had an amazing time. They were fantastic with answering questions, making us feel safe, and ensuring we got the most out of each experience.If you’re looking for outdoor adventures in Quepos, I would highly recommend Paddle 9 Adventures. They truly went above and beyond to make our trip memorable!(opens in a new tab)
