Summary: We had a fun and relaxing afternoon paddling through the peaceful mangroves. Abraham was great-- super nice and he knew so much about the birds, animals, trees and area. We were treated to fresh coconuts, delicious pineapple and even watermelon midway through the trip. We stopped to snack where the river meets the ocean and it was breathtaking. The trip was super chill annd well-planned. It was clear they had been doing this for awhile. Ashley and Abraham were great; it just what we needed. We highly recommend this tour to experience nature in Costa Rica.

Summary: This is one of our favorite things we did while we were in Costa Rica. It's an incredibly beautiful area that you paddle through with two species of mangroves. We saw lots of birds and a crocodile. The mouth of the Montana river is a really beautiful place. Further up steam the river comes close to the ocean with only a beach separating the two. We arrived at high tide and saw a couple waves crash over the beach into the river. Our guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. We paddled slowly trying to take it all in.
