Paddle 9

Our family of 5, aged between 17 yrs and 58 yrs, thoroughly enjoyed the 3 tours booked through Paddle9.We booked the Full day Waterfall tour, a morning Kayaking through mangroves at Damas Island and a morning guided tour at Manuel Antonio park.The activities were great. The waterfalls day was thrilling and the guides were so much fun. It was a great atmosphere. The whole group (maybe 14 people) ranged from about 8yrs to 80yrs.The guides really made sure that everyone had fun and were safe and we could opt out of jumps if we wished. There was a photographer and we chose to pay £66 (90USD) for a large collection of 209 photos and 3 short videos which we thought was reasonable for 5 people.We had a delicious meal after that was included.MA park was quite busy with a lot of tours but our guide still managed to show us a fair amount of wildlife through his telescopic lens and afterwards shared photos he took for free. After the tour we were given fresh fruit and a drink and then we chose to stay at the park at the beautiful beach. We took a slow walk back and saw loads of iguanas and monkeys.The Kayaking was a lovely, relaxing trip. The kayaks are operated by both foot peddles and oars. We mainly peddled. We saw monkeys, bats, iguana and loads of birds. Again fruit at the end was lovely.The guides are clearly very passionate about both the wildlife and the enviroment and shared so much information about the animals and the history of Costa Rica. It was a great mix of adventure, fun, wildlife and education.We didn't drive but tours included collection/drop off to our hotel.Thank you paddle 9🙂

My family and I had an incredible experience with Paddle 9 and their waterfall tour. The guides made everyone feel safe the entire time leading up to some really fun jumps off beautiful waterfalls. It was so much fun, we would love to go again next time in CR.

MUST DO IN MANUEL ANTONIO! I would absolutely do this again!! Alex & Mike were THE BEST!! They made us feel so welcomed, we’re so knowledgeable about Costa Rica, & made us feel safe. out of the 5 tours we did, this was our favorite!
