    Active and relaxed: great fun!

    We enjoyed the ocean, beach and the river on an interesting and fun tour with guide Esteban. The active kayaking combined with a relaxed swim and lots of things to see (we saw amongst other things a sloth and lots of turtles!) makes for a very fun and diverse morning. :)

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the mix of kayaking, swimming, wildlife, and beautiful scenery. Sounds like a great morning in Punta Uva! Pura vida!

    Great morning! Ask for Steve!

    We had a wonderful morning with our very kind guide, Steve. Steve pointed out sloths, monkeys, turtles, basilisks, iguanas and birds! And more! We had delicious fresh coconut water at a break. We had a great time. Highly recommended! Ask for Steve; he was great!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re happy you had such a great morning, saw plenty of wildlife, and enjoyed the fresh coconut water too! Pura vida!

    Great tour!

    We had an excellent time! The clear bottom kayaks didnt add much to the experience and took a little bit to get comfortable. We weren't able to do the whole tour because of the weather so maybe other parts of the tour on clearer days would have made the clear kayaks cool. We loved the tour though. Esteban dud a great job and showed us lots of insects lizards birds and plant life. We also saw a few sloths and lots of monkeys. The hike was a lot of fun where we saw a few more sloths and learned about some history of punta uva and some more about plant life. We went with a 10 month old and a 3 year old. Both fussed a little bit during the kayak tour but eventually fell asleep. They both loved the hiking part!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the experience despite the weather. It’s wonderful that you still got to see so much wildlife and had fun on the hike. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back on a sunny day. Pura vida!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy you enjoyed the tour, the wildlife, and the hike to the mirador as well. Sounds like you had a beautiful morning in the jungle. Pura vida!

    Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Limon.

    How much does Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva cost?

    +

    Prices start at $68 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Limon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Limon is not rushed.

    Is Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 62 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Limon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva?

    +

    Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Limon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Limon and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Limon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Limon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Limon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Tour to Cahuita National Park from Puerto Limon, The Sloth and Kayak Tour - Ethical wildlife encounters, Bribri Magic Chocolate and Waterfall Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Limon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Limon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva?

    +

    Included: Clear Kayak; lifejacket; and Dry Bag. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva?

    +

    You meet up with your tour guide at Punta Uva, Pachos place. When you arrive at Punta Uva take a right and look for the second beach hut, it will the one with Rasta colors. DON'T GET CONFUSED WITH SLOTH POINT. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Clear Kayak Tour at Punta Uva offered in?

    +
