The Experience
What your day looks like
Experience the stunning Manuel Antonio coastline with the ultimate freedom of choice. This tour utilizes high-end Hobie Mirage Pedal Kayaks, giving guests the best of both worlds: you can propel yourself effortlessly using the leg-powered Mirage Drive system to keep your hands free for photography, or use the included paddle for a traditional kayaking workout. Launching from the secluded Maracas Bay, you will navigate the open ocean with stability and ease. Whether you choose to pedal or paddle, you will cover more ground than standard tours, allowing us to reach a hidden, pristine beach. Here, we take a break to swim in the warm Pacific waters and enjoy fresh tropical fruit snacks, surrounded by the raw beauty of the Costa Rican coast.

Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full

We take a short drive to the secluded Maracas Bay, a hidden gem known for its calm launch conditions and dramatic scenery. 2. Hobie Pedal Introduction Our guides will fit you with life vests and provide a brief tutorial on the Hobie Mirage Drive system. Even if you have never kayaked before, the pedal system is intuitive and easy to master in minutes. 3.
