5.00Anner is a wonderful guide and this trip is fabulous!! We saw tons of birds and wild life. The mangrove and the river were amazing! That said, the tour operator (Uvita Surf Experience - Amigos del Sol) had horrible communication. At 2 am on the day of the trip, I finally received information from the tour operator that the trip would NOT start at 6 am as planned - it was at 2 pm!! Also, NOT an entire day tour as advertised (6 am - 3:30 pm), it is about 3 hours. Again, the trip was wonderful and I would totally do it again, but I really wish the tour operator would have a more accurate post and communicated better about the trip details.
