About Kayak Club Tamarindo
About us
Kayak Club Tamarindo was founded more than 10 years ago with one mission: to offer an eco-friendly adventure experience in Playa Tamarindo. Surrounded by incredible biodiversity, our team of local guides wanted to create an experience that allows visitors to connect with nature in a peaceful, active and respectful way.
Over the years, we’ve earned the trust of thousands of visitors who choose us to explore the mangroves and Capitan Island by kayak and snorkel. Our slogan sums it up: "Enter the awesome world of kayaking. Our mission is to teach and guide you through the outdoors in a safe, fun, and respectful manner."
