2.Everglades City: Guided Kayaking Tour of the Wetlands

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 182 reviews · 3 - 4 hours · from $102

From the Ivey House area, you’ll ride to the launch point, learn basic kayak handling, then paddle mangrove tunnels and cypress waterways with an English-speaking naturalist. Guides such as Matt, Ryan, Jean, and Kenzie help spot wildlife and explain the Everglades ecosystem.

“Ryan was a great guide. We really enjoyed the 3 hours we spent on the water. I think the actual area that you kayak in is the Big Cypress National Preserve so it’s 1.5hr drive from the entrance of the Everglades NP. We felt safe and cared for the entire time. Ryan helped us spot gators and other wildlife, and was very knowledgeable about the area. It felt way safer than if we had just rented our own kayaks! Ryan brought us each a bottle of water and a muesli bar. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.”

3.All in one-day: Bishkek city tour and Ala-Archa National Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 103 reviews · from $99Top rated

Spend 7 to 8 hours with a private guide such as Faruk, Talgat, or Anvar, combining Ala-Archa’s mountain trails with Bishkek landmarks, Osh Bazaar, and local Kyrgyz food. Hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, hiking poles, water, snacks, and lunch are included.

“38 deg heat and no air conditioning in car to Ala Archa park; inedible lunch; had to wait for over an hour for second guide to finish with his previous clients; and neither guide had any knowledge of subjects we were interested in, such as Kyrgyz history. Our tour fee should be refunded.”

4.Day Trip from San Jose to Irazu Volcano National Park, Cartago City and Orosi Valley

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 47 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $149

Leave San José early for Irazú Volcano’s high craters, Cartago’s Basilica, and the coffee-growing Orosi Valley. Guides such as Ricardo, Mario, Ronny, Augustine, and Roger have led highly praised departures, with local lunch and occasional stops at Lankester Botanical Gardens.

“I do wish we had been able to explore more of Cartago City and it's ruins, but this was still a great tour and lucky me - I got a private guide because I was the only person who signed up from south San Jose that day! Unfortunately the dry season has been so hot and dry that there was no water in the crater, but it's still a beautiful and interesting area. Again, I wish I had been able to go to the viewpoint but the guide's car was not a 4x4. Orosi Valley was the highlight - the beautiful damn, hanging bridge, spectacular views, and gorgeous greenery.”
