If you think the Damas Island Estuary and Mangrove Boat Tour is sedentary, then let our “interactive” tropical rainforest and delicate mangrove ecosystem knock you out of your seat. This experience of Costa Rican natural history – its exotic flora and fauna - is highly recommended for any naturalist, young or old, who wants to get to know firsthand the pulse of the mangrove ecosystem.

Let our world-class, highly trained, bilingual guides and naturalists steer you peacefully and comfortably in our ultra-quiet estuary boats as the wildlife comes to you – sometimes right into the boat! Experience curious families of monkeys moving hand over hand across the mangrove, including your boat, in search of food and adventure. Then discover the secret ways different exotic trees of Costa Rica replenish the environment worldwide, yet sustain themselves for decades of growth.

Wind through acres of a protected, pristine Costa Rican estuary as your experienced guides educate you on the secrets – both past and present – of the mangroves eco-structure which are so vital to Costa Rica and the world as well. And don’t forget to keep an eye out for caimans, sloths, crocodiles, boas, white face monkeys, egrets, and so many more species of wildlife. And finally, end your adventure with a relaxing and rewarding meal in typical Costa Rican flavor at a local “hot spot” restaurant before you return to your hotel.

This extinct eco system slowly fades away on the international landscapes come, learn, and experience a delicate treasure Costa Ricans are so desperately trying (and successfully) working to preserve – the mangroves. And maybe you will become a part of preserving not only a Costa Rican treasure, but a needed intricate ecosystem necessary for the world’s habitat balance as well. Enjoy, but leave changed, and leave to possibly help change the situation of this delicate ecosystem for the better.
