Damas Mangrove Kayaking

Escape from the world for a while by discovering the Damas mangrove by kayak. Spend a few luxuriously indulgent hours paddling with the currents as your highly trained, bilingual naturalist guides reveal the protected inland waterways of the Damas Estuary and mangrove habitat. Explore an unforgettable plethora of flora and fauna as you learn about, experience, and participate in our magical Costa Rican mangrove and tropical rain forest ecosystem -- but don’t forget your camera.

Paddle comfortably in an intimate group under the shade of several tall species of mangroves, which grow only in few selected areas of the world, one of them being Costa Rica. The pace of this adventure is determined by your abilities and interests. Watch sloths and numerous species of monkeys travel through the tree canopy, look out for nocturnal silky anteaters and several types of non-poisonous snakes resting in the mangroves, and listen to the songs of the various marine birds as they glide over your kayak. After the tour, stop and enjoy some local fresh fruits and refreshments as you pause to savor your adventures thus far.

This kayak tour is an unforgettably memorable experience that will help you understand and explain the exotic secrets and treasures of our Costa Rican tropical rain forest. And after your adventure, yet depending upon the time your trip began, enjoy a delicious and well-deserved Tico-style meal (a hot breakfast, lunch or dinner) at one of our local Manuel Antonio restaurants.

Come learn about our outstanding Costa Rican mangrove estuary and ecosystem -- so uniquely different than other parts of the world. Then return with the knowledge of how important it is to Costa Rica -- and the world environment -- to preserve this vital aspect of nature that intricately fits into the ecosystem of our entire world.
