Instead of enjoying one of our most popular tours, the Mangrove Boat Tour, in a high-tech, ultra-quiet estuary boat, why not experience the Island Estuary first hand? Damas and the Mangrove ecosystem in a kayak with non-adjustable seats. You'll enjoy a luxuriously indulgent two and a half hours paddling with the current as your highly trained bilingual naturalist guides reveal the secrets of the Damas Estuary's protected rivers and canals, plus mangrove habitat. Explore an unforgettable plethora of flora and fauna while you learn, experience, and participate in the magical ecosystem of our Costa Rican mangrove swamps, as well as our rainforest, so don't forget your camera.

Paddle comfortably as a family or as an intimate group, under the shade of native mangrove species, which grow only in select areas of the world and in Costa Rica. The pace of this adventure is defined by the ability and interest of our clients and the abundance of wildlife they wish to observe (or learn about) – and all this in a stunning natural habitat. You will observe sloths and numerous species of monkeys traveling through the treetops, nocturnal anteaters and various types of snakes that rest in the mangroves, and you will listen to the songs of the different seabirds as they glide over the top of your kayak, searching with curiosity the adventure And when you want, you can stop and enjoy some fresh fruit, natural juices while you take a break to savor the adventure up to that moment.

This kayak tour is an unforgettable experience that will help you understand the secrets and exotic treasures of our Costa Rican rainforest. And after your adventure, but depending on the time your tour started, enjoy a delicious and well-deserved Tico-style snack (Lunch or Dinner) at one of our local Manuel Antonio area restaurants.

Come learn about our delicate estuary/mangrove ecosystem. Then return with the knowledge of its importance to Costa Rica and the global environment. Conserving this delicate, but at the same time vital, aspect of life that fits intricately into the ecosystem of the entire world we know.
