ISLA DAMAS MANGROVE KAYAK TOUR


Located beyond the breakwaters of the Pacific Ocean, the mangrove forests of Manuel Antonio offer a mesmerizing habitat that is simultaneously tranquil and brimming with excitement. Glide serenely along the gentle currents of the coastline, and glimpse the paradise of Damas Island, renowned for its extraordinary plant and animal life.

Embark on a serene adventure into the heart of the rainforest on our Mangrove Kayak Tour. 

Gently row through the brackish waters, immersing yourself in a world teeming with rainforest fauna. The natural shelter provided by the mangroves creates a sanctuary for fish, reptiles, and amphibians, offering them respite from predators.

As you paddle, look up through the branches to catch sight of vibrant parrots, slithering boa constrictors, and perhaps even a resting three-toed sloth. Crabs scuttle from tree to tree, while caimans, river turtles, and iguanas observe your tranquil glide past.

Keep an open eye out for the highlight of every kayaker's journey - a playful visit from the white-faced capuchin monkeys! These curious primates delight in swinging through the trees and greeting passing tourists.

Mangrove forests, a natural barrier separating the Pacific Ocean from the land, are an incredibly adaptable and invaluable ecosystem. Flourishing in conditions where many other plants struggle to survive due to low oxygen levels, high salt concentration, and unpredictable tides, these trees thrive against the odds. Prepare for a truly extraordinary nature experience!

Kayaking through this swampy terrain, you'll traverse a habitat that Costa Rica is committed to preserving. Mangrove forests, threatened with extinction, are among the most productive environments globally, boasting unparalleled biodiversity.
