This tour is one of the most exciting, as you will be able to appreciate the nocturnal animals that are not observed during the day. When the darkness falls, it seems that everything sleeps, but in reality, the night is the awakening of a large part of the animal life, that for many people, is unknown. Depending on your preference you can choose between water or land, walking through tropical forest trails, kayaking or boating through the mangrove canals of Isla Damas.

pura vida up in the mangrove

Amazing setting, lovely kayaking experience, and a great tour guide to bring you through it! Michael brought humor and detailed knowledge about the flora and fauna of the mangrove. Chill vibes and great scenery will make this tour one of the highlights of our trip!

Amazing Experience

Would highly recommend this kayak experience, we kayaked all the way to one of the beaches with a snorkeling opportunity on route. There is a opportunity to see some local wildlife on the beach. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly. The tour includes a small lunch (pineapple, crisps and drinks) at the stop on the beach. Really fun experience would recommend.

Our guide Alex was very...

Our guide Alex was very informative and really took the time to make sure we all had an enjoyable experience kayaking in the Mangrove. He spoke very clear English, which was helpful because I only speak a little Spanish. Alex is a great guide and enjoys his job. We got to see several animals on our trip, it was so much fun!

Ride the Buffalo!

Well organized and entertaining. Ride the Buffalo, that is important! Memo was our guide and he is very well versed in the wildlife and the overall environment you are operating in. Great family excursion. We saw white faced monkeys, lizards, birds, Cayman, etc. Definitely try this one out.

Relaxing kayak trip

It was a calm trip through a beautiful mangrove forest. Our guide was relatively new, but informative and enthusiastic. We did not see a lot of wildlife on our trip. However, we did learn quite a bit about the mangrove environment from our guide. A few logistical notes: > The tour indicated they would provide bottle water, but they did not on this trip. My wife and I were fine as we had brought our own, but others on our trip didn't have water during the kayaking. > It went longer than planned. I think the end time was quoted as 4:30pm, but after a meal at the end of the trip (which we skipped), the end had to be more like 6:00pm. The tour operator was able to run us back to our hotel while others in the group had the meal, which we appreciated. Again, the timing was not an issue for us as we were flexible on time that day, and had other meal plans. > Communication from the tour operator was good. The actual time of the tour depends on high tide, so our time changed from 10:00am originally posted to 1:00pm. The operator let us know the time change very soon after the booking. Pick up at our hotel was as communicated in advance. Overall, an enjoyable kayaking tour with an informative guide.

Great way to explore the Mangrove eco-system.

It was a nice kayak excursion. Start time is determined by the tides, so look at early high tide schedule and that's a out when the trout will start. ( Not necessarily the time listed in Viator). Our guide was good..He knew the animals and the unique characteristics of the plants.
