Damas Mangrove Boat Tour

Description

Our tour Damas Mangrove Boat Tour begins from when the shuttle service picks up our guests from their hotel. Our vehicles, which are equipped with air conditioning, transport our guests to the Quepos Wharf. Waiting at the wharf to receive the guests is the Head Guide, who will accompany them throughout the journey.

One of our most popular tours is a completely unique experience with nature and wildlife you can experience only in Damas Mangrove. Let our “interactive” tropical rainforest and delicate mangrove ecosystem knock you out of your seat in your boat – literally. This adventure of Costa Rican natural history – its exotic flora and fauna — is highly recommended for any naturalist, young or old, who wants to experience the pulse of the mangrove ecosystem. Let our world-class, highly trained bilingual, naturalist guides steer you peacefully and comfortably in our high-tech, ultra-quiet estuary boats as the wildlife comes to you – sometimes right into the boat! Experience curious families of monkeys as they migrate across the mangrove ecosystem (including your boat) in search of food and adventure. And 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 mangrove eco-structure so vital to Costa Rica and the world as well. During the tour you might spot, with the help of your experienced guide, caimans, sloths, crocodiles, boas, white face monkeys, egrets, and so many more species of wildlife, as your boat leisurely winds its way through the mangrove channels along the gentle currents of the coastal tides. And finally, end your adventure with a relaxing yet rewarding meal in typical Costa Rican flavor at a local “hot spot” restaurant before you return to your living accommodations. You must come experience this adventure before it slowly fades away on the international landscape of extinct ecosystems. Come, learn, and experience a delicate treasure Costa Ricans are so desperately trying (and successfully) 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. Acquire a thoughtful perspective on this delicate ecosystem and how to practice better sustainability.
