Spend a few precious hours paddling through the calm streams and channels of Isla Damas with us, immersing yourself in stunning mangrove forests on our half-day kayaking tour.
Our knowledgeable naturalist guides will showcase the protected waterways of the Damas Island Estuary, a birder’s paradise.
As you gently paddle open kayaks through this flooded forest, keep an eye out for the many species of herons who stalk the shallows – like stately great egrets, snowy egrets, and the elusive boat-billed heron who comes out at night. Colorful brown pelicans may glide by in formation, while large cormorants dry their wings after a deep dive for fish. Ospreys call out from high up in dead trees, scanning the water below for unsuspecting prey.
Drift peacefully through this natural wonderland, with only the soft sound of paddles dipping gently across the still waters. The mangroves of Damas Island offer a lush perspective for birding adventures and relaxation alike. Go at your own pace on our kayaking excursion while our expert guides share insights on the ecology suited to your interests.
Afterwards, relax over a classic Costa Rican lunch at our nearby restaurant – pura vida! We hope you leave with the same deep appreciation for these wonders that provide critical habitat for so many species of birds.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to kayak the breathtakingly beautiful mangrove forests of Costa Rica’s stunning Damas Island with us.
