Mangrove Kayak Tours - Tour Description
After a few paddling instructions, your professional & bilingual guide will lead you through the mangrove canals, explaining the significance of this unique habitat. Expect to see a wealth of animal and bird life such as mangrove wrens, swallows and an abundance of shore birds. On the banks you’ll see Sally light foot crabs, ant eaters and boa constrictors tangled in the aerial roots. Don’t panic when crocodiles slip in and out of the water. The ever so funny monkeys in the upper branches will add to the 'Jungle Book' scene.
This peaceful and educational easy paddling tour will take about 3 to 4 hours and includes specialized gear (kayak, paddles, safety jacket), snacks during the tour and professional & bilingual guides. Your final itinerary will display your tour departure time, since it depends upon the date and tide.

Additional Info - no rush, no action, just pure nature
We at MrTico like to introduce you to the Mangroves of Costa Rica. Meet one of the most unusual types of vegetation known to men. A few locations in the country are ideal to witness and learn about this delicate ecosystem where salt water meets fresh water, creating a periodically submerged forest of interlacing aerial roots.
Depending on your itinerary, you will either visit the mangroves of the Damas Island Estuary or the Hatillo Mangrove Swamps. At either one you will be paddling your own kayak through the canals discovering a Jurassic Park like beauty of the mangroves together with its great variety of wild life. If it comes to pure nature, kayaking the mangroves in Costa Rica is one of the most impressive, quiet ways to feel one with nature.
