Manuel Antonio Mangroves Tour

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel and take you to the Manuel Antonio dock. We hope you're ready to sail through this extraordinary natural park!

We'll cross a section of the Damas Island estuary, a wetland where we'll marvel at Costa Rica's unspoilt natural scenery. Keep your eyes peeled for white-faced capuchins, anteaters, herons, crocodiles, snakes and frigate birds.

As we sail, we'll get a glimpse of up to 6 different kinds of mangroves, such as the black, white and red mangroves. These shrubs can help to preserve some animal species, such as honey bees, which are safe and protected in this habitat.

Finally, we'll return to the shore and take you back to your hotel after a total of 2 to 2.5 hours.

Pickup & meeting points

This tour includes pickup from hotels in Manuel Antonio. If you're staying somewhere else, we'll meet at 9 am at one of the following meeting points, where you'll drive to the dock by following the guide in their vehicle.

Una actividad que sin duda hay que hacer. Mauro nuestro guia super amable y comprometido. Vimos los manglares y con ellos diferentes animales: serpientes, cocodrilos, perezosos y monos cara blanca que vinieron a visitarnos a la barca. Todo una gran experiencia. Este tour para mi es obligado a hacerlo.
