Full Description

? The Damas Mangrove Estuary is one of Costa Rica’s most fascinating and diverse ecosystems—an intricate network of waterways protected by towering mangrove trees. During this guided boat tour, you’ll travel slowly through the shaded canals, giving you an up-close look at the incredible wildlife that thrives here.

After meeting your guide just minutes from downtown Quepos, you’ll board a spacious boat equipped for comfort and safety. Over the next two hours, your naturalist guide will point out hidden animals, explain how mangroves support biodiversity, and share interesting ecological facts.

Along the journey, you may encounter capuchin monkeys leaping from tree to tree, colorful birds perched in the branches, iguanas sunning themselves, and crocodiles resting along the water’s edge. When the tide is high, the boat can access additional channels, increasing your chances of spotting more wildlife.

This is a calm and family-friendly experience suitable for all ages, including wheelchair users. You’ll finish the tour with a deeper appreciation of Costa Rica’s mangrove ecosystem—and likely some unforgettable wildlife photos.
