Mangrove Boat Tour

Enjoy the fascinating mangroves of Isla Damas on this relaxing boat tour.  This is without a doubt one of the most highly recommended tours in the area. This relaxing half-day tour begins just offshore of the Damas Island estuary, about 5 KM south of Quepos.  You will be picked up at the hotel by your guide and driven to the launch area where the locally renowned floating restaurant La Tortuga is docked. Depending on the time of departure, lunch can be served either before or after the tour.  For your meal, you are given choices featuring seafood dishes, including shrimp, mahi-mahi, and other fresh fish as well as beef and chicken entrees.

After you leave the launch on your partially covered motorboat, you will glide along the fascinating canals of the estuary where your guide will provide comprehensive information about the complex, self-sustaining mangrove system, including the various types of mangroves found in Costa Rica.

Before you know it, the boat will be brought to a stop as your guide spots something special for you to see.  He may have spotted a rare silky anteater lounging in a tree, a two or three-toed sloth maintaining its image as one of the world´s laziest mammals, or a stunning iguana or two. This tranquil, fascinating tour will certainly be one of the highlights of your stay in Manuel Antonio.
