Damas Island Mangrove Boat Tour | Quepos, Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica Nature Adventures

You will be picked up from the hotel by your guide and driven to the island’s estuary, where the pier is. Depending on the departure time, lunch can be served before or after the tour. For your meal, you are offered options that include seafood dishes, including fresh fish and beef and chicken dishes. In addition, we have options for vegetarians and vegans.

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

Before you know it, the boat will stop when your guide spots something special for you to see. You may have seen a rare silk 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 quiet and fascinating tour will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of your stay in Manuel Antonio.
