Quepos Verde Aventura

About this tour

A three-hour guided kayak trip through the Isla Damas mangrove channels. Calm water, birds on every branch, suited to families.

A paddle through the Isla Damas mangroves on calm water. As you work through the narrow channels, look for birds perched on overhanging branches and animals moving in the water under the kayak.

It is a quiet trip and a good way to see how a mangrove forest works. You glide under the canopy, listen, and watch up close how the plants and animals depend on each other. Families do well here, and the pace stays relaxed.
