Imagine gliding silently along a natural waterway – surrounded by a maze of giant roots and tropical foliage. Instead of engine noise, you hear birdsong, while iguanas warm themselves in the sun and a sloth gazes at you sleepily from its branch. Welcome to the mangrove world of Isla Damas – a magical yet delicate ecosystem that you explore in the gentlest, most respectful way: by kayak.
Far from the crowds and without any intrusive noise, you and your passionate guide navigate the hidden corners of this amphibious forest, alert to every rustle and call. It is a calm, accessible experience for all – one that allows you to connect with nature while contributing to its protection.

Off the tourist trail – explored in a small group
Off Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, not far from Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park, lies the small island of Isla Damas – surrounded by a dense mangrove forest. This unique ecosystem is a true haven of biodiversity: herons, howler monkeys, sloths, fiddler crabs, ibises and tree snakes coexist here in a delicate balance.
Exploring by kayak offers a gentle and respectful way to enter this habitat. Unlike motorised tours, which are often noisy and disruptive, the quiet glide of a kayak leaves no trace – and allows you to approach wildlife more closely without disturbing it.
At the same time, the tour provides an opportunity to learn about the vital role mangroves play: in combating erosion, regulating the climate and protecting marine ecosystems.
