Damas Island Mangrove Boat Safari

One of the most cherished natural adventures in Manuel Antonio! If you think a boat tour through the Damas Island Mangrove Estuary is sedentary, let this dynamic, delicate ecosystem literally pull you out of your seat.

Travel through miles of protected, pristine coastal estuary aboard ultra-quiet covered eco-boats designed specifically to navigate shallow mangrove canals without disturbing the wildlife. Marvel at curious families of white-faced capuchin monkeys as they forage along the branches right above—and sometimes directly on—your boat!

Spot silky anteaters sleeping high in tree hollows, boa constrictors resting on thick roots, spectacled caimans basking along muddy banks, and four distinct species of mangrove trees that weave surreal shapes across the water. Available both as an illuminating Daytime Tour and an enchanting Nighttime Safari when glowing eyes and nocturnal creatures awaken.
