Isla Damas Boat or Kayak Tour to See Wildlife
This is a great activity for seeing wildlife and exploring the local culture during your time in Manuel Antonio.
Isla Damas is a small peninsula outside Quepos with mangroves filled with wildlife. The water is nice and calm for paddling in a kayak or they offer a tour on a small motorboat. Animals that can be spotted include monkeys, sloths, birds, lizards, and maybe even an anteater.
We work with a small, local tour operator for this experience. The owner is a biologist and he and his team will teach you a lot about the wildlife you encounter.
This is a responsible wildlife tour where you will be able to see animals like monkeys up close, but not feed or touch them.
The tour includes a delicious traditional meal prepared by the owner’s family.
The van ride from Manuel Antonio to the starting location is about 20 minutes.
Cost: $57 per person + 13% tax. Free for children under 5.
Offered: Start time depends on the tide. We will let you know the pickup time by email.
Duration: 4 hours door to door (approximate)
Includes: Round-trip transportation from your hotel or vacation rental in the Manuel Antonio area, bilingual naturalist guide, all equipment, and a typical style meal.

William provided us an excellent mangrove kayak tour. Previous reviews are very accurate. The tour is based out of his multi-Generation family farm. He is highly experienced and his family served us an excellent breakfast. We very highly recommend this tour
