Kayak Tour

Discover one of Costa Rica’s most fascinating ecosystems on a peaceful 2-hour guided kayak tour through the Tamarindo Estuary, located within the protected waters of Las Baulas National Marine Park. Your adventure begins as you paddle gently into the calm channels of the estuary, surrounded by lush mangroves — including red mangroves, with their striking stilt roots; black mangroves, known for their breathing roots; and white mangroves, thriving along the higher shores. These mangrove forests are vital nurseries for marine life and an essential habitat for countless bird species. As you glide through the water, you may spot howler monkeys swinging through the treetops, green iguanas sunbathing on branches, and crocodiles resting along the muddy banks. The estuary is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with frequent sightings of roseate spoonbills, egrets, herons, kingfishers, and ospreys. Your knowledgeable guide will share insights into the delicate balance of this ecosystem and the role it plays in protecting coastal biodiversity. The tour is suitable for all skill levels, with calm waters that make paddling easy and enjoyable. We provide stable, quality kayaks, paddles, and safety gear — you just bring your sense of adventure and your camera to capture the unforgettable scenery. Come explore the Tamarindo Estuary and experience the magic of Costa Rica’s mangrove wilderness from the water. This service requires a minimum of 2 participants to book.
