Osa Mangrove Paddle Tours

While you explore the mangrove from your boat remember to keep an eye out for all types of wildlife. You will be sure to see monkeys, raccoons, river otters, iguanas, Jesus Christ lizards, crabs, crocodiles, caymans, snakes, all types of birds, butterflies, and much more.  The mangroves are an amazing area to explore with their incredible root systems that grow above the water and spread out as if they are walking. Find yourself in the shade of 80 foot mangrove trees that are a host to so much bio-diversity. The mangrove is an important area because it acts as a filter for reefs, and it is where the land meets the ocean. The mangrove is home to many different crabs, birds, lizards and all types of animals and insects.

This tour is a very easy paddle because you will be going up river with the tide and then turning around to paddling back down with the tide. You will stop and traverse over to the Gulf of Dulce to go enjoy the nicest swimming beach on the Osa Peninsula which holds miles of deserted beach, no rocks, and a thatched roof to get out of the sun and to enjoy snacks under.

You will have snacks (seasonal fruits, cookies, and peanuts) before a little more swimming or beach combing. After the beach, you will return down river for the last leg of your adventure.

The trip takes 3-4 hours, and we supply dry bags (for all your gear, even cameras and video gear), water bottles, snacks, kayak and paddle, life jacket (if you want), and a knowledgeable guide.
