Overview

A canoe makes no noise. That is the whole point of this tour. Instead of a motor, you paddle the mangrove channels of the Las Baulas estuary at Playa Grande, and the wildlife stays where it is: migratory and resident birds, iguanas, coatis, raccoons, and howler monkeys in the branches above the water. Three hours on the water, three people to a canoe, with a guide trained by us who knows this estuary and its birds. Halfway through we leave the canoes for a short walk into the forest to look for the howlers, then paddle back. Private group only — you never share the canoes with strangers.

What to expect

  1. Las Baulas National Marine Park
    3h · Admission ticket included
    Immerse yourself in one of the most intimate and peaceful wildlife experiences in Costa Rica! Our Private Canoe Safari in the stunning mangroves of Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas offers an unparalleled connection with nature. Unlike motorized boats, our canoes are completely silent, allowing you to paddle at your own pace while observing wildlife without disturbance.

    For three unforgettable hours, you will navigate through the tranquil canals of this biodiverse ecosystem, where migratory birds from the north, colorful resident species, iguanas, coatis, raccoons, and even howler monkeys await. The mangrove teems with life, and your expert naturalist and birding guide will help you spot and understand the incredible wildlife around you.

    Halfway through the journey, we’ll step out of the canoe for a short hike in search of the famous howler monkeys, before continuing our paddle through this magical environment.
