OCEAN ADVENTURES · GOLFO DULCE

Kayaking

Take a kayak trip around the Golfo Dulce and explore the mangrove estuaries.

This calm-water experience offers a unique vantage point to quietly observe the surrounding ecosystem.

No prior experience is required. Shoes and clothes will likely get wet, so lightweight clothing and sun protection are recommended.

THE MANGROVES

A Different View of the Golfo Dulce

From the water, the mangrove estuaries reveal a side of the Golfo Dulce that cannot be reached from the forest trails.

Moving quietly by kayak allows you to explore narrow channels and observe the surrounding ecosystem at a slower pace.

Departures depend on the high tide, when conditions allow access deeper into these coastal waterways.
