Paddle silently through the mangroves of Golfo Dulce
Puerto Jiménez, Costa Rica
Quiet kayaking tour from Puerto Jiménez through the mangroves of the Preciosa Platanares Wildlife Refuge, with chances to see herons, monkeys and raccoons.
What you can experience here
From Puerto Jiménez you paddle by kayak into the branching mangroves of Golfo Dulce in the Preciosa Platanares Wildlife Refuge. The brackish water leads you into quiet areas that can only be reached from the water. With a bit of luck you’ll see crabs on the tangle of roots, raccoons on the shore and fish between the roots. Bare-throated tiger herons and great egrets hunt in the shallows. From time to time howler monkeys call from the canopy, and Geoffroy's spider monkeys or capuchin monkeys can also appear. Your guide explains the plants, animals and the dynamics of the mangrove ecosystem.
The tour is a guided kayak trip and starts in Puerto Jiménez. You are out with a local guide who chooses the route within the Preciosa Platanares Wildlife Refuge. You paddle at a gentle pace on brackish water. The focus is on wildlife watching and short stops in narrow side channels.
