An evening full of the sights and sounds of the mangrove forest - We had a great trip with Rodolfo and Gerardo on the damas island boat tour. We saw a variety of critters but unfortunately nature can’t be put on a schedule and it wasn’t as active as Rodolfo said it typically is. That being said, it’s a beautiful tour and the sounds of the jungle are very enticing. The other thing I must mention is how obviously passionate these folks are about the wildlife and their environment. The excitement in their faces when they see a critter and the passion with which they talk about anything from a bug to a crocodile. It’s a great experience not worth missing. Shout out to Gerardo the boat driver as well - a great driver with a keen eye and a huge smile.

Night nature through the Mangroves of Manuel Antonio. - What a great unexpected treasure to go through the mangroves by boat at night. Our guide, Kenneth #1, was enthusiastically sharing his joy providing us knowledge and nature at its best in the night. He not only spotted 4 different snakes, 2 types of king fishers sleeping in the trees, 2 herons, bull frogs, raccoons, -caymans, an alligator in the distance and spiders, but made sure wveryong in the boat saw the animal and take puctures. The local traditional Costa Rican dinner after the boat excursion was also yummy. I recommend this tour for a little different take of nature in Costa Rica.

Fun and educational tour - Awesome experience! I really wanted to see more of nighttime Costa Rican wildlife and was correct in thinking this is the place it would be! Johnny was a great guide and had so much to tell us about what we were seeing! Really didn’t expect to see so much and was pleasantly surprised.
