Kajak til hjertet af nationalparken
Beskrivelse
Las Baulas Nationalpark, der blev oprettet i 1990, er cirka 445 ha og ligger på Costa Ricas Stillehavskyst, nær byen Tamarindo. Tamarindo flodmundingen er det største mangrove flodmunding i Latinamerika, og den eneste måde at komme til dets hjerte er ved vand. Dette gør det til et roligt og privat sted i sammenligning med mange af Costa Ricas andre nationalparker, der er let tilgængelige i bil. Kom og nyd naturen, den skal dele!

Rejseplan
Vi mødes på Pangas Beach Club i Tamarindo, hvor der er parkering, badeværelse og bruser. Før jeg tager ud på en 35-minutters kajak gennem frodige mangrover, vil jeg orientere dig om den rigtige sikkerhed og padlingsteknikker. Når vi når hjertet af parken, forlader vi kajakkerne i land for at vandre adskillige stier og observere så meget vilde dyr som muligt; hylende aber, eksotiske fugle, papegøjer, hegre, kraner, leguaner, egern og andre. Du vil se eksotiske planter, som dragonfruit-kaktus, vild hibiskus, svampe og store træer såsom skovens have og det nationale guanacaste-træ. Vi besøger og klatrer til toppen af et arkæologisk sted, bygget af det gamle urbefolkning ved hjælp af klipper fra nærliggende. Her kan vi se en forbløffende fugleudsigt over baldakinen. Dette er et fantastisk sted at observere dyrelivet ovenfra, før vi vender tilbage til kajakkerne for at få en forfriskende drink og padle tilbage til Tamarindo. I løbet af vores eventyr vil jeg guide dig og forklare den dyreopførsel og plantelivet, vi ser. På grund af daglige tidevandsændringer er det vigtigt, at vi planlægger turen 60 - 90 minutter før højvande.

Guide Luis was very knowledgeable and Luis was so easy to work with when we wanted to make a change to our booking. My family of 4 did this kayak trip in June 2026. It was a great way to see wildlife up close. We saw a crocodile, constrictor snake, monkeys, and birds. We would not have seen as much if we took the estuary motor boat tours, plus we got a nice paddle in. The kayak portion itself was nice, not too long, maybe about 40 minutes each way and then we walked around the park. The park was VERY BUGGY- uncomfortably so. I would have liked a slightly faster paced hike, we really only strolled a little bit and then stood around at different spots he wanted to point out. I'd still recommend and do this again because it was a cool way to explore the estuary, id just ask for a longer hike and bring more bug spray/long pants.
This is a great tour with a passionate and knowledgeable guide!! We saw many interesting and beautiful animals and paddled peacefully along the estuary and river surrounded by mangroves. This is a great tour for all ages, there were two small kids on the tour who had a great time. Remember to book directly with the organisation if possible!!
Thank you for your great review. I was a real pleasure to spend time with you and your family . Blessings Luis

Was a wonderful trip up the estuary in tamarindo. Luis was great, we saw a crocodile swimming, lots of birds and howler monkeys. Luis added in a hike to the trip which was great to see the mangroves up close. Highly recommend this trip.

Luis was a joy to be on a tour with! So knowledgeable, has a real love for the environment and adds much humour to the tour!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. It was real pleasure to bw with you. Blessings! Luis
Luis was all business at the start of the tour, unloading boats and trying to keep everything on time. The paddle out was a good workout. Then, once we got into the forest, Luis really shined. Luis taught us about various trees, plants and animals of the forest. He was a true teacher, and even gave us a review test to be sure that we learned what he had taught us! on the way back, we even saw a pic me kingfisher in a tree along the river. It was a great trip. PS Luis obviously timed our trip so that the motorboats full of people would be leaving when we arrived, which gave us a beautiful and quiet place to explore.
This is not a bad experience, but make sure you're prepared. We started at 10am and it went past 1pm. So make sure you bring some snacks and water. Also, the guide sets a fast kayaking pace, and expects you to keep up with him, so I would recommend having previous kayaking experience. Also bring sun protection.
Knowledgeable guide, very educational. About one hour of paddling each direction, and an hour of walking around in the forest learning about native trees and plants, historical native ruins, and howler monkeys! Luis was fantastic and offered water, bananas and cookies. Yum! We spent much longer on both water and land than other tours. perfect for enjoying the quiet estuary, variety of birds, and taking in the beauty of the national marine park. Our tour had just the two of us so it was a private excursion!!
