Kayak au cœur du parc national
Description
Le parc national de Las Baulas, créé en 1990, s'étend sur environ 445 hectares et est situé sur la côte pacifique du Costa Rica, près de la ville de Tamarindo. L’estuaire de Tamarindo est le plus grand estuaire de mangroves d’Amérique latine et le seul moyen d’atteindre son cœur est par voie d’eau. Cela en fait un endroit calme et privé par rapport à de nombreux autres parcs nationaux du Costa Rica, facilement accessibles en voiture. Venez profiter de la nature à partager!
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Nous nous retrouverons au Pangas Beach Club à Tamarindo où se trouvent un parking, une salle de bain et une douche. Avant de partir en kayak de 35 minutes à travers des mangroves luxuriantes, je vais vous expliquer les techniques de sécurité et de pagayage appropriées. Arrivés au cœur du parc, nous laisserons les kayaks à terre pour parcourir de nombreux sentiers et observer le plus d’animaux possible. singes hurleurs, oiseaux exotiques, perroquets, hérons, grues, iguanes, écureuils et autres. Vous verrez des plantes exotiques, comme des cactus de fruits de dragon, des hibiscus sauvages, des champignons et de grands arbres comme le jardin de la forêt et le guanacaste national. Nous allons visiter et monter au sommet d'un site archéologique, construit par les anciens peuples autochtones en utilisant des roches apportées à proximité. Ici, nous pouvons voir une superbe vue d'oiseau de la canopée. C’est un endroit idéal pour observer la faune vue du ciel avant de retourner aux kayaks pour prendre un verre et de rentrer à Tamarindo. Au cours de notre aventure, je vous guiderai pour vous expliquer les comportements des animaux et la vie végétale que nous voyons. En raison des changements de marée quotidiens, il est important que nous planifions la visite 60 à 90 minutes avant la marée haute.

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.

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!!
