Description

Discover the natural beauty of Guanacaste on a peaceful guided kayaking adventure along the Ora River, one of the area’s hidden natural treasures near Sámara and Carrillo. Paddle through calm waters surrounded by mangroves and tropical scenery while your local guide helps you discover the rich ecosystem of the river. Along the way, you may have the opportunity to observe a variety of wildlife, including tropical birds, monkeys, bats, crocodiles, and other native species. The relaxed pace of the tour allows you to enjoy the sounds of nature, take photographs, and learn about the important role mangroves play in protecting Costa Rica’s biodiversity. No previous kayaking experience is required, making this an enjoyable nature experience for both beginners and experienced paddlers. Because this tour takes place in a natural environment, wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed and vary depending on natural conditions.
