Kayak through Pacific mangroves

cos21-kayaking-through-the-mangroves-free-crreps

Paddle through shaded estuaries rich in tropical flora and fauna.

The island of Damas is home to a lively population of white-faced monkeys, anteaters, sloths, tree iguanas and caiman, as well as a wide variety of colourful bird life.

Mangroves crowd the river banks in a mass of spindly, grasping roots, providing shade as you gently paddle through the island’s estuaries and enter a rich and undisturbed ecosystem.
