Mangrove Kayak

Puerto Jimenez

This tour launches from the Pueblo Viejo beach.  You can meet your guide there or meet in downtown Puerto Jimenez in front of Restaurante Carolina for a ride.  Bring swim gear, sunscreen, insect repellant (or use ours), boat shoes optional.  Be prepared for three hours of light paddling up the river as the tide comes in and a return down the mangrove estuary as the tide is receding.  Look for a wide variety of estuarine birds including egrets and ibis.  Also spot caymans, snakes, nutria, and a variety of fish types.  Drag your kayak over a sand spit at the Platanares gooseneck and paddle the final way home in the Golfo Dulce.
