Discover one of the most magical night adventures near Manuel Antonio: a guided boat tour through the protected mangroves of Damas Island.

As darkness settles, the mangrove forest comes alive—perfect for spotting shimmering eyes in the branches and listening to the sounds of the tropical night. Cruise safely and comfortably in a modern, ultra-quiet boat (no hiking involved), ideal for wildlife viewing.

Your certified bilingual naturalist guides will share the secrets of this vital ecosystem and help you look for nocturnal activity: caimans and crocodiles hunting, night birds moving through the mud, reptiles, and daytime animals sleeping in the trees. On clear nights, enjoy a sky filled with stars as you glide through calm channels.

After the boat ride, wrap up the evening with a traditional Costa Rican dinner at a local restaurant before returning to your hotel—an unforgettable mix of nature, learning, and relaxation.
