T hroughout the local rivers, the mangrove trees play an important direct and indirect role in maintaining the fish stock with their long roots and branches becoming a vital habitat of many species of birds, mammals and reptiles. In the Tamarindo estuary, there are 5 types of mangroves—among them Red Rhizohora, White Languncuria and Black Avicennia—providing a spawning site for fish and drawing a plethora of birds, many of them seasonal migrants from North America.

That’s why a Mangrove Boat Tour is perfect for any client, as it offers an opportunity to observe the abundant wildlife of the tropical dry forest while learning of the unique ecosystem of the mangrove forest. Sail on a comfortable motor boat with seats and shade through the calm waters of Tamarindo estuary and look for Howler Monkeys, White-throated Capuchin Monkeys, Racoons, Spectacled Caimans and Lineated Basilisk Lizards. The duration and availability of the tour depends on the ocean tides. Our tour includes transportation from the Tamarindo Diria Beach & Golf Resort lobby, and soft drinks.
