The Mangrove Forest is one of the most vital and outstanding ecosystems in the world. Covering thousands of acres of protected forest, this amazing environment is home to a large number of birds, reptiles, mammals and insects. Approximately 70% of its wildlife is nocturnal, a fact that has made the Night Mangrove Tour one of our most fascinating adventures.
Our professional team will take you on a unique exploration of the mangroves in search of crocodiles, turtles, boas, lizards, bats, birds, crabs, raccoons, anteaters, and more. You will be safely transported through the mangrove channels on our fully equipped boat (there will be no walking on this tour). Discover and enjoy some of the most amazing wonders and secrets of this incredible ecosystem.

Great tour with Guillermo (spelling?). He and driver found so many animals. Took as long as needed to see them, made sure everyone was ready to leave before moving further down the river. Excellent knowledge base and very informative re animals, birds, plants. We learned a lot. Would do again. Dinner was fine, not as good of a soda as we are at elsewhere but decent local food. Enjoyed the few minutes sitting in the dark. No handling of animals and ethical tour.

Well worth the trip for the wildlife we managed to see. How the guides see anything is incredible but we saw snakes, birds and a sloth. Not sure you can class the meal as deluxe at the end of the evening, so you might want to just do the boat.
